lol what did we think was going to happen after so many months of republican dithering, and then a breakthrough appropriating billions in arms and funding? russia was just gonna take a nap? how were these armaments not ready day one second one, how were they not already staged on the ground in germany?
Yep. Military moving equipment around, even just packing up, costs money. There's a cost+ contract somewhere that was just waiting for funds before anyone was even allowed to look at the armaments.
