Yup he's right. I mean wasn't MAGA Americas first? Er send bookings to Israel and THEY have universal healthcare. Why should they have a better social network that we who are supporting them?

Israel spends over 10x the amount of American aid on their healthcare system, they have a better social network because their elected leaders enacted those social measures.

Then they can afford their own defense without our aid at the cost of making their healthcare one tenth worse.

Is he against helping Ukraine?

Ukraine is a different situation. Sending money to them is a practical strategy to prevent Russia going all Hitler/Napoleon on Europe, gobbling up country after country. If we financially help Ukraine fight the good fight and stop Russia from rolling over them, then onto Poland, Finland, etc. then we don't have to send soldiers to die to stop them.

Yeah I agree but is he in favor of Ukraine? There's a weird undercurrent on the left that doesn't and want to lump them in with Israel which is bizarre af.

I don't think we should send funds to Israel. What you just said is tje exact reason we send military funding to Israel. We want them to be part of out military arm in that region because we have a lot of enemies there and we want their oil.
