WASHINGTON — The US State Department has signed off on a potential $12 billion sale of military equipment to Poland, including 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters and other military equipment.
The announcement, posted on the website Defense Security Cooperation Agency today, does not represent a final sale. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases announced like these have been approved by the executive branch for review by Congress; Should the Hill not object, the quantities and dollar values in the deals can change during negotiations with industry.

MIC Cha-ching! After the war is continued, the Poles decide to buy Apaches. Now they’ve decided to triple the number. We have been blundered into a new multi trillion dollar, generational cold war.
Good news for Sikorsky Aircraft division/unit of Lockheed Martin (maker of the Apache).
“After the war is continued”
“We have been blundered into”
Interesting English.
Great news for them and America, NATO, and Poland.
Cool! Apaches, Abrams, HIMARS, patriots and F-35 from the states. Leopards from Germany. k-9 mobile artillery from South Korea. NBPWP Borsuk IFV from Poland.
Though it will take a few years they are really ramping their power score.
It’s a dialect your posts are unfamiliar with. It’s called the truth.

******************
Money can be made with our current neocon foreign policy stupidity in three ways.
1) Preparing for a pre planned war for the ruling international establishment.(Military build up)
2) Going to war with historic Great Power Nations and the financial & emotional chaos that ensues.
3) Signing peace deals and financing Reconstruction of small countries that get hammered after the Big War is over.
Rincing & Repeating the same narrative, with different countries serving as the enemy, is how these corrupt bastards operate.
I’m as tired of this stale old rerun as you are.
Sikorsky builds the UH-60 Blackhawk, Boeing builds the AH-64 Apache.
We are starting to phase out AH-64 to be replaced by what comes out of the Future Vertical Lift program.
You’re right.
