It's not really easy to calculate the bombs-to-aid ratio, because we collude in blocking the aid that we've paid for from getting to people

If I got my numbers straight, bombs and related items account for a quarter of US foreign aid.

I'm so old I remember there was a temporary pier that was sold as a way to get aid to Palestinians and it did nothing except enrich some defense contractors and be used as a staging ground for an IDF massacre before it was left to rot.
