    nah that’s right. we’ve sent ukraine a shit ton of basically decommissioned shit. and even then we’ve been weirdly stingy, and unresponsive to their non military aid requests (their biggest ask is glass)

        Probably on account of every window in every city being broken by shockwaves from bombardments

          Wouldn’t plexiglass be a better thing to ask for during war time in that case?

            I am guessing that outside of the frontlines bombings are still fairly rare events. Risk is low enough for installing proper windows, but high enough to ensure there are not enough.

      Seems weird to ask the US for glass when they can get it from a lot closer, assuming we’re just talking about normal glass.

        they’ve been asking literally all their allies for glass. it’s been a constant struggle for them to get aid, especially as the western countries they used to rely on shifted focus to helping Israel
