Just something I was thinking about. What are peoples thoughts on the USA funding the war in Ukraine and Israel?
Opposed
Stay humble. Stack sats.

You think it is just a land grab?
reply
I think both conflicts are a bit more complicated than that, but both of them are land grabs.
reply
or resource grabs? I just dont get why we need to fund ukraines war, and israel. Why did israel get support faster than ukraine?
reply
Israel is incredibly powerful and smart. That little piece of land of Israel has been surrounded by enemies for decades and has squashed all conflict via technology, medicine, weapon etc. What is not covered is that Iran fired 500+ missiles at Israel but roughly only over half 300ish+ made it to the air. Everyone saw the fireworks, right? Naturally, US would support such a defense system.
reply
They also told Israel they were firing all those missiles. It was just a bunch of war theater.
reply
But the threat was never real. How can it be real if your enemy gets only 60% of missiles in the air if they're using supposedly top of the line technology? The other 40 missing fire?
reply
How else do you write things off? You have to play the media!
A way to get rid of their garbage so they can buy more.
reply
I just dont get Israel. If it is so bad and wartorn...MOVE.
reply
But they're winning? I'm not supporting them. Don't mistake me. I think it's ridiculous if we look from a third POV. What country did the weapons come from? How did they get them is the better question.
reply
Are they winning? Who actually wins in a war?
The point isn't to fund the conflicts. The point is to fund Boeing, Ratheon, and Lockhead Martin who are all major campaign donors of both parties.
reply
Will it really help fund them? Arent these kind of small scale skirmishes?
reply
Not at all. The Ukraine conflict literally exhausted all of the available munitions that NATO nations could supply.
These are major customers of the military industrial complex.
reply
I see. I thought it was starting to tone down, since lots have outdated weapons.
