I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there is a goddamn land war in Europe. Russia is an aggressive asshole and the whole world should be stomping on them until they stop being shitty neighbors. An investment in Ukraine is an investment in world stability and that is fucking priceless in my book.
We have something like 3 and a half THOUSAND Abrams tanks sitting in deep storage at army bases in the desert. This is the only use case for them between now and the heat death of the universe. Let’s get some fucking good out of them and send them to Ukraine.
I don’t care that we have laws about exporting them. Change the fucking laws and give Ukraine what she needs to protect democracy in Europe.
Even if war with China happens, that isn’t going to be a “we need those 3500 Abrams more than we have in active service” war. That’s going to be a “We start pumping out planes and CV(N)s like it’s WW2 again.” war.
