You have a different perspective on what is going on. Sadly, those vehicles you mentioned are being processed through DLA to go to ranges throughout the US to be used as targets in our own exercises... Proxy wars are fought with what we wish to experiment with, and this is one of those. Kind of like we aren't pushing DU munitions to counter reactive armor on Russian tanks, etc. Why? We already know. Dude, turn the light on. Maybe things are different in West Jeff but there is a whole different reality happening globally. Though you may think we are giving the dregs of our arsenal to Ukraine, we are very much engaged in the R&D of this war and that is beyond the Buck Rogers that we know. Wake Up....this is not a hands-off war and there is more cash being spilled into that theater than you and I will ever know.Completely disagree. For 1/6 of the US yearly military budget the US has strengthen our own mikitaryv& the militaries of its NATO Allie’s. Example: US gives Ukraine a 25 year old Humvee that was used in Desert Storm and was in storage. Accounting wise, that cost is charged as replacement cost is it not? Thus the US military gets a new version of a humvee and US no longer has to store the old one at a nominal cost and more importantly it hopefully helps the Ukrainians send more Russians back to Russia in a body bag.
You mention in a prior post how “it’s funny that Democrats have become war mongers”. That maybe so but it’s also funny how some R’s have become isolationist/half pacifist.
As long as the Ukrainians wish to fight for their freedom, I’m 100% in support of providing them military assistance.
This is very much like divorce, child custody, court where one party will try to exhaust the resources of the other to give way. Once, America has been involved with this over the next five years at the tune of $1T, Americans will finally call no joy and what happens...Russia wins, much like Vietnam, without the American souls. Dude, proxy wars are not won on the battlefield, they are won in the bank account and nothing changes for us other than a larger debt. Hell, Vietnam is a tourist vacation now...WTF?
Take care of America and Americans first and allocate those funds for AMERICA. Please, don't give me we are fighting communism/socialism BS before it hits our shores, we have Democratic Socialist as elected officials...that ship has sailed and that war is long lost.
What benefit does Ukrainian sovereignty give to the US? Oil? Wheat? Regional stability? Hell Crimea went to Russia under Barry's reign and we didn't miss a beat. Remember Wilson and FDR were both isolationist...good democrats.
