Israel has asked the United States for $10 billion in emergency military aid, The New York Times reports, citing three officials familiar with the request.

The aid package is currently being put together by Congress in coordination with the White House and will also include funds for Ukraine, Taiwan and the US-Mexico border, according to NYT.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said during a visit to Tel Aviv on Sunday that US lawmakers have discussed providing Israel with replacement ammunition for the Iron Dome missile defense system, precision-guided bombs, JDAM kits to turn standard bombs into precision munitions and 155-millimeter ammunition.

Working class taxpayers getting crushed

There’s too much debt already. The Federal Reserve thinks economic growth comes with lots of debt and low interest rates. The Fed succeeded in that banks, consumers and The Federal government went wild in borrowing money (to finance the interests of other profligate countries), but now a hangover is happening as inflation surged and interest rates rose.

First, debt laden banks. Paper losses on the most opaque part of US banks’ bond portfolios are now close to $400bn — an all-time high, and 10 per cent above the peak at the start of the year that caused the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

Rising interest rates are really causing havoc at banks, particularly small banks. The US 10-year Treasury yield rose again after a brief respite in rate increases.

And The Federal government is seeing interest payments on their massive $33 TRILLION debt load. Rising Treasury yields = higher US interest payments on debt … really fast. And with interest rates rising, Americans are seeing a surge in debt.

With rising Treasury yields, the 30-year conforming mortgage yield is up 173% under Biden’s Reign of Economic Error.......inflation is crushing the middle class and low wage workers. (Excerpt) Read more at confoundedinterest.net ...

The last I heard the Uniparty was working on another $100 billion load of laundry. I’m sure the Israelis offer some laundry services but nothing like the 50% back deal with the Ukes. Rest assured, the Ukes and DC oligarchs will continue to get their cut.

Israel is defending itself against the Hamas puppets financed by Iran.
In turn, Iran is being the puppet of Russia. Iran has always been financed by Russia. They are part of the Russia-Iran-North Korea-Belarus-Venezuela-Nicaragua-China ALLIANCE. Remember? Americas worst enemies ever.

THUS, fighting against Iran is like fighting against Russia. Fighting against Russia is like fighting IRAN.
They are TWO brothers in arms. They are officially Uber-partners !

LENDING weapons via lend-lease to Ukraine and GIVING ten billion to Israel is what is necessary to do in order to protect Americas security.

Israel and Ukraine are two strong allies to America and Europe.
Nothing wrong about that. Its a good thing.

Zelensky’s sucking up..... whining for a-no-th-er US debt- slaughtering Israeli foreign aid package - so they can slide in $$goodies for Ukraine.


Zelensky Pushing US for Long-term Security Deal Based On ‘Israeli Model’
Ukraine has come out vocally backing Israel despite arms sales to Hamas.
BY DANIEL BUSH, 8/31/23, newsweek.com

Excerpt-—Ukrainian President Volodymyr said he expects Ukraine and the United States will agree to a security pact that’s similar to the alliance between the U.S. and Israel. The two countries don’t have a defense treaty, but the U.S. provides Israel with billions in military aid and has long been its most important ally.

“We will likely get this exact model,” Zelensky said in an interview Sunday with Ukrainian media, “the Israeli model that includes weapons, technology, training [and] finances.”

Such an arrangement would provide Ukraine less security than membership in NATO, which President Biden has said won’t happen before the end of the war. But it would establish Ukraine as a critical long-term partner for the U.S. in Eastern Europe, while sending Russia the message that Western support for Kyiv won’t waiver.

Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.

When Zelensky says he wants aid akin to the Israeli model, here’s what he means.

> Cheap? We are $33 trillion + in debt. <

You beat me to it. I wish Israel only the best. But we are a debtor nation. And we are not just a little in debt. We are a lot in debt. This cannot continue.

But of course it will continue. And that’s because everyone has their own pet project than absolutely must be funded. Yes, we must reduce the debt. Nevertheless, we must fund:

Israel
Ukraine
NASA
Etc.

The list is endless. So off the cliff we go.

Now that we are financing a second war, time to put the Ukraine war financing tar baby in slacker Germany’s court’ Germany has more of a vital national security interest in a war in its backyard. We don’t and yet, we have been funding what wealthy Western Europe should have been funding. For every dollar we provide in military aid to Israel, Germany has to provide to Ukraine. If we give Israel 10 billion, tell Zelensky to take his tin cup to Germany and we don’t give him a dime until Germany coughs up 10 billion to him. After that, they are on their own

Israel continues to make a terrible mistake being a taker from the globohomo cabal.

Globohomo will pay Israel off to not do a Gaza invasion.
