I read it as 208 Billion and was like what the fuck
I mean they can’t be far off from that already right? Didn’t they just give them like 70 billion dollars of shit
Unironically, if anyone want to effort post a little, what’s the total at this point? Like compared to what did Iraq and Afghanistan cost?
It’s not close, what was spent on Iraq and Afghanistan is counted in the trillions.
Yeah, we’re not even close
Looks to be around 28-ish billion including this?
Iraq and Afghanistan was about 2.2. trillion upfront, 6.5 trillion in interest (as of 2021), which aligns with a Brown University piece that cites the Cost of War project
I had to look up how zeros was in trillion. Just…
absolutely fucking mind blowing sums of money. Well spent. I’m actually impressed.Used to be a ticker website actively tracking the costs constantly, I can’t remember the name offhand; it’s probably long gone
Was very insane to watch and think about
When you can’t feed your population but can destroy another one
$20Bn is what? 4 planes, a weeks worth of iron dome missiles, 4-person weeks of McKinsey consultants, and a dozen APCs?
But keep voting blue for harm reduction I guess
They need to put a gun into their own mouths to reduce further harm at this point

According to some very rough maths;
With a military budget of 849.8 billion dollars and a population of 336,917,624, the U.S. government is spending around $2500 per U.S. citizen this year.
The population of Israel is 9,842,000, meaning that this one $20 billion dollar transfer is equivalent to $2032 per Israeli.
