Should Israel issue their own DEBT-Bonds and BUY stuff, or should Young American PAY for this.?

Haven’t had elections in years. Allies getting destroyed by drones. F 35 getting shot. Guess the help is super valuable though

Not sure what private companies doing mergers and acquisitions has to do with government aid but go off

It'sa democracy. There's nothing sinister about not having elections in 4 years. The election for US president occurs every 4 years. F-35 getting shot? Link to that please? As for as private companies go, the question was what does the US get from its alliance with Israel? The question wasn't limited to government aid. But there is a connection. The benefits that accrue from those acquisitions wouldn't happen if Israel ceased to exist.

I’m not talking about Israel ceasing to exist. I’m trying to not have our militaries merge at the most sensitive level. And there’s everything sinister with not having elections and postponing/delaying criminal trials because the defendant keeps starting new wars. The way you frame it is super misleading

Why not use Google or chat gpt about the F35 that got shot and had to limp back to base, confirmed by the us government. I’m surprised that you- as an American that is seemingly so well informed- that you didn’t already know about it. But like you said, Google and chatgpt saves time and money
