Accounting error means the Pentagon can send more money to Ukraine? BULLSHIT! The argument that the Ukraine war is paying for modernization just died!

The Pentagon has overestimated the value of the weapons it has sent to Ukraine by at least $3 billion — an accounting error that could be a boon for the war effort because it will allow the Defense Department to send more weapons now without asking Congress for more money.

The acknowledgment Thursday comes at a time when Pentagon is under increased pressure by Congress to show accountability for the billions of dollars it has sent in weapons, ammunition and equipment to Ukraine and as some lawmakers question whether that level of support should continue.

It also could free up more money for critical weapons as Ukraine is on the verge of a much anticipated counteroffensive — which will require as much military aid as they can get. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has previously said the offensive was delayed because they did not yet have everything they needed.

THE LIES ARE BECOMING OUTRAGEOUS!

First we were told that the aid to Ukraine was in essence paying for our modernization.  That just evaporated.  Take the Army for example.  They give the Ukes HUMVEES or M113s they get JLTVs or AMPVs in return.  Why?  Because they were accounting for it as NEW items.  Now?  Now they've reversed that so Ukraine can get more gear.

What happens now?

The US military is giving up gear that it won't be able to efficiently replace.  Which means that the US defense budget just WENT UP.  

Additionally our Pentagon has stated that the Ukes had all the gear they needed to start their offensive.

Now apparently they don't.

Which means?

The war isn't going as well as our leadership would have us believe.

Additional data point?

Everytime the Ukes start screaming for a particular weapon they're dealing with a particular tactic that is slamming them in the nuts.

We've seen it with the demands for Turk Drones, Fighters, a NATO no fly zone, HIMARs, loitering drones, anti-tank missiles (especially the Javelin)...the list goes on.

This ain't ending and it is affecting OUR OWN SECURITY NOW!

If our general had a single ball between all of them then they would be honest with Congress and more importantly the American people.
