Truth.
The part that confuses people today is this ongoing propaganda that Biden is helping Ukraine. He isn't. Biden is using Ukraine as a means of laundering cash. But Biden does not want Ukraine to win this war any time soon. Again and again, Biden has stood in the way of Ukraine getting the arms it needs, even going so far as blocking other nation from sending fighter jets.
The positions of Reagan and Biden could not be any further apart on this.
Biden's delays, especially with the Polish Migs, but with any equipment which could have given the Ukrainians a tactical advantage has cost Ukrainian lives and blood. In the meantime, aging ordnance* is being trickled in at today's prices, and a lot of money is going somewhere, but never leaving to go to Ukraine.
*Munitions have a 'use by' date. Keep in mind that the bombs which cooked off on the deck of the
USS Forestall were WWII vintage 1000 lb bombs. They made a shambles of the flight deck, even blew holes into the interior of the carrier, and the blasts decimated the firefighting crews. Old ordnance is not considered 'safe' at some point. Small arms ammunition can last decades, usually with nothing worse than occasional misfires or hang fires if stored correctly, but by the time you get up to 155 mm shells, the equation changes, and the consequences are more severe. This is a great opportunity to 'rotate stock', but inflation has jacked the price of those shells in just the last couple decades, and the difference in prices makes for opportunities to slide loose money around.
