Rules were made to be broken. That's how the Deep State rolls. Similarly, I had a boss many years ago who's philosophy was "Don't worry about OSHA rules just get the job done". On the rare occasion the inspector came nosing around a brown enveloped took care of the problem.
ReplyDeleteCongress doesn't want the responsibility of giving arms to Israel. Hell, they let pedo joe do most of the dirty work.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until the Pro-Palestinian leftards find out about this.
ReplyDelete"Oh, it was Joe Biden and not Donald Trump? Nevermind then."
Can anyone explain how a (guessing) 120mm shell costs over $7500.00? I wouldn't think they are GPS enabled...
ReplyDelete@Matt: US is charged over $1500 a pound for missiles! Do the math on that!
DeleteI'd think any missile would be many times more complicated than either HE or penetrator main gun rounds. Rockets not so much...
DeleteAnyone else find it interesting how we "sell" munitions to Israel but give 'em away to Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteI guess Netanyahu won't launder money or resell weapons like Zelensky does.

Israel “buys” things from America with money that America gave them.
DeleteYep, we are paying for it twice. Once for the initial purchase, then we pay Israel to buy it from us with our money. Sort of like the oil reserves. We paid to fill the reserves at $40 a barrel, then Biden sold it to us again at $80 a barrel.
DeleteThe State Dept ... don't notice too closely who and what group runs the place. It explains a lot. If in doubt, check "early life" section on wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteCongress holds the "purse" strings?
ReplyDeleteSo, when my wife's "daughter" (who was her grand-ex's son) gives my pool table to the sorority "she's" pledging, and the movers show up with a C.O.D. work order, I should not only sign it, but keep paying "her" tuition? Oh, and thank "my" wife? For her service.

because US dot mil has enough to fight 3 different wars on 3 continents, simultaneously. So I guess we can spare some for our Israeli brothers and sisters. Sounds legit.
ReplyDeleteSo obama pulled the strings on another deal....no shit!...
