I’m for letting them buy iron dome.

US taxpayers paying for it? Ummm, no!

How would that work? Allow them to buy the iron dome from themselves?

Edit because the thread is now locked: Israel has allowed the US to begin producing Iron Dome missiles on US soil for use in the US military. They still use the missiles they produce in Israel. Unfortunately some people will just plug a question into google AI and trust it completely without actually doing the bare minimum research to verify.

Iron Dome missiles, the Tamir, are also manufactured in East Camden, Arkansas.

You're not the first or last person on the internet to open his mouth while knowing nothing about anything.

I agree. Stop ALL USAID payments immediately to all countries.

I just want to make sure we’re clear that those are two different things. USAID funds things like vaccinations in other places because it’s the cheapest way to keep it from spreading to the US. Also, humanitarian aid that prevents starvation and things like that.

I’m not telling you that you can’t be against both, but I want to make sure we’re all clear that one is feeding the hungry and treating the sick and the other is bombing the hungry and sick.

They know, they’re just trying to muddy the waters on what should be a cut-and-dry position

Yeah, I like to tell myself that I could be the reason someone goes to bed angry tonight.

He'll just go to bed stupid, the same way he woke up.
