And Ukraine aid is not really the dollar figure we see in the press


We’re transferring old military technology from storage for their use on the battlefield — it’s stuff we don’t even want in many cases.

Then some bean counter attaches a value to those assets (perhaps depreciated and perhaps the full acquisition cost originally) and voila! We’ve “given” Ukraine however many billion dollars. Then we also get to laugh as our 1970s and 1980s equipment is more reliable and capable than the “current gen” Russian stuff.
