It looks like a laundering scheme of our taxpayer dollars to big U.S. weapons manufacturers. We give them taxpayer dollars, calling it aid, and they launder it back by buying military equipment from the civilian military-industrial complex.

Not just dollars, but technology sharing and export protection. Maybe a bit laundering, but also market protection, like tariffs.
