The Biden administration says it's sending Ukraine another $725 million in weapons from its stockpiles, including missiles, drones and anti-personnel landmines, amid fears the incoming Trump administration could cut off military support to Kyiv. The announcement came as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz traveled to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where Scholz vowed to supply some $680 million in new military aid.



they are being sent decades old surplus equipment that they will have to payback when the war ends, the money was spent decades ago and instead of old stuff being decommissioned it's being used against americas adversary while we incur no loss of life or damage to property on our end.

This is the important distinction.

The weapons were not made with Ukraine in mind and have already been paid for, likely from a previous administration or for a different conflict.
In other words, the money has already been spent, it's surplus shït that [ostensibly] hasn't been used yet.

You got me. A lot less embarrassing than welching on a bet tho. lol

And somehow, I'm not embarrassed at all. Imagine that.

Nazis are killing Marxists and vice versa. Nowhere did I say that it is a bad thing—ever! Just for the record, am I not allowed to be hyperbolic on a comedy forum, just as you’re allowed to be a condescending douchebag? Anyway, back to my point… But using America’s money? That is the problem!

@Carl Tethers

america's money was already used, the equipment already paid for. instead of decommissioning it because they have a shelf-life, other countries like the U.S, Australia & etc found it cheaper and more beneficial to give it to ukraine.

using americas money weapons to destroy the military of americas longtime adversary.

This isn’t true.

One example is long-range missiles. American military officers are saying that assisting Ukraine and Israel (and fighting the people of Yemen) have created a critical shortage.

America Isn’t Producing Enough Missile Engines—And That’s a Terrifying Crisis

Ukraine and Israel are weakening America
