Why the hell does the US get to decide what we do with our tanks?
Selling/gidting to a third party is nearly.always a thing with deduce
That said,.I habe no jdea why Australia boight theae fucking things, we should have just stuck with the.German Leopards. We couldnt even move them.around they're so heavy and we don't do rail
our congress in years past demanded oversight over our weapons systems from countries we sold to to prevent them falling into the wrong hands so it's in the contracts for all weapons systems we sell. just now though, it's abundantly clear that the wrong hands was our own and these strings attached contracts prevent countries from actually being able to use them effectively. the entire war in Ukraine has been a protracted series of examples of how Ukraine could have made strategic strikes against Russia's supply chains long ago but was shackled to unreasonable stipulations of how weapons were to be used by the us and the uk.
