In a bumbling news conference, Trump and his jesters announce ceasefire with Houthis, granting them leave to attack Israel and non-US allies of Israel without retaliation. This means that while it remains a criminal offense for US citizens to support a Houthi led commercial boycott of Israel, it is legal for Houthis themselves to attack Israel and its non-US commercial partners. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/trump-announces-us-stop-bombing-yemen-houthis-attack/story?id=121525865 |

| Probably because our military is run by a drunk who just lost two military jets at cost of like $150M+ due to ineptitude. Can’t blame this on DEI hires. |

| I didn’t even know about the drones, another $210M. I’m sure their intel was a HS prankster on Signal. This is a clown show. |

| Why isn't Trump demanding some kind of repayment deal from Israel the way he did to Ukraine? |

You really think they would give us more than 20 billion back? How are they going to continue having free healthcare then? |

If Ukraine should be expected to repay then Israel should, too. |

It’s more than $20B. Way more. Over the last decade (2015–2025), the United States has provided Israel with approximately $70–80 billion in financial aid, primarily focused on military assistance. This figure includes: - Foreign Military Financing (FMF): Around $45.4 billion, with an annual allocation of approximately $3.8 billion under the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) covering fiscal years 2019–2028. This MOU commits $33 billion in FMF grants and an additional $5 billion for missile defense programs over the decade. - Missile Defense Funding: Approximately $6–7 billion, supporting systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow programs. This includes $500 million annually for joint U.S.-Israel missile defense projects as part of the 2016 MOU, plus additional appropriations. - Supplemental Aid: A significant $26.38 billion in supplemental funding, notably a $14.3 billion emergency aid package passed in April 2024 following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and additional allocations like the $4 billion expedited by the Trump administration in 2025. - Other Costs: A Brown University report estimates at least $17.9 billion in military aid since October 7, 2023, alone, including arms sales, stockpile drawdowns, and munitions like 2,000-pound bombs. This figure is considered incomplete due to limited transparency. |

20 billion? It’s way more than that. It’s over 300 billion for the past few decades. Just Google it. |

They don't owe that money back. It's their return on investment via spending by AIPAC and other lobbyist groups. |

Even if their ROI was 1,000%, the excess is measured in HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. |

| Good! Let the Zionist Project fight its own wars. I'm sure they can take a break from genocide and free up some soldiers. |
