Investing in America Agenda Funds Projects Across 44 States to Strengthen the Power Grid Against Extreme Weather, and Deliver Cheaper, Cleaner, Reliable Energy to Communities Across the Country; Supports Union Jobs in the Utility Sector
Not to mention these projects are just a small part of a $550 billion dollar infrastructure investment bill.
But for the poster above you, the idea of that law is instead of passing smaller bills regularly, this will make sure there’s enough funds available until the end of the Ukraine war so it doesn’t get used as a bargaining chip by Republicans in domestic squabbles, and so the Russians know they can’t win by just waiting for America to get bored and stop supporting Ukraine. Attaching a small amount of Israel support and other things to it are a way to help ensure it gets bipartisan support to pass (since even though republicans no longer really want to vote to help Ukraine, they do want to be seen to help Israel, and republican support is needed to get it through the house of representatives which they control).
A minuscule fraction of what we spend on our own military. Strange that bothers you less than this war we don’t have to fight but still benefits us immensely.
Like 1% of our military budget and in return our military industry is putting highly skilled engineers back to work replacing our stockpiles and supply the countries that feel a need to up their defensive security capabilities in the wake of a return of war in europe.
This story? I’m having trouble looking for sources because Israel bombed an apartment literally next to it in 2021 🤠 (and by the way Hamas was known to be using that building, and they warned people to evacuate multiple times - according to whatever news article I read)
yeah clearly JDAMs aren’t defensive, we’re supposed to be supplying Israel to defend itself… This is a more than fair complaint.
And how much are we giving Ukraine and Israel this week?
You understand the concept that more than one thing can happen at a time, yes?

Different color of money.

Spoken like a true american
🇺🇲🦅 GET SOME!!! GET SOME!!! 🦅🇺🇲 America #1 babyyyy
There are children buried under the rubble of a former apartment complex in Gaza City right now.
It was destroyed by a “defensive”, American-made JDAM missile.
How many more “defensive” weapons should we give them? $3.5 billion is enough to kill lots of children.
