    Since ‘48, we’ve sent over 158 billion in aid- without adjusting for inflation.

    It’s more than all other countries combined- including Ukraine.

    Even that 2 billion could go a very long way to helping.

      You’re right, it could.

      In fact, the US could fund a few wars and conflicts, end homelessness, implement socialized healthcare and fund the world’s best public transit system with affordable high-speed trains between cities simultaneously.

      But they don’t because they don’t want to, not because they can’t.

        Eh, I’m a bit pessimistic about a 100% solution to it. Can’t save everyone… That’s not a reason to not do everything that can be done, but I just don’t think there will ever be an end.

        And I absolutely agree with how obscene it is

      Good thing it’s more than Ukraine too. Wouldn’t want any com block arms dealers mouths to go unfed.
