Does this include giving them old equipment which they'd have to dispose of anyway? Because that's not exactly "spending". Some even say that it saves money because they have no disposal cost.

Hopefully Ukraine keeps “disposing” all of our ammunition in the general direction of the invaders.

Don’t forget that the old gear has to be replaced. That’s good American jobs right there.

It was going to be replaced regardless of Ukraine, that's the point. It was to be junked anyway.

I'm pretty sure the Abrams is made in Kentucky. Another big reason Moscow Mitch is on board with sending aid.

Work smart, not hard. That's still a winning argument for me
