The way lend-lease worked was that many of the loans were forgiven, especially for equipment lost in battle. I'd say if the weapons are used in combat against the Chinese and lost, we write off the loan. Whether they feel they can afford the weaponry or not, it's not our territory that's at risk from Chinese annexation.
ok, thanks

I’m just a poor simple guy. So i might be misunderstanding this. We borrow money from China, to arm their enemies, and then whatever is lost in combat, we just “write off”? Like on our taxes? LOL
Or does that really mean, WE pay China back the money we borrowed to help someone attack them to advance THEIR interests?
Heres a clue, NOBODY cared about the Spratleys until oil was discovered there. Now they are all moving to establish bases. Let them elbow each other all they want, but this is not our fight. Not worth even ONE American life or borrowed Dollar.
