Trump is not going to give Ukraine any Patriots.

Trump is agreeing to allow Germany to transfer German Patriot systems to Ukraine and then for the US to sell replacement Patriot systems to Germany at the foreign buyers purchase price which just happens to be quite a bit over twice the price the US military pays for the system

Some of this premium price goes to RTX and some goes to the US government to recover some of the US costs of Patriot system development.

” and then for the US to sell replacement Patriot systems to Germany”

I couldn’t give a crap about the money as we can print whatever we need. But I do care about the fact that we’re pushing are actual ALLIES, like Japan, South Korea, and other countries to the back of the line when it comes to getting Patriots, even though they BADLY need them, giving how threatening China is becoming.
