US taxpayers have given this guy exponentially more money / arms than all other countries combined - enough
“US taxpayers have given this guy exponentially more money / arms than all other countries combined”
Not true at all. Europe was actually ahead in total aid a month or 2 ago, although recent US commitments have again pushed it out into the lead for “pledged” expenditures. Some of those go out for years to add up to the total.
Where the US is way ahead is in arms, mostly because we are the only Western country with big stockpiles. But, that said, several countries are ahead of us in aid per GDP. A few, way ahead. France, well, hey, you can hurl any insult you want at them.

Also, the $$ value of old arms that would be replaced soon anyway (and often requiring substantial funds to decommission*) is overstated. They’ve already done most of their job, so to speak.
*One reason we still have over 200k of those old rockets that (some of) will be converted from cluster munition missiles to GLSDB’s is that appropriations to scrap the rest of ‘em (we started with something like 400k!) were never made. Then SAAB & Boeing engineers came up with the idea of the GLSDB’s.
