The US is quietly arming Taiwan to the teeth
America is using its own money to send weapons to a place it officially doesn't recognise.

Is there any active or potential war the US isn't paying for?
The US is paying because it needs Taiwan. If Taiwan didn't have value for the US, it would have been overrun by China a decade ago
israel and ukraine as well. it's no coincidence that right next to a powerful country (or, in israel's case, a bloc of countries) that the US is unfriendly with there is a client state whose entire existence depends on Western funding.
It's not so much that the US needs Taiwan, Ukraine or Israel, it's that they oppose China, Russian and the middle east.
Dosen't the US need Taiwan for silicon manufacturing?
The bulk of the US economy is based on taking money from working people and then consolidating it to billionaires that run defense corporations. So "paying for" it's basically just an engine for making rich Americans more rich.
Are there any it hasn't?
kind of /s
If China invades Taiwan our entire economy will come to a screeching halt. Hence why America is interested.
If China wanted to invade, idk, Thailand, we'd just kind of shrug and say "Hey, don't do that."
Yes. Syria,
Yemen, Libya.Yemen: US funded, Saudi Led Anti-Houthi Rebels in Yemen.
The Saudis fighting with Hezbollah.Wait I think we did sell weapons to the Saudis lol. The conflicts in and around Turkey. Congress has [blocked arms deals to Turkey](blocked arms deals to Turkey), but Biden has tried to make it happen. We are arming Ukraine, but not arming other countries in the former Soviet bloc that would probably enjoy more independence from Russia right now. We're not arming Africa which aims to stop piracy, stop foreign boats from dragnetting their shores, and has some internal conflicts with governments and insurgents. We aren't arming Mexico to stop the drug cartels. (Although US citizens frequently arm the cartels).And don't worry, Europe has arms to replace now thanks to the Ukraine-Russia war. US Plans to Backfill the Donated Arms.
Yeah you can pretty much look up "US sends weapons to X" and get a positive result that we have indeed. We are also actively stopping Syria, Iran, Turkey, and Russia from arming more rebels whenever we can. US siezes Iranian Ammo, Sends to Ukraine.
Well, all those General Dynamics and Raytheon shareholders deserve maximum return on their investments, according to St. Friedman.
We dont arm the chimps when they go to war.
