Does this include giving them old equipment which they'd have to dispose of anyway? Because that's not exactly "spending". Some even say that it saves money because they have no disposal cost.

Don’t forget that the old gear has to be replaced. That’s good American jobs right there.

It was going to be replaced regardless of Ukraine, that's the point. It was to be junked anyway.
