“Also part of the package announced Friday are 45 refurbished T-72B tanks.’

Are we paying for Ukrainian tanks to be refurbished or are we buying them elsewhere?

When Ukraine loses the last of its coastline in another couple of months they won’t need any boats.

Where did the US military get so many Soviet built tanks?

Wasn’t the US policy, in writing and promised to the sky, no former Soviet states in NATO? Could that broken word be a major source of today’s war in Uke?

Duh.

Insanity. Illegals are overrunning the Border Patrol and we’re pissing away resources in some shtthole country on the other side of the planet. It borders on treason.

Upgraded and put into tip top running condition.  From Poland most likely. Ukies have gotten the same tanks before from Poland

They’d just get stuck on the sand bars.

-—45 refurbished T-72’s——that part sounds like BS but could happen. Our guys have been big, since gulf war I, to squirrel away captured/abandoned Russian armor and a bunch of it got sent to Camp Irwin for desert training. So, yeah, maybe we have a stash that large someplace. I remember our Mediteranian/Persian gulf/Arabian sea/Red sea fleet supply ships coming home mostly empty so they frequently hauled stuff like that back.
