it's definintely higher than that, there's plenty of americans who support israel but don't want their taxpayer money being spent on things outside the US
indeed...
"Democracy"
- some restrictions may apply
That's too bad, because the 1% that most politicians listen to and/or take bribes from is very strongly for it, so, ya know...
a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie
Are there numbers for other places that USA is sending "aid" to? Taiwan? Ukraine?
There are some numbers, here are some numbers for Ukraine https://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-233b-in-ukraine-aid/
Taiwan also gets billions every year, although on a smaller scale https://apnews.com/article/china-taiwan-us-lai-congress-funding-8571139dd8cd1d069a53cfebaccf99c6
And then there's Japan, occupied Korea, Philippines, and so on. US empire is spread pretty thin at this point.
Oh I meant the number of people against it, but these are also helpful, thanks
Taiwan's a bit harder to find, but there was a recent poll conducted regarding whether people think the war in Ukraine should end
Thanks!
