Business Insider ^ | Aug. 4, 2024 | Seth D. Stein

Posted on 08/18/2024 10:35:05 PM PDT by Texan4Life

America has pledged over $100 billion in military aid since the War in Ukraine began. Most of that stays in the US to fund military operations and weapons contracts. But the US has also sent Ukraine its own shells, tanks, rockets, cannons, anti-tank weapons, drones, and missile defense systems worth $1 billion each. So which weapons have proven most critical on the battlefield? And will the latest round of aid really help Ukraine against Russian forces in a war many are calling a stalemate?

Nice toys, until there are no longer any boys.
When Ukraine runs out of boys it's all useless toys.

“Money we don’t have. Money our grandkids will still not be able to pay back. This is evil.”

Aside from the fact this below is a false statement and not true.

“Most of that stays in the US to fund military operations and weapons contracts.”

Almost all Military contractors are owned and controlled by BlackRock, Vanguard, or Statestreet. All globalist foreign entities.

Another note. As soon as someone figures out how to disrupt the signal going to those devices they're useless.
A device directed/aimed towards the target device and it's scrap iron.

For example...
10 Types of Counter-drone Technology To Detect And Stop Drones Today
Scroll down to Drone Countermeasures.

If we have it you can bet other nations have or are researching the same or similar technologies.

“a war many are calling a stalemate”

Big Mike, a person many are calling a beautiful woman. I’m not wasting my time on this obvious globalist hope porn. Anyway, the only thing that’s keeping the Ukes in this war are the cheap kamikaze drones the Chicoms supply.

The US is always looking for someone else’s war to test out their gadgets.

Then they’ll come after our kids. They’ve been wanting us to get in it since day one.

AMERICA -—””””is dwarfed by Russia’s huge manufacturing capacity””””

It’s easier to mass produce with “slave” labor, so to speak.
