The U.S. on Friday announced $345 million in military aid for Taiwan, in what is the Biden administration’s first major package drawing on America’s own stockpiles to help Taiwan counter China.

Could be a huge deal.

In this case you may be right. I don’t really know. Maybe it is 345 million in obsolete military hardware. 🤷

  There are expiring stuff as well, missiles and the like. Rather than a costly safe disposal they get to do what they’re designed for.
