Better idea would be to sell them directly to Germany. That way we can be sure to get paid before shipping.

Ukraine is broke. We prop them up. I doubt voters are going to believe Ukraine is buying weapons. Particularly after the last few days.

Trust factor heading down the toilet. lol

Excellent suggestion. That’s Art of the Deal stuff. I am very much against giving our assets away (to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, etc.). Selling them makes more sense.

Ukraine probably has (or should have) a credit rating of zero. So that’s where your idea comes in. And if Germany declines, too bad for Ukraine. They can yell at Berlin.

Addition to my post #8:

Out of curiosity I just looked it up. Moody’s rates Ukraine creditworthiness at Ca.
Ca = “extremely speculative”.

The Finch rating service puts Ukraine even lower, at RD.
RD = “in default”.
