    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.
