Exactly the same is happening with Russia only they are not 'supported' by the US but by European countries with huge deals made over last few years.
In principal we are all indirectly financing their military & weapons as both countries only use the cash to invest in that unlike in healthcare etc etc.

It isn't really weird that Russia has most millionairs nowadays (almost all from oil industry), even outbeating China, Japan & the US when I can still remember the pictures thousands of people fighting over the last bread in some town...not too long ago...
