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.
Expect China to make a move on Taiwan soon................
Only Islamic Terrorists fail to recognize Israel’s perfection.
whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes to make sure the war profits never stop.
“This sad old republic is bankrupt and has a complete worthless and brainless puppet as president.”
We bankrupted the USSR: Now it’s our turn!
I was comparing the current amount of $$$ being given to Israel compared to $$$ already given to Ukraine.
Disputed territory, not ethnic cleansing like the the kind that you palestinian supporters believe in.
Israel has a big stake in Azerbaijan, which serves as a critical source of oil and is a staunch ally against Israel’s archenemy Iran. It is also a lucrative customer of sophisticated arms.
The real truth.Again, not ethnic cleansing simply because the Armenians are Christians.
I hear it's 80%.
My concern is that in a packaged deal Ukraine will get a larger undisclosed sum.
I see no reason why the two countries are tied together.
NO!!!!!!!!
Israel has repeatedly denied the Armenian genocides of the early 20th century.
Pick up your rifle and head over there, leave the rest of us out of it.
As in palestinian us? Sure thing.
I'd say that the Jew-hating contingent is strong in YOU. Go play in some heavy traffic.
sometimes old yeller gotta be put down.
Somebody at the Treasury needs to slip a pallet of Bennies destined for the Ukraine over to the Israelis.

Total Revenue from all sources for the US Government is down $437 Billion to $930 Billion from prior fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.(The Treasury Report contradicts itself on the first page as to the amount of prior year revenue, giving both $4.9 Trillion and $4.1 Trillion total revenue in 2022.)
Total Revenue for the USA for the fiscal year ending September 2023 was $3.97 Trillion based upon the recently released financial statements by the US Treasury.
Of that amount $1.48 Trillion was Social Security and Medicare taxes that are Trust Fund Taxes and not part of the General Fund.
That leaves total General Fund Revenue at $2.49 Trillion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.
****** WARNING ******
$2.49 Trillion Total General Fund Revenue divided by the current National Debt of $33.6 Trillion is 7.4%
That means if interest rates on the National Debt reach 7.4% it takes 100% of our Total General Fund Revenue just to pay the interest on the debt, leaving nothing for defense or any other government spending.
Interest rates on the National Debt in the early 1980’s were over 15%.
The USA is ready to crash. We can’t raise taxes enough to cover the interest on the debt and spending. This is beyond repair. Beyond bankrupt.
Social Security Trust Funds have all been loaned to the General Fund and spent. In 2022, Social Security had a $21.5 Billion deficit in that benefit payments were more than taxes received. This deficit also had to be covered by the general Fund. (2023 figures have not been released)
Man you are really a hater. Find another Presidental Canidate, and then pick up a Bible.
Agree
That was my nice response to you, my real response was edited. Don’t test me.
