    Every dollar they can save by not spending on making US citizens lives better can be used to buy another missile or drone. The Ukrainian and Israeli armies have benefitted more from our tax dollars than US citizens have in recent times, it seems.

        Yes, stop eating avocado toast and start an arms production business by the bootstraps!

      I’m all for weakening our second biggest potential enemy, who got into their current situation through an act of baseless aggression, by spending tax money supplying high tech weaponry to an ally willing to spend it’s populations lives in defense of their country and ideals. That is a win-win.

      I’m not so much ok with spending tax dollars to support a genocide.

        Fair. I will agree that the tax dollars are most certainly better off going to Ukraine over Israel, at least morally speaking.
