OFLMAO. Blank check? You mean the 30 Abrams tanks Brandon has promised the Ukrainians to be delivered NEXT YEAR? That will leave 5000 tanks in US Army inventory. Poland has ordered 1000 tanks, etc., etc.


Actually, I was referring to the 200+ billion dollars in direct financial aid the Biden Admin and Congress have supplied to Ukraine in the last 12 months to pay "pensions" and float the Ukrainian economy .

And the A25-30% of America's war reserve stock piles of Javelin and Stinger missiles as well as a similar amount of artillery munitions (reputed to be in the 2 million range) that the Ukrainians have used to wear out the field artillery we have supplied to them.

In case you have not noticed we are on the cusp of a potentially serious financial crisis with our banks so it is not clear how long we can keep transferring hundreds of billions of untracked dollars to Ukraine and the US military is already pushing back on our shipping even more weapons now that our war reserves are depleted by 30% with no end in sight to the burn rate with the CEO of Raytheon is warning that they cannot resupply in meaningful quantities for several years due to microprocessor and raw materials shortages and supply chain issues.

$200 billion? LOL. That’s Pentagon accounting. $10,000 toilet seats, etc. We’ve been sending mostly old junk to Ukraine. Bush and Obama destroyed mountains of it. Go look at the few USAF flights into Poland. Berlin airlift this is not.
