And another question, a really good one. Why does America support Israel with military aid?

A lot of times when people say, why does America support Israel? They're not talking about all that cold strategic sense.

But it's very useful to America. Very nearly 100% of it, well into the high 90%, has to be spent in America.

and produce American jobs.

What is essentially a federal grant program to certain American manufacturers and certain

American companies.

The other point is America spends vast sums on foreign military aid and foreign protection of allies.

Huge sums, orders of magnitude more than the four billion it gives Israel.

It just doesn't spend them in cash.

So, for example, the United States

spends roughly $60 billion a year on defending Europe. And a great deal of it is in deployments,

which means it's not spent back in the American economy. It's spent in Europe. And those deployments
