Original Note:
No US taxes were wasted. $15 bn worth military equipment aid has generated $51 bn weapon sales abroad. All additional non-weapon aid goes to American companies in the form of government contracts, which means that the US government is throwing money at the American economy. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/3830532-u-s-arms-sales-boom-in-2022-due-to-war-in-ukraine/
