| #6 I like how they keep 'finding' more inventory of multi-million dollar equipment and ammunition. Perhaps the GAO and/or DoD IG ought to be checking those seat cushions more thoroughly. It's also been pointed out, by Trent Telenko at least, that a fair amount of equipment that has already been surplused out may still be sitting in yards/warehouses/garages in useable condition, and could be pulled back either by voluntary purchase or even eminent domain. |

| #5 Unfortunately, there are a lot of weapons and ammo being put to good use Ukraine. Really a dysfunctional government. |

| #4 Likely the older versions that are about to expire anyway. A good chunk of Javelins the Ukrainians got at the beginning were already expired but seemed to have worked pretty well. It amuses me that the old equipment and weapons we have cost less to ship to Ukraine than to destroy them ourselves, due to congressional overwatch and environmental regulations. |

| #3 Someone in DoD did an inventory. A bunch of spare ATACMs were found between the couch cushions, already paid for. |

| #1 The U.S. is likely to send ATACMS missiles to Ukraine in an upcoming security assistance package. One U.S. official was quoted saying, "they are coming" while another one was quoted saying "they are on the table." |
