    We are sending them old equipment, and spending the “money” on replacing that old equipment with new equipment.

    In fact, it’s great for the US. Get rid of old stuff, get new stuff in its place, create jobs and stimulate the economy in the process. It’s win win win.

    Apart from the fact that the US spends way too fucking much on military, but it was going to happen regardless
