On the bright side, this should help keep the US out of wars for a bit. And, since every was since WW2 was based on lies, that's a good thing.

Repubs may be fascist idiots, but at least they are (accidentally) keeping our troops out of harm's way right now.

I consider falling for war propaganda to be ridiculous.

Every. Single. One.

Why on earth world anyone think our military-governmental-industrial complex would start telling the truth now?

The #GOP was always the "Pro-military" party. (Remember the *disgust* they had for "draft dodger" Bill Clinton?)

Then, they elected a draft dodger in 2000, "#SwiftBoat'ed John #Kerry (winner of the Bronze Star for bravery) to re-elect Bush in 2004, went BACK to being pro-military by nominating war hero John #McCain in 2008, nominated *another* draft dodger (Mitt Romney) in 2012, and then #CaptainBoneSpurs (who ridiculed McCain) in 2016.

To Rand Paul:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/craighooper/2022/12/26/ukraine-converts-219-billion-in-us-military-surplus-into-fearsome-force/

A lot of what we are sending is stuff collecting dust. Things like munitions probably would have been used in training exercises. Sending it to Ukraine allows the US to see how our stuff performs in conventional warfare rather than occupation and contingency operations.

To Tuberville, trickle down. I don't doubt good officers are saying fuck it, leaving less competent leadership which in all likelihood is driving out talent of all ranks.

Ukraine Converts $21.9 Billion In U.S. Military Surplus Into Fearsome Force

Doubters want you to believe $21.9 billion in military aid is a lot, when, in fact, it's mostly cast-off gear that the U.S. was already sending to the scrapyard.
