    Again, you didn’t dispel any misinformation because you’ve provided zero sources. Here:

    https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3154210/department-moves-quick-to-replenish-weapons-sent-to-ukraine/

    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-to-send-250-million-in-weapons-and-ammunition-to-ukraine

    Where in either of those articles, each a year apart, does it say anything about us sending Ukraine weapons/supplies that are “ancient”? Much of it was purchased brand new, as well as from existing stocks straight from active military units’ inventories.

      For all I know, I responded to the meme to let everyone know that technically the US profiting off of these crisis, despite what some people think when “1 billion weapons system sent to X” hits the headlines with no context as to how the business around it works.

      Above is a quote past me made about your comment. Replace 1 billion with 250 million and X with Ukraine, it’s almost insane how well I can read into you.

      does it say anything about us sending Ukraine weapons/supplies that are “ancient”?

      …do you expect US to send their best tech to the front for russians to capture? Really the only doctrinal weapons system (not weapon, weapons system, there is a reason I’ve been specific about it) is the Patriot system and himars - to an extent - and they’re not seeing the front.

      And do you expect US to specifically make sure they let everyone know this weapons system they’re sending over is actual fucking 0/5 vietnam-era trash?

      I’ve told you to do research before commenting any further and I’m not seeing it. Be better than that, you are an embarrassment.

          I’m just gonna rehash my old comment;

          I have explained myself. I don’t see a reason to hold your hand and explain things that are beyond your comprehension to you, when I can just ask you to research before having an opinion on a subject you know nothing of. Personally I think you have all the rights in the world to be as wrong as you want, but I will of course call you out on it. Being misinformed unfortunately seems to be fashionable and it’s either that or plain laziness to research into it that makes you wrong.

            You’re a fucking idiot. “Here’s my old comment that says absolutely nothing meaningful and baits people when asked to provide a source.”

            Lazy troll bait, I should’ve known better.
