    Most of what we’re sending isn’t money, it’s assets.

    Err… what? Who paid for those ‘assets’? Those ‘assets’ can’t be liquidated for capital?

    Lol, 35 upvotes. Man, this next generation sucks. Not a critical thinker among you.

      No, the assets can’t really just be liquidated for capital. They’re military equipment, and they’ve lost value over time anyway so the real value is less than the listed price. What can be done is giving them to another country for promises in the future.
