The latest gag-a-rama is that US tax dollar billions to Israel is a “mere pittance”
.....that taxpayers are gouged “trillions” for NATO.

Reality check

Tiny Mideast Israel got $300 billion tax dollars to date
<><>”that we know of”...... probably much much more
<><>that they never have to pay back,
<><>that they continually lie about.....
<><>saying $billions to them goes to “make jobs” here.....

The United States’ financial commitment to NATO involves both direct payments to the alliance’s operational budget and indirect contributions through total national defense spending:

Direct Funding (Common Budget):

The U.S. contributes about 14.9% of NATO’s direct common-funded budget, which pays for the running costs of NATO’s civil and military headquarters and infrastructure.

This share equates to roughly $924 million of the total $6.2 billion NATO common fund for 2026.


Indirect Funding (US National Defense):

The US reported its national defense budget accounts for about 60% of all NATO members’ combined military spending—and is used by us for all US military operations globally........not solely allocated to NATO.

How much is not having 100 million (or more) dead people worth?

Your AI math is terribly wrong, and excludes costs of USA troops, bases, and weapons.

You know, you forgot 99% of the costs.

So, in short, you’re lying. And lying badly. Again.

The costs of carrying NATO to the USA is in trillions.

I know you’re just a server farm troll, but do better.
