The US State Department has cleared Poland to buy 250 M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 tanks and other military equipment, estimated at almost $6 billion, as the US and its allies rush to reinforce NATO’s eastern flank amid Russian aggression toward Ukraine.
The sale of tanks to Poland has been pending since last summer, but the State Department came under congressional pressure to move the potential agreement forward late last month, as the Ukraine situation continued to deteriorate. A US official said Friday morning that Russia may have as many as 190,000 troops on the Ukrainian border, with President Joe Biden saying on Thursday that war could happen in a matter of “days.”

Eisenhowe was certainly in a positon to know, and warn us, about the, "Military Industrial Complex." He was a wise man and, I thiink, a vastly underrated President.
