Subject: Re: Ukrain Aid
Back when I was still a Republican, there would have been overwhelming support for this aid. If anything, the Dems may have been reticent. Not the Republicans.


Okay, let's clear up some misperceptions here.

First off: the nature of the aid.
We're sending war stocks off to the Ukrainians. That means, already-produced ammo and equipment that the US Army has is getting "USA" scrubbed off of it plus a quickie blue and yellow sticker placed on top. Then it's shipped to Rzeszów, Poland and sent by rail to the Ukraine. If you're into Flightradar 24 you can watch the cargo planes land and takeoff.

The 'money' in most cases is being spent...in the US defense industry. Gotta make more Bradleys and drones and HIMARs and rockets and artillery shells.

All good, right?

If the US had a better functioning armament industry...then yes.
