Subject: Re: Finally, Ukraine Gets Some Aid
We have arms staged all over the world, most in our bases all over the world. We also have fighter jets, troops, and all manner of military personnel and equipment all over the world. They're basically just taking some of the stocks we have for rapid response and sending them to Ukraine, to be replenished (i.e. our stocks) as soon as we can make more.

Supplying the aid to Ukraine before the bill was passed would have amounted to unauthorized use of military equipment (plus, there would not have been funds to replenish those supplies for our people).
