The State Department announced on Friday that it was planning to send Israel more than $6.5 billion of weapons aid that included Apache attack helicopters and combat land vehicles, bypassing a congressional review process.
The packages of four weapons systems had been under review for months by the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The State Department is supposed to wait for approval from the top two members on each of those committees before announcing the aid. But in this case, the department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio circumvented that norm.
It was the third time that the Trump administration has bypassed this part of the congressional process, called informal review, to send weapons to Israel.
The failure was of Americans to not stop trump. The democrats wouldn’t be as bad a the republicans, so it was pure dumbfuckery to not vote for them. Why didn’t Kamala appeal to every one of your wants? Sure it’s part because of donors; but also because any issue has potential voters on both sides. There was no selection of issue stances that would have garnered enough votes if people only voted if they agreed with all of them. And clearly enough Americans were (and apparently still are) unable to see the logic of voting for the better candidate even if not perfect.
Sure, Americans are definitely to blame. The Democrats are Americans, by the way.
