Nice ..but 14 mil is like..chump change no? Military-wise speaking.

Kind of depends. Rifle ammunition? Its a pretty nice amount. Mortar shells? That'll help. Artillery shells? Good, nice. Long range missiles? You get one. Or half.

But anyway, anything helps. Plus I'm pretty sure Japan has been focusing more on humanitarian aid.

Trump wants that increased to 1.5 trillion. That's about 3 million/minute. So less than 5 minutes.... For Einstein (relativity.)
