This is what we gave to Afghanistan last year. Yes the Taliban.
SIGAR’s accounting through mid-2025 breaks down roughly as:
$88.8 billion — security (including some counternarcotics)
$35.9 billion — governance and development
$7.1 billion — humanitarian aid
$16.4 billion — civilian operations
This is what we gave to Israel last year.
In fiscal year 2025 (October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025), the United States disbursed about $3.31 billion in foreign aid to Israel, according to https://t.co/v84P8Erw88 data compiled by Pew Research Center.
Of that total, roughly $3.306 billion (99.8%) was military aid and about $5.2 million was nonmilitary. That made Israel the second-largest recipient of U.S. aid that year, behind Ukraine (about $6.7 billion).
This matches the baseline under the 2019–2028 U.S.–Israel Memorandum of Understanding: $3.3 billion a year in Foreign Military Financing plus $500 million for joint missile-defense programs (Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow), or $3.8 billion annually. Statista and a Brown University Costs of War / Quincy Institute accounting put 2025 military aid in the same range (about $3.7–$3.8 billion). FY2025 was lower than FY2024, when supplemental wartime funding pushed totals much higher; the same Costs of War report estimated about $17.9 billion in the first year after October 7, 2023, and $3.8 billion in the second year.
Nearly all of this aid is grants that Israel uses mainly to buy U.S.-made weapons and services. Separate Foreign Military Sales notifications (for example, multi-billion-dollar munitions packages notified in FY2025) are purchase agreements, not additional free grants, though FMF often pays for them. Figures can differ slightly depending on whether the source tracks appropriations, obligations, or actual disbursements, and whether missile-defense money is counted in the same bucket.
And you want to cut Americans retirement benefit that BTW WE PAID FOR. At the point of a gun or jail. We had no choice but at least we would get it back. Along with exorbitant taxes that
@MattWalshBlog FU Matt. We paid into that system our whole lives and the politicians stole it. You sound like a Democrat. I want every penny plus interest. Or, cut the government in half, right now. Then I'll reconsider. Federal, state and local crooks. Half
@GenFlynn@realDonaldTrump Ya sure, the next shoe. I've been waiting for 25 years now. Remember Bill and Hillary? Nothing will happen, no one important will go to jail. American cities are dying along with America itself.
Lip service, lip service, lip service. You haven't put one politician in jail, when there are at least 1 thousand that should be. Starting with Clinton's, Bush's, Obama and Biden. Probably Trump too. You are all full of shit. You do nothing but talk about what you might do, but never do.
We have never been here before - this is outrageous. No wonder Minnesotta is in so much trouble. Vouching for 8 people? No ID required? What the hell. Well done to James O’Keefe & Cam Higby - hard to believe they pulled this off with that terrible accent! But such an important story. If you did not see it with your own eyes, you would struggle to believe this could be true. What happened to the constitutional standard for elections? Since elections are critical infrastructure this affects the entire government & should be treated as a national emergency.
Just an average Joe here, with a family and small business. Not really loving the subsidies that electric vehicles receive, which contribute, partially to Elon's success. That said Elon is the best. He's brilliant and he saved America and our right to free speech, amongst many other things. I'm so thankful that he's an American. We need many more like him. Thank you Elon.
@HawleyMO No way really. So this guy is in jail right? Of course not. Josh, get off your ass and put some of these politicians in jail. Without corrupt politicians this couldn't happen.
@ThomasSowell How did this guy, that seemed like a dolt at election time, become so full of wisdom years later. I love him. Not on everything but he's honest in his beliefs and just like old time Dems(JFK) that make sense. My hats off to Fetterman.
