minus-squareS_204@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down4·1 year agoWhat % of Israel’s budget do you think the US gives them? Of that % how much do you think is tied to purchases of American weapons?
minus-squareHandBreadedTools@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoApparently the US gives military grants that amount to about 16% of Israel’s total military budget. That’s kind of a lot, if I’m reading it correctly.
