Well... that's 92% of the answer to Al-Sayed question. There are other benfits as well.
👫"Honey, did you know that the money we send to Israel actually comes right back to us?” Husband: "No." Wife: “Yeah. Israel has to buy American equipment with the money, so it creates tons of jobs." * Israel is required to spend approximately 92% of its regular U.S. military financing on American-made equipment and services. Israel Saves American Taxpayers Money! For example: 1. The Money Comes Right Back to America: Yearly, America sends $3.8 billion dollars to Israel. This money is falsely described as “foreign aid.” In reality, the money is neither “foreign aid,” nor a handout. In fact, almost all of the money that is given to Israel is immediately returned to America. Nearly all of the money has to be spent to purchase only US-made military equipment or systems. In reality, the money sent to Israel is actually invested into the American economy. The money invested into the American economy turns into mega-billions of dollars in returned value. 2. A professional auditing reveals that the $3.8 billion dollars which is given to Israel is actually a high-yield investment. The investment provides the US with an unprecedented Return-on-Investment (R-o-I). In addition, the investment serves as an irreplaceable financial multiplier for the US homeland and national security. 3. Israel is constantly under attack from Arab countries and Islamic terrorists. This reality means that Israel has the most real combat experience. When America sends new military equipment to Israel, then the equipment is tested in real life. America finds out if our equipment is effective or not. 4. The US maintains its military bases in Western Europe at an annual cost of $35 billion. This cost included maintaining 80,000 American troops. At the same time, the annual US investment in Israel is $3.8 billion with no large stand-alone US military bases, yielding to the US an annual Return-on-Investment of well over 1,000%. 5. Israel is constantly under attack. Israel uses American-made fighter jets in real combat, including strikes against military targets. By sending American equipment to Israel, the equipment becomes a battle-tested laboratory. This yields daily lessons and improvements, with equipment operations, maintenance, repairs, mechanical and technological. All of these tests are shared with the US manufacturers. These lessons are integrated, by the US manufacturers, as modifications and upgrades in the next generation of the US military products. This process saves the US many years of research and development. Real combat saved America 10-20 years in the case of the F-35, F-16 and F-15 each. All of these tests amount to mega-billion dollars in savings and returns. Meaning, the total research and development cost of the F-35 was $55 billion, so imagine how much is saved by testing with Israel. @cenkuygur

What’s the one AI agent you’d keep running 24/7 if it could do real work for you? Not “help me brainstorm.” Actual tasks: research, email, monitoring, coding, shopping, whatever. Drop the job + why. I’ll steal the best ones.

Why only Gaza is "genocide"?
Current deaths in conflicts around the world. That one at the bottom is the "genocide" the whole world must stop by ruining Ed Sheeran tours and abusing Jewish kids in Golders Green.

Do youthink we are about to see a shift from 3% real GDP growth to 7-9% GDP growth?
125 years of 3% real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. Cathie Wood believes Tesla and SpaceX could help push it to 7-9%. What’s behind this unprecedented shift 👇

Do you think it was a faulty circuit breaker? Or was it because stocks crashed by 30% due to socialist Lula winning the elections and the trading "had" to be stopped? What's your theory?
JUST IN: 🇧🇷 Brazil's stock market suspends trading due to circuit breaker.
