Also has this amazing comment:

Suggesting the defender in a war should just stop fighting, or that helping them is bad because if they did not have the ability to defend themselves, they'd quickly be unable to fight and the war would end with their defeat, is not anti-war. It is appeasement, and that is ultimately pro-war, because it creates a situation in which starting wars of aggression can benefit the ones who start them, which inevitably leads to more wars being started. To be against war, in the long term, one must support a situation in which starting wars is against the self-interest of those in the position to do so, and one of the clearest ways to do that is to try to ensure that those who begin wars of conquest or other such aggression, lose them.

    They are sending older, used equipment worth X billion which doesn't cost the US taxpayer a single cent. They might even save money as the government no longer has to pay for storage.

    cope

    Pure, weapon's grade, unequivocal LIB-tier nonsense.

    Incidentally, The Pentagon’s $35 Trillion Accounting Black Hole was also actually good because it was just all old used materials / requisitioned labor that we can just not keep track of anymore.

    Listen, you idiots. You fucking imbicles. When we say we're sending $X Billion worth of stuff, we're not actually sending anything at all. And what we are sending is good! And also, its good for our economy! But its even more gooder for the people who are getting the stuff that we just told you is worthless. Because now they can use it to kill Orks. And when you kill and Ork it drops loot. Which is a thing that Ukrainians pick up and use to invest in their medival economy. They can build towers and barracks and alchemist labs and advance their tech tree until they can get dragons. Isn't that what you want, you stupid fucking idiots?

    So the next time you hear someone tell you that the US is spending money on war, tell them to shut the fuck up and stop letting the US make money selling Ukraine dragons. Fucking morons.
