A report by Brown University’s Watson Institute reveals that since the beginning of the war, the US has spent more than $22 billion on military aid to Israel - from weapons and equipment to the deployment of aircraft carriers. Israel receives more U.S. military aid than any other country and is uniquely able to use that funding to spend on domestic goods.
The total amount of American aid since the start of the war is about NIS 85 billion ($22 billion) based on an average exchange rate by the Bank of Israel over the past year. Most has been delivered but about $5.2 billion will only arrive next year. According to official estimates from the Bank of Israel, the total cost of the war is estimated to be about NIS 250 billion ($65 billion), including around NIS 118 billion ($31 billion) for military costs including army operational costs, replenishment of military equipment, ammunition, and logistical support. Therefore, by a simple calculation, the U.S. has been funding about 70% of the war effort.
70%… This is insane. A country that cannot “afford” genearal public healthcare. How is there no revolution happening in the US?
Forget affording public healthcare. Universal healthcare for all is actually estimated to decrease the overall healthcare spending for the country — problem is it would also decrease corporate profits.
Because any revolution we may attempt would wind up in an immediate blood bath.
If we try to strategize and form and militia, one of the 3 letter agencies if not multiple would infiltrate and have us all locked up before we could actually get anything done. That or just kill us all because as civilians we are massively and i mean massively outgunned. Hell The national guard could wipe out any militia in the making on its own without ever needing backup.
Our only shot would be to attack very quickly in short waves but that would be impossible as we couldn’t organize
In short it’s just not possible. From a strategic stand point as well as a man/ arms standpoint.
