Which 2 Nations Received 75% Of America's $5.9 Billion Foreign Military Financing?
According to the U.S. State Government 2013-2015 Foreign Assistance report, an estimated $5.9 billion was spent on foreign military funding alone in fiscal year 2014. This is equivalent to 17% of the estimated $35 billion spent on total global aid discussed in our previous article. U.S. foreign military aid to countries ranged from $200,000 to $3.1 billion. Of the top 10 recipients, two countries received 75% of the $5.9 billion.
Take a look on the map below to see who is getting the most foreign military financing from the U.S....
Below is a ranking of the the top 10 recipients and their respective world regions.
-
Israel: $3.1B (Middle East)
-
Egypt: $1.3B (Africa)
-
Iraq: $300M (Middle East)
-
Jordan: $300M (Middle East)
-
Pakistan: $280M (Asia)
-
Lebanon: $75M (Middle East)
-
Philippines: $50M (Asia)
-
Colombia: $29M (Latin America)
-
Tunisia: $20M (Africa)
Research conducted by the World Bank shows that the on average, countries spend approximately 2.2% of GDP on the military. Israel, Iraq, Jordan and Pakistan allocated above average spending towards their military in 2014. The data shows that each country spent approximately 5.2%, 4.3%, 3.5%, and 3.4% of GDP, respectively, on military expenditures. These countries are also part of the top 5 recipients of U.S. foreign military financing, totaling $4.0 billion.
Funding by World Region
Approached from a different perspective, approximately 87% of the $5.9 billion was distributed among two of five world regions. The Middle East tops this list, followed by Africa.
-
Middle East: 64%
-
Africa: 23%
-
Asia: 7%
-
General Programs: 4%
-
Europe: 1%
-
Latin America: 1%
An interesting point to note is that while the Latin American region received only 1% of foreign military financing, Colombia made the top 10 list with $28 million. The second highest recipient in Latin America was Mexico, with $7 million of U.S. funding. On the other hand, Africa received roughly 23% of military aid; however, five African countries made the bottom of the list, receiving $200,000 each (Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea, Botswana, Tanzania, and Uganda). Of the 74 countries that received U.S. foreign military funding, not all received aid in proportion to its geographic region.
Past, Present, and Future
Allocation of foreign military financing may differ over time as the social, economic, and political climate changes across the globe. In the past three years; however, foreign military financing has been relatively consistent, with $5.7 and $5.9 billion distributed in 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $5.6 billion requested in 2015. Additionally, Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, and Pakistan made the top 5 in all three years, receiving roughly the same amount of aid year over year. It is difficult to predict future foreign military financing allocations; however, if remaining consistent, five countries will receive approximately 89% of these distributions, leaving 69 other countries to receive the remaining 11% of funds

I remember Ron Paul calling for an end for all foreign military aid.
For his trouble he was excluded from the only gop debate hosted by an ethnic or relious group.
http://www.antiwar.com/henderson/?articleid=11920
Ron Paul has been the only adult in the room, being mocked by the children for decades. All he has ever done is tell the truth and accurately predict the future. Blasphemous truth-teller in an Empire of Lies.
Speaking of military spending, I really get annoyed with the amount of promoting of the military that goes on during a sports game. I’ve often wondered if there was some sort of kickbacks going on. Turns out there is. Just since 2012, the Pentagon has signed 72 contracts with teams in the NFL, MLB, and the NHL amounting to $9 million of taxpayer money. As if these organizations needed any more money!

wow, that's almost 20 percent of the nyc HOLIDAY bonus pool
......which should also be classified as foreign aid
The Jewish Empire will be built off the backs of those Europeans whose backing was never given, but taken by threat of terrorism.
The threat of Communist revolt or it's alternative nuclear annihilation is how they will coerce you.
BULLSHIT. Where is Saudi Arabia?
that's a very good question, I call bullshit with you ,,and no mention from the tylers on this
US contractor detained in Yemen deadJohn Hamen, a US contractor who was arrested by Houthi militia in Sanaa airport last month is dead, the US State Department has announced. The father of seven was employed as a for a company that manages the UN office inside the country, and was reportedly detained after arriving in a United Nations aircraft alongside another man on October 22. It is unclear how he died.

Netanyahu is seeking to up the figure Israel receive to $5 billion. And he will get it because he, in his own words, is the controller of the US regardding the Middle East.

I love Israel. In fact, I wish I could meet a sexy Zionist lover. I'm glad we're giving them our money. They need it more than us.
Thanks Jews! [Public Service Announcement]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMniFQCyqTg
Do you know all of the great things that Jews are doing for you?
merely the direct foreign aid
much more is hidden in other budgets, some even rerouted via government R&D of US companies that have deliberately move US jobs to....Israel
Saudi Arabia is too busy infiltrating our government and paying off our government officials
This shit needs to stop. We're borrowing (from China) and then turning around and giving it away as aid in one form or another. Even the humanitarian aid can be used for military purposes, it's all fungible, doesn't matter where the money goes to, no one tracks where it goes or what it's used for.
In the case of foreign military 'aide', the money goes directly to the US arms manufacturers (Lockheed Martin, Nortrop-Grumman, Raytheon, whatever). The planes, tanks, bombs and bullets then go to the recipient regimes.
Sweet deal for the merchants of death.
watching the Presidential debates... on both sides... if Americans respond or believe what these morons say... then
Americans are fucking insane.
USA is the enemy... needs to be destroyed.
Just need its head cutting off, the rest can heal once the tumor is removed.
Imagine for a moment if the completely corrupt bought-and-paid-for senate and congress were wiped out en masse through some natural disaster - like a fissure opening up under DC, maybe? (no worries - Obama would be quite safe out on some golf course).
Would the American people have the collective will to reset the whole corrupt edifice of government and start from fresh - more akin to that which Jeffereson had in mind? Or would the neocons retain control? Just not sure I see that much collective will to restore the constitution in the age of the Kardashian.
Not only are we funding their wars, but we are shedding our childrens blood for their purposes too.
But don't look here, look over there at that big scary mooslim boogieman that is sure to scare the beejesus out of the stupid goyim. Stupid silly goyim, works every single time.
Israelhole. A black hole for your taxes on your sweat and labor. Netanyahoooo and Kissinger thank you
Israhell is Mordor. Israelis are Orks
Why am I not surprised it's Jizzreal? I'm sure CIAIPAC keeps it that way.
Israel, has the honour IMHO of being both the biggest welfare and terrorist state in the world, if not out right by capita for sure.
What else would you expect for the most manipulative, conniving, thieving, warmongering, genocide people the world has ever seen.
Let's discuss "indirect" funding through articles of incorporation and graft.
#1 Fucking Israel, home of the Rothschild banking cartel and duel citizenship to 90% of Congress/Senate & American Government, movies, and news. Why am I not surprised?
We pay Egypt not to attack Israel, so effectively Israel gets 75%.
we need a new holocaust now
What you mean a real one ?
ok
There is a holocaust in the ME, directed against arabs, in order to give Israel its coveted lebensraum.
A broke Amerika handing out war money! Beautifulllll!
US prints ponzi dollars to bribe all.
End the US dollar.. it's the root of all evil.. this will End the CIA and all of shit from this rougue state USA..
Playing Emperor is not cheap.
If Israel has the best lobbyists, it's only fair that they get the lion's share, and the pharao gets enough to keep the lobbyists happy. You get what you pay for and if you want to get something you pay.
You forgot about the $7 trillion or so drained out of the Social Security Trust Fund for the MIC and warmongering that served no national purpose. Other than to allow Israel to play in the sandbox with the U.S. military toyset that is...
what is MIC?
Men In Charge = MIC.
If you don't want to be Rayciss, Sexist, or onery, It's Military Industrial Complex = MIC
Back to my beer, Bitchez.
Military Industrial Complex
Murderous Israeli Cunts?
I would vote for Russia and China to take over Israel and USA... and pound some sense in them.
russia is donating more to israel than many people imagine
majority of israels jews are of russian descent
they own major cooperations in russia while family is living in israel
Most Russian jews and bandits who went their so they wouldn't be put in jail in Russia... Russia is happy to be rid of them. They understand that Lenin and Trotsky were jews...
Red Mafia is no joke.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semion_Mogilevich
But theres no way all those Russians who went to Israel are Jews. Russia no doubt has a fair amount of agents, but in large part documents were forged to enable Russians to move to Israel for the much better social welfare and job opps, especially due to the financial rape of Russia (and Ukraine) by... Well you know who.

http://www.counterpunch.org/2011/03/04/how-harvard-deep-sixed-its-russia...
"went their so they wouldn't be put in jail in Russia"
exactly!! also something around 100.000 criminal jews went to england/london too and received asylum
btw a lot of jews returned to russia i frogot the number but its quite big
also a huge amount of jews from east europe do not practice judaism in israel and many are christains
as horscaulk pointed it out they just fled communism and the 90s
Hahahahtroll fool yourself. Russia unlike US doesn't donate free money to Israeli govt. Only US does that let alone shielding tjeir warcrimes in UN. Put of 7.2 million 1.2 million jews are of russian descent. 12.5% roughly. Get your facts straight spinoff
a) in israel around 900.000 million jews are from russia
http://s28.postimg.org/daa5hiyml/sfasfawfwfwfwff.png
thats the biggest stake coming from a single country
b) russia donate money indirecly
c) russia is buying all the crap produced in israel
d) there are not 7.2 million jews in israel but around 6 million and yes we are talking about israel
where is the difference of giving money to a country direclty or indirectly - the result is the same
and shut up you stupid wannabe smart faggot you dont get a single fact right but try to correct others. maye you should stop with the alcohol
4 upvotes of your trash are the proof of zero hedges readers majority are at least same retard as you
It's really sad that those folks listed above played in the sand, while soldiers of all stripes bled into the sand.
That's what the RED in The Great Red Dragon means.
The $3.1 billion figure for aid to Israel is understated, true value for 2014 was $3.8 billion counting the extras they get. Total since 1948 about $137 billion:

Why the Fuck does Israel get money from the states!
Israel owns and runs USA.. and they get a lot more than 3 billion... they own almost everything... why do you think there was a holocaust?
I agree with your post except the Holocaust part, it doesn't seem to have happened after all...
"These Holocaust deniers are very slick people," says Steven Some, Chairman of the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education, "They justify everything they say with facts and figures." (Newark Star-Ledger, Oct 23, 1996, p 15)
Holocaust Revisionism in One Easy Lesson - Find out why people who actually bother to read revisionist literature almost always become revisionists themselves
No, 6 trillion innocent Jewish habadashers were brutally skinned to provide the cloth for the Nazi ponchos. Denying this is illegal and violators will be prosecuted.
/sarc
Truth really is that the Holocaust is a massive scam. I spent a month researching it and it really is the case that this event is a colossal string of lies and half truths.
The sickest part is that the crimes of the communists (the leadership largely dominated by Jews) and Allied 'heroes' in the skies were thrown back on Germany.
As for the Two Minutes of Hate videos on the History Channel... yeah Einsatzgruppen did execute thousands of people in the East- ones who were fifth columnists who would snipe at uniformed soldiers or blow up their materials. Geneva Conventions absolutely allow for reprisals to discourage such tactics.
The notions of round the clock industrial human ovens or sealed gas chambers are excretions of a rich imagination on the part of the Jews and Allies.
You see, 'everyone wins' with this lie. The present world order gets to pose as the hero and the Jewish establishment gets endless sympathy (and cold hard cash).
Because they are majority shareholders in Federal Reserve and majority bondholders in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORP. You are a subsiduary of Israel,s owners . They own you basically, USA is just another plantation complete with Birth Certificated and Bonded debt slaves
Justdudes, a lot of people cannot comprehend what you just said - the truth!
" They own you basically, USA is just another plantation complete with Birth Certificated and Bonded debt slaves"
Now can we talk about immigration?
And why doesn't the US pay me to buy their stuff too!
I could use some free money to buy cars, or real estate or guns is they prefer!
Looking at the European area. Join NATO and enjoy money from the US taxpayers (debt)!
These US politicians are stupid...
Paul said no fly over Iraq not Syria .. Trump didn't know that China is not in TPP..
all didn't know that Putin is the President of a nation who would fight to the death to defend it and have enough nukes to cremate USA..
Funny.
The IDF never seems to join America in front line battle.
Goy work.
The IDF never seems to join America in front line battle.
Their view is that all gentile = filth. They would never fight alongside you. They will architect the war, finance it, then fool the goy to send you and your kids to die for their shithole state.
That's because there's been no front line battles with women and kids.
+1000 lol
I wonder how long the IDF could hold out if that US support was withdrawn for some reason; like someone staged a terror attack, pinned it on Mossad, and then used it as justification for severing ties forever.
THE TRUTH IS ANTI-SEMITIC!
And the REAL Overlords of the USSA get everything, all the time, it was like when the bailouts to the Banksters on the Upper Eastside of Manhattan, real estate SKYROCKETED in Tel Aviv.
This is from 2003, the gentleman who wrote it then died at the age of 40 from a "heart attack" perhaps.
The cost of Israel to the American taxpayer at that time was $3 TRILLION!
"I've never seen a President — I don't care who he is — stand up to them. It just boggles the mind. They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going on all the time. I got to the point where I wasn't writing anything down. If the American people understood what a grip these people have got on our government, they would RISE UP IN ARMS. Our citizens certainly don't have any idea what goes on."

There is no hope for USA ,,, need revolution now...
Israel USA... same thing... fuck one means fuck the other... both joined at the hip...
time for destruction of Rome
Isn't this a repeat?
And yes, all military aid to foreign governments---including Israel, who can take care of herself---should end.
Difference is the banksters still owe Israel USD500 billion for property stolen or destroyed during the war, enough to cover her national debt and set her up in a small sovereign wealth fund. You know, like the goatfuckers in Riyadh have, never mind that the goatfuckers did precisely shit to earn it.
The charity from Uncle Sugar is an insult. It doesn't even cover the interest on the debt Israel racked up having to arm herself to the teeth. If you're serious about defending the homeland from enemies sworn to destroy it, and not just in photo-ops and security theatre, it costs a fucking fortune.
We owe the Muslims of all races two things. Diddley and squat.
And Bo's dead.
Why is the US giving Vietnam $14 million year and yet, the US can't normalize relations with Cuba? The priorities are all screwed up.

Black Lives Matter.
I think they are making a good investment
In Israel that is
you get a lot more bang for your buck with their technology
ya'll can have the rest of them
not wise to waste money on future terrorists
Their stolen technology. Stealing describes the Israel economy. The Home or the Rothschild Suds & Blood-O-Mat. Own it you coward.
not wise to waste money on future terrorists
Why waste money on future terrorists, when you are heavily invested in the largest existing terrorist state - Israel. If it wasn't for the misinformed joe six pack and his tax dollars, Israel wold not exist. America's largest welfare state.

Where military aid is invested

vs.
where US troops are on the ground
http://public.tableau.com/profile/brendan8450#!/vizhome/AmericanEmpire/Dashboard2
There is very little overlap. Foreign miltary aid is just a means to expand the empire in a cheaper fashion than "boots on the ground."
Fuck Israel.
And its little hasbaratrolls, too.
Editor-
1) Any comments calling for a holocaust should be referred to proper judical channels for racial incitement and promptly removed from your website. The level of antisemitism of certain contributors is beneath any comment.
2) On a factual basis,
a)the military aid Israel recieves needs to all be spent in the USA...so its actually a handout to the military industrial complex
b) Israel is the only democracy in the middle east and the only place where the US can operate its military bases freely -- the saudis threw teh americans out on 24 hour notice--now they are back--but thats not a place you can count on
c) The US military subsidy via foreign aid actually allows for many programs to become cheaper as minimum volumes are assured to the defense contractors
d) The US receives more from Israel in return than any other country on the aid list (actually could argue that the taxes generated from Microsoft, Intel, Google, etc. patents exceeds military aid by quite a bit.
e) The military aid actually hurts certain Israeli industries who cant compete with US government grants and causes a certain level of unemployment
Its not a free lunch my any standard, but a symbiotic relationship that has many more advantages than disadvantages to both parties.

The $1.3B that goes to Egypt is actually to benefit Israel too. It all ties together, Syria, the whole middle east, the war machine, the banking cartel, all of it. That's why whenever the latest usa puppet prez decries some atrocity committed by izreel you know it's a lie. they love the atrocities, they foment the war and the terror, and we all get to pay for it.
Israel gets at least 1 trillion dollars per year from the US. Probably 6 trillion all told.
Israel absolutely owns the U.S. Congress.
The head of AIPAC (American Israeli Policy Action Committee), Steven Rosen, famously held up a dinner napkin a few years ago at a party saying that he could have the signatures of 70 Senators on the napkin within 24 hours. And he said this to a New York magazine reporter.
Israel bribes our CONgressman who turn around and give them back billions in free money. The U.S. also pays the rouge state Egypt to be "nice" to Israel.
We fight wars for Israel, they bribe our Congress, and we have them taxpayer dollars.
Israel in NOT America's friend. They are our worst enemy and we need to treat them as such.
FUCK Israel.

THANKS for not disapointing!!!
I know you are all losing sleep over the fact that we gave Israel $3B, why not redirect your energy to the real criminals that spent 20,000% more than than on the militarization of this country? The US military budge was $600,000,000,000 in the same year.
This article is a red herring. Eat your gruel you proles...
Waaaah
Waaaah
How dare anyone criticize Israel ever or Jews ever
Waaaaah

you.
You have a peculiar definition of criticism. Last I checked mindless slurs and calls for killing a people-group wasn't actually criticism.
I've got no issues with criticism of people or governments. I think that being critical and vocal are absolute necessities in the fight to keep the truth from being rewritten.
You assume a lot. Hope that works out for you..
Vietnam used to get much much more !
So why doesn't Britain get anything ? The US should meet payroll costs at least.
