Good Afternoon Clo~!

Interesting numbers but wildly under counted.

I suspect strongly that Israel is more than ten billion dollars. That's not counting a few billion in aircraft, missile systems, and the occasional aircraft carrier between Tel Aviv and Haifa.

The Mediterranean is an American lake.
Israel sits at the junction of Eurasia and Africa, astride the largest petroleum reserves on Earth, at the Northern and Southern entrances to the Suez Canal.

Israel is an armed camp.
Our armed camp.

Seventy-five percent of U.S. foreign military financing goes to two countries

CNN)American taxpayers doled out $5.9 billion in foreign military financing in 2014, according to the government's Foreign Assistance report -- that's roughly the GDP of Somalia. But where did the money go?

To the usual suspects, mostly -- Israel ($3.1B) and Egypt ($1.3B) received roughly 75% of all foreign military aid money handed out by the U.S. last year.

This map from the cost-information website howmuch.net shows the relative size of countries based on how much U.S. military aid they receive.
