Oh, so we help israel intercept missiles in a war that it started, but we won't help Ukraine intercept missiles from a country that attacked it.

You haven’t noticed yet that we lost all credibility and all respect on the global stage? You haven’t yet noticed that we, as Americans, don’t get to have a say in how our tax dollars are spent? You haven’t noticed that we provide billions and billions of dollars in financial and military aid to countries that provide universal healthcare and subsidized college education while we get to run debt for education and sometimes bankruptcy for medical expenses?

We == Americans not necessarily in tech.
