...my understanding of how these sales work is that we give these "partners" foreign aid equivalent to the amount of the desired sale and they use our money to buy the military equipment. Somehow (a miracle I assume) this is different from just giving it to them. My tiny mind does not grasp the subtleties.

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
