Subject: Re: Ukrain Aid
I have no misperceptions about the Ukraine conflict. I follow it pretty closely. I know where much of the aid is coming from (mothballed hardware that we were never going to use again because we have newer stuff). The cost is just an accounting thing as it requires no new dollars be expended, except for shipping the materiel. It actually is saving us storage and/or scrapping costs.

We went into some detail about that a few months ago.

Meanwhile, Russia has raided their boneyards to resurrect equipment from the Vietnam era (T72) because much of their new stuff is already destroyed. So what the West is doing is really hurting Putin. Even some T62s have been spotted.
