This is why the US Marines don't have tanks anymore.
Does anyone believe these changes are being made for some sort of pragmatic reason? I feel like I'm insane. This administration is doing so many grifts how does anyone take what they say at face value anymore?

But Ukraine was/is forced to "benchmark" their approaches with the reality of the war.
How will success be measured for this reform?
More money to Trump Jr.

Do you think that The Entirety Of US Government is one monolithic and self-consistent person that only ever does things for one purpose only?
