Ukraine has been left exposed on the front lines — running out of ammunition and men — while its energy system now faces an onslaught that is exposing its depleted air defenses.
This is actually a fair question. To answer it fairly, wars are extraordinarily expensive.
Remember in the first Captain America movie, how Cap starts off as a showman, trying to sell war bonds to the American public? This bit of the movie is rooted in real history, the government actually did that, just to raise money to help pay for WW2. War bonds are basically just savings bonds, where the govt goes to its citizens and says “give me $100 now to help pay for the war, and we’ll pay you back with interest in a few years”.
Israel has fewer borrowing opportunities than the massive US did, though, so it’s a little harder.
Even Russia’s war, relying on huge backstocks of Soviet equipment, is very expensive, and they saved up a huge amount of money over many years to be able to do what they are doing right now.
Regardless of level of need, they did. They began the war with a gigantic war chest saved up. Hard to say what its at now, just about no level of income can pay for the level of expenditure a large, full-scale modern war requires.
I don’t understand why Israel needs so much money. They’re not a poor country.

They don’t need to save up, they get billions from Europe for oil

They see they can get it, so they do.
Haha but why we send it?
Evangelicals think they need to trigger the apocalypse manually, part of it would involve all Jews returning to Israel.
Interesting. But where is “Israel”? It’s all made up. The Kingdom of Judah?
