Unlike the United States' publicly documented military aid to Ukraine, it was impossible to get the full details of what the U.S. has shipped Israel since last Oct. 7, so the $17.9 billion for the year is a partial figure, the researchers said.

They cited Biden administration "efforts to hide the full amounts of aid and types of systems through bureaucratic maneuvering."

It will happen regardless of who wins the election, because imperialism is bipartisan. And it’s not about Biden or Harris or Trump: the Republican and the Democratic candidates were always going to be supportive of imperialism. The Republican & Democratic political machines aren’t going to float anti-imperialists on the general election ballot.
