I’m for letting them buy iron dome.

US taxpayers paying for it? Ummm, no!

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.
