    Like 1% of our military budget and in return our military industry is putting highly skilled engineers back to work replacing our stockpiles and supply the countries that feel a need to up their defensive security capabilities in the wake of a return of war in europe.

      There are children buried under the rubble of a former apartment complex in Gaza City right now.

      It was destroyed by a “defensive”, American-made JDAM missile.

      How many more “defensive” weapons should we give them? $3.5 billion is enough to kill lots of children.

        This story? I’m having trouble looking for sources because Israel bombed an apartment literally next to it in 2021 🤠 (and by the way Hamas was known to be using that building, and they warned people to evacuate multiple times - according to whatever news article I read)

        yeah clearly JDAMs aren’t defensive, we’re supposed to be supplying Israel to defend itself… This is a more than fair complaint.
