This comes after Rubio barnstormed 3 Latin American nations with right-wing leaders days ago

We're SHORING UP our own hemisphere and putting our money where it's best used!

The nations losing: Iraq, Tunisia, North Macedonia and Slovakia

The nations gaining: COLOMBIA — who just elected "El Tigre" — PERU, Ecuador and Panama

Here's Rubio during his trip, where he was honored by the leaders he visited and absolutely CRUSHED IT.

$52 million?

Hell, there was probably $52 million of taxpayer money fraud committed today across the USA.

That is fine and all, but that is like taking a single drop of water out of the ocean.

While that is only about 3 minutes and 42 seconds of government spending, I see no reason to redirect it.

Better headline:

Sec. Marco Rubio is ENDING $52 million in military assistance to Europe and the Middle East, and redirecting it toward nothing.

So 1/5 of what we spend in Iran in a day...

Or what, prob 1/1000 of what we've given to Ukraine


All for it, but how about cut all external military funding, especially where it actually adds up.

They can take all the federal money going to New York, California, Minnesota and Illinois and send that to more deserving States

We will eventually abandon Europe entirely and focus on the North and South America alliance. No need to defend a continent that seems dead set on committing cultural suicide.

They are our allies in the middle east...we give them money and they use it to purchase munitions from us.

Trump Administration Plans $2.8 Billion US Israel Arms Deal With 40,000 One-Ton Bombs: Military Aid, Munitions and Gaza Explained...

The proposed transaction has reportedly been informally communicated to relevant congressional committees but is not yet a finalized sale.

An important part of the story is how the purchase would reportedly be financed. Much of the proposed transaction would use foreign military financing, a mechanism through which U.S. government funds help an eligible country purchase American-made defense equipment.

The proposed US Israel arms deal also highlights the continuing strategic relationship between Washington and Jerusalem. Military cooperation has remained a major component of the relationship, including weapons transfers, defense assistance and security coordination.
