I think your hot take regarding US military aid is a little simplistic.
Geopolitics and foreign policy are obviously super complex with trade agreements, intelligence-sharing, etc all part of give-and-take ledger between countries. I think something like 20+ countries sent troops to Afghanistan to help the US in its extremely unpopular war there, with many more countries allowing US military bases to be set up to assist in the logistics of those efforts.
It's all way too complicated for me to understand, but if Republicans find your post and all manage to agree on basing their policy on it then good luck to them.
