Multiple million donations only, the bigger the better.

No takers?

Well, those weapons of Mass Destruction (for overseas use) don't grow on trees, so the taxpayers will need to suffer some more.

But that has been the American Disease for a long time, impoverished citizens by the millions, health care and education underfunded, simply because the Military Industrial Complex, the one created during WW2, was never disbanded and grew instead, and now needs to be fed.

Other countries seem to have a different approach.
Never got into the 'We must prepare for the next glorious World War!' mindset.
Yeah, those so called horrible 'socialist' countries.
