I'm gonna be honest, I'm very pro Ukraine but can't stand this talking point

stop trying to create your own reality by claiming the only stuff the USA is sending is ancient stockpiled garbage. it isn't true. *some* of what has been and is being sent is old, but *some* of it is very new and very relevant.

yes, the USA shipped Stingers. They have also shipped NASAMS (ground launched AMRAAMs), the latest guided rockets for use with HIMARS, the latest extended range artillery shells for M777s, and now they're getting Strykers and Bradleys.

I know you want to downplay the cost of this, and sure fine whatever but don't say it's free. it isn't, and you'll only make more enemies by exaggerating and stretching the truth when they find out that you tried to manipulate them than if you'd just been straight with everyone from the beginning.

supporting Ukraine isn't free of cost to us, it's just a very good deal to remove one of the 3 players from the board

I said most. Obviously I'm not stupid enough to think Bradleys are just rusting away in warehouses. There's also economic and humanitarian aid given, and those have very definite costs.
