minus-squareS_204@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down4·2 年前What % 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-up1·2 年前Apparently 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.
