For the record, I think I would rather money go to help Israel than Ukraine.

Move to Iran and get some of that “free” healthcare, commie.
Report back, if you can.
ETA: you Iran supporters can move there with him

What actions or decisions was based solely for Israel’s benefit ? We will wait for a “blow us away response “
Let me respond by asking what benefits we got for spending 20+ years in the Middle East, along with countless lives ruined, and trillions of dollars spent? All because of some bad intel we got from Israel that said there were weapons of mass destruction. Then all of the “migrants” from these Muslim countries were displaced into not other Muslim countries, but into predominantly Christian countries. Gee that’s a heck of a coincidence. Right?

I would be in favor of just writing checks to the MIC, and skip the wars.

That's all??? Sounds like a bargain....
Wish midterms weren't around the corner, we'd probably keep firing em off.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies collected data from Operation Epic Fury and estimated the number of missiles fired by the US as noted below on the left. Looking at the estimated cost per missile and summing it up adds to over $11 billion dollars,….and what did that buy us?
What does it ever buy us? Has there ever been a president who hasn't dropped bombs on other countries since the bomb was invented?
We dropped an estimated 26,000 in 2016 alone. Did you do a cost breakdown of all of those bombs, or any in-depth analysis of what it got us? Of course not, because you didn't give a frick because it wasn't a Republican president.
The US has appropriated 188 billion dollars for Ukraine over the past 4 years. That is about half of what we have given Israel over the past 80 years. Did you call out how Ukrainians were fraudsters? Of course not, because it wasn't a Republican president giving Ukraine that money.

Moving goalposts? How is that 20 year nonsense have anything to do with Trump stance in this case of less than 3 months ? You didn’t answer the question of how any of this was solely for Israel benefit ?

Lighting 11 billion dollars on fire isn't a bargain.
It's lunacy

Made you uncomfortable didn’t it. Go ahead and address what was asked of you. It relates to this situation. If you think really hard you can figure it out I’m sure of it.
And for the record, I never said it was solely for their benefit. But it far and away benefits them more than us by miles. Same as the wars over in the Middle East where we spent 20+ year, trillions of dollars, countless lives… etc all because we got bad intelligence from our greatest ally Israel that there were weapons of mass destruction. Then all of the migrants that were displaced by these wars were moved into predominantly Christian countries.

yeah, its fricked up. The MIC has to be fed. Peoples' 3rd and 4th homes depend on it.
This board used to be in almost total agreeance on this, but now we are back to muh "freedom ain't free!" Sad.

Let’s be honest here. Your issue isn’t the expense. Your issue is Israel was involved.

They also spit at Christians that are there in Israel. So that’s good right?
