minus-square@S_204@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•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-square@HandBreadedTools@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•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.
