the empire's goal appears to be lets give israel anything it wants no matter the cost;
From Grok
U.S. taxpayers are paying for the bombs. The $2.8 billion package is structured as a Foreign Military Financing (FMF) transaction: the U.S. government supplies the funds that Israel then uses to buy the munitions from American manufacturers.
This is the same mechanism used for most U.S. military aid to Israel, which already totals several billion dollars annually under existing agreements. The current planned transfer of 20,000 MK-84s, 20,000 BLU-117s, and 20,000 I-2000 penetrator warheads would be drawn from that aid pipeline rather than paid for out of Israel’s own budget.
Congressional notification is underway, but the financing arrangement itself is not in dispute across reporting from the Washington Post, Reuters, and other outlets covering the story today.
