A lot of the money for Ukraine is just the paper value some bean counter


Attributed to an old piece of military hardware we don’t even want anymore and needed a reason to replace. Then the money is spent hiring a US firm, who employs Americans, to build our military the replacement which makes our military stronger.

Is this magic? No, of course not. However, we happen to be at a place in time where we have an enormous stockpile of aging weapons systems that can help a democratic ally fight an autocratic invading enemy while modernizing our military. It’s not a ‘forever” solution, but it very much works for now.
