From the New York Times, that came with today's papers, and this still showed??? Oh yeah, the U.S. IS, the BIGGEST ARMS DEALER of the whole wide, world, making it RICH, selling the weapons to fuel to the "conflicts" (that's how they'd, "downgraded" things in the world) that's currently going on, globally right now, from the Front Page Sections…
In the fall of 2016, the Obama administration sealed a major military agreement with Israel that committed the United States to giving the country $38 billion in arms over ten years.
"The continued supply of the world's most advanced weapons technology will ensure that Israel has the ability to defend itself from all threats," President Obama said.
At the time, the agreement was uncontroversial. It was a period of relative calm for Israel, and few officials in Washington expressed concern about how the U.S. arms might one day be used.

Now, that military aid package, which guarantees Israeli $3.3 billion per year to buy weapons, along with an additional $500 million annually for missile defenses, has become a flashpoint for the Biden administration. A vocal minority of lawmakers of Congress backed by liberal activists are demanding that President Joe Biden restrict or even halt arms shipments to Israel because of its military campaign in the Gaza Strip.
Biden has been sharply critical of what he on one occasion called "indiscriminate bombing" in Israel's war campaign, but he has resisted placing limits on U.S. military aid.
The United States and Israel had tight military relations for decades, stretching across multiple Democratic and Republican administrations. Israel has purchased much of its critical equipment from the United States, including fighter jets, helicopters, air defense missiles, and both unguided and guided bombs, which had been dropped in Gaza. Legislation mandates that the U.S. government help Israel maintain force superiority—or its "qualitative military edge"—over other Middle Eastern nations.
The process of arms delivery to Israel is opaque, and the pipeline for weapons to the country is long. The United States has sent tens of thousands of weapons to the country since the October seventh killings by Hamas attackers, but many were approved by Congress and the State Department long ago and funded with the money mandated by the Obama-era agreement.

Biden has the power to limit any foreign arms deliveries, even ones previously approved by Congress. Far from cutting off Israel, however, he is pushing a request he made shortly after the October 7th attacks for fourteen billion dollars in additional arms aid to the country and U.S. military operations in the Middle East. The money had been stalled in Congress amid disputes over Ukraine aid and U.S. border security and faces growing Democratic concern.
So, here's how, the BIG DADDY is, finally feeling the STRAINS, on itself, finally, as the weapons mass-produced, and sold to the warring countries, don't break even with the total amount of the costs of aid the U.S. is feeding to Ukraine and the Israeli-Hamas "cause". This is, totally, expected, because U.S. is a worldwide, well-known, MASS arms dealer, and now, after it'd tasted the sweet gains (in the massive dollars and cents) from selling the weapons that fueled to the wars outside of its territories, it's now, feeling the strains, and, as the people in the good ol' glory starting to live, BELOW the poverty lines (with the lower class completely, ELIMINATED, the middle class dropping down to the lower class, the upper declining into the middle), every single structure of the society, of the government is slowly, crumbling down. But hey, who cares, so long as we, uncle SAM, BIG DADDY, keeps on, making those, huge dollars from selling the weapons of mass destruction (tanks, machine guns, not the nuclear weapons, because we're saving those for ourselves), we'll be, a-okay. Besides, wars are a best way, to lift the country out of, that slippery slope we're, headed towards, as the country goes into, RECESSION!
We are all, A-O-K-A-Y, people…and THAT, would BE, the MINDSET to how U.S., viewed ALL the "conflicts" (see how they still, DOWNGRADED things, refusing to call these WARS, W-A-R-S???), that are happening here, there, and, everywhere right now.
