We gave them stuff we were getting rid of anyway. Stuff that was about to reach its expiration date.

Not to mention wasting ammunition on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

Excellent breakdown.

Just like milk, weapons have best by dates. By giving almost expired stuff we did lose the recycling value, but we also gained the decommission costs.

Note that Ukraine isn’t the only such nation that these people absolutely hate. Denmark comes to mind

Whatever. I defer to your superior knowledge.

Only the maga idiots will regurgitate that lie!

We are all Ukrainans. 🇺🇦 We're Here With You All The Way. Fight Fascism With Everything You Have. Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy will Prevail. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 #Freedom #Liberty #Democracy #Ukraine

US spending for Ukraine were actually a "hidden" US rearmament push. It invested heavily in production capacity. If US had suddenly started ordering high numbers of munitions, adversaries like China could've/would've felt threatened. But if it was all "for Ukraine", then the balance was preserved.

Thanks for speaking up! Hopefully now with the election results in Hungary, Russia will soon be defeated. It seems like he now wants a truce!

Guess what iceberg president has beneath him ? The military/industrial complex. Trump is just the tip sticking out of the water. This is an attempt to jumpstart a war economy. By making war, you're going to need resupplies. Of both hardware and people...

... in order to absolutely minimize chances of shoot downs/captures which would freak out the freak-in-chief. But they expended our credible deterrent to China in the process and exposed the overall shallowness of our magazine/inventory of the top tier weapons. It's just a clusterfuck all around /2

Ales perfect sense … and I do not doubt that Hegseth ever gave it a thought.

Impossible for him to tell the truth

Thanks for clarifying this point. I still hate you were a Republican but tx

Who’s next?

So how complete is your ideological shift exactly? Is it just Trump that you're disavowing or also his lackeys in whatever govt job they hold? What about GWB and the torture prisons? Romney & his 47% remark? Reagan and Iran/Contra?

Piggy has to help his puppetmaster

Our truth-telling

Jump in and hold office again please sir, we need real patriots.

A prologue to World War III? IF strategy is to Blockade Iran, this isn’t being done b/c of Caspian Sea trade with its ally Russia; THEN Ukraine, with its long range drones, is our natural ally re a Blockade of Iran’s Caspian Sea ports & trade with Russia. This of course would lead to ESCALATION.

They are LIARS !!!!!!!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

100% Ukraine 🇺🇦 got our excess old stuff.

The items sent to Ukraine were about 40 yrs old and due to be replaced. They were sitting in the desert and in a warehouse. They were either going to be dismantled and trashed or given to Ukraine. The cost attached which the US had to pay for anyway was put into jobs and new equipment for the US.

Brave people. So damn courageous!

sadly, you are right

IMO, Trump's war on Iran used up our weapons stockpiles.

You CANNOT BELIEVE One Word coming out of Orange Hitler’s mouth or Anyone in his Administration & the Congressional ReTHUGliCONS!!

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I don't believe anything that comes out of this administration.

Not a chance there is anything truthful coming from this admin.

Even if it did deplete our stock, it should have been replenished. Only a fool goes to war without allies , pisses off NATO and doesn’t have a stockpile of ammunition. Backing Ukraine was and is the right thing to do .

Everything that has gone to Ukraine we were replacing and it saved us money. To destroy ammunition costs us millions we didn’t have to pay.

So it wasn't Biden?

What a moronic take This does not benefit you, at all 20+ trillions spend on Middle East wars: that's enough for 400M tiny houses You could have housed more than the entire US population using this money That's true for any war

And I assume our military has learned a lot of real combat info about drones etc

Yes 🙌 we know that they are always Lying 🤥 and America 🇺🇸 finished their weapons in an illegal war against Iran 👎

well if this admin would stop bombing everything they set eyes upon, we wouldn't be in this situation....

One for you @kateinkharkiv.bsky.social

Ukraine did not get Tomahawks.

Sub heading: Lifelong Republican upset everything he worked for came to fruition

You built this, Adam. Turns out, cheerleading a racist, misogynist agenda, has horrific consequences... Who knew?!

Yes.

Thank you Adam Kinzinger for being on Ukraine's side "only the truth will set you free".💙💛Slava Ukraini - Heroyam Slava!!

Going forward USA will miss a lot of deliveries. USA companies will be forced to refund a lot of PURL money.

I’ve heard lying described as a mental illness. Not dealing with reality.

I can never believe ANYTHING these people have said or will say in the future.

Watch Trump and his administration, blame Ukraine because they are running out of weapons.

I believe this war was beneficial to not only defense industry but also US military, We could give Ukraine our aging yet still able ammunition supply and restock with newer / better munitions with a longer shelf life. Ukraine was a proving ground for testing new things as well

Is it because of the war that isn’t a war waged by the Department of War from the Peace President, and the wastefulness of $1m warheads to fight drones? Because if so, we need better messaging that includes straight talk, not passive-aggression.
