rant (cont.)

I can even understand unwillingness to give ATACMS, you don't have a lot of them and need them all to fight Mexican drug cartels or whatever you would use ballistic missiles for in 2023.

You don't even use f16 anymore, and just sold some to Vietnam recently.

There's at least few hundreds Abrams tanks sitting in the desert in dry storage. But no, 31 is all we get.

And the total clownery of political debate where at least two candidates build their platform on being friends with russia and china and stopping all support to Ukraine.

And the total clownery of passing a lend lease act in 2022 and then not using it - trusting Ukraine to win so as to not burden us with returning leased hardware, but not trusting enough to give enough to win.
