The Pentagon says it overestimated the value of the weapons it has sent to Ukraine by $6.2 billion over the past two years, resulting in a surplus that will be used for future security packages. The total surplus is about double early estimates. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh says a detailed review of the accounting error found that the military services used replacement costs rather than the book value of equipment that was pulled from Pentagon stocks and sent to Ukraine. As a result, the department has additional money to use to support Ukraine as it pursues its counteroffensive against Russia.
Hah, downvoting an AP article. I guess they’re in Putin’s pocket too now! It’s a good thing only Republicans cry “fake news” at everything that threatens them.
I think it’s the last bit about the fact that all this money is coming out of people’s pockets that made them mad. We’re not supposed to talk about the cost the average person pays for maintaining the empire.
