not true - we sent them hundreds of billions of dollars worth of crap over the years. and picked up obligations not worth our time. All while Europe sold everything to China.
same with taiwan.
stupid waste of resources.

The overwhelming majority of what we sent them were things that were due or past due being decommissioned anyway, a process which would have costed more than giving them to Ukraine.

Ukraine actually did us a favor in taking it and blowing it up for us.
