    Ukraine is purchasing the weapons though, they’re being provided under bilateral aid agreements. As is typical with bilateral aid, the terms heavily favour the country giving, because the country receiving is desperate. The US is selling weapons to Ukraine at a premium, albeit in a long term loan, yet you’re saying we should sell them at a reduced price.

    I don’t think you really know what you’re talking about.

      Im aware of how it has been done, apparently it isn’t enough. So, why, if there really isn’t a profit motive behind the ukraine war, doesn’t some other country purchase the munitions required and gift it to ukraine? I dont think you can lend-lease munitions.

        Denmark have literally just agreed to donate all of their weapons to Ukraine. I imagine they intend to resupply primarily through US infrastructure.

        Why do you think that the US should sell to allies at a discount rather than sell to Ukraine for a massive uptick? Have you suddenly abandoned that position?

        Are you just being argumentative for the sake of it? Are you completely full of shit??
