People often claim the US makes huge sacrifices for its allies. But here's the thing—that $3.8 billion aid package? Every single dollar gets spent buying American military hardware. So essentially, the money cycles right back into the domestic economy. It's not a giveaway in the traditional sense. The funds flow to US defense contractors, supporting American manufacturing and jobs. Whether this represents genuine investment or strategic spending—that's the real question worth asking. The numbers tell one story; whether it's actually aid or just subsidized exports tells another.
