That Ukraine money is going to the CONgessrional/Industrial Military Complex. Our military isn't sending our own weapons and weapons systems to Ukraine. The money we're giving Ukraine is then being funneled to the Defense Contractors and their lobbied CONgressional asshats in the form of "purchased" goods and campaign donations from the Defense CONtractors. This is how the CIMC and CONgress swamp critters make most of [their] money while skirting US/International laws and NATO rules against civilian corps(es) arming foreign nations. [they] make and give the appearance that it's the US Military sending these weapons/systems/supplies,etc (because the military has the capabilities to safely transport that materiel along with the trainers needed to teach how to operate them) but in reality it's the corps(es) themselves that are arming Ukraine. Pelosi practically admitted as much a few weeks ago without really realizing it at first. But when she realized her mistake, she quickly shut her mouth and refused to answer any questions from the media over her comments.
"War is a racket..."
And it will continue to be so UNTIL The People put a stop to it ourselves...by any means necessary.
When I was in the Navy, I personally witnessed how this works. In the lead up to the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan from 2002-2003, we were arming various nations and "freedom fighting groups" (read terrorist groups) being sent new state of the art systems directly from the manufacturers but through the various military units that order and operate these systems. We ordered them and transported them for those foreign interests, BUT they would order the systems thru the units that operate them. WE WERE NOT SENDING THEM FROM OUR OWN STOCKPILES as was originally reported. They were brand new, still in crates, never opened, and with shipping labels marked "IC/O" (In Care Of (insert foreign nation or group here). Also, the first few million pounds of ordnance dropped on those two countries were older weapons that were reaching the end of their explosive viability. (Half life on most conventional ordnances is only about 20-40 yrs, depending on the composition. We were dropping shit we had left over from Vietnam on Iraq for months before the invasion. Which is why there's still a lot of unexploded ordnance posing a threat to civilian populations. They'll still explode under the right circumstances, but they're highly unreliable.) All of that old crap had to be removed from our inventories so we could get fresh ordnance and weapons systems for th invasions while also maintaining our budgetary allowances without losing money for having to destroy old ordnance before being able to using it. The military loses money from their budget for having to destroy ordnance that can't be used because it expired. BUT, if we used it in a "war," we got more "funding" from DOD to replenish our stocks. This is the real reason why the Taliban was left with Billions of $$ worth of equipment, ammo, etc during that debacle of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. We had to "give" it to them in order to get fresh shit and a larger budget from the CIMC (labeled as "equipment loss," because the military doesn't get reimbursed for destroying equipment, etc when leaving a foreign country. The cost of that equipment comes out of the branch's next fiscal year budget quota.
