Answer: DESCRIPTIVE STATEMENT.

Explanation: A descriptive statement also known as a positive statement is a presentation of opinion or position of what "IS", "WAS", or "WILL BE", and contains no indication of approval or disapproval.

They are based on information supported by scientific experimentation or statistical analysis, involving testable observations made using the physical senses or using instruments which extend the senses.

Like in the Question, People believing that giving military aid to foreign government is largely based on statistical analysis and it expresses it's position as what "IS".
