Of the 31 Abrams tanks the U.S. sent to Ukraine
At $10 million apiece, tanks like the Abrams are not easily replaced.
They're missing what makes these hard to replace. It's not the sticker price -- "just" 1 billion could buy you 1000. It's that the U.S. currently lacks the production capacity to quickly manufacture replacements.
Unintentionally a great demonstration of the "industrial capital vs. finance capital" conflict in this war.
The point I bring up is that the peace terms are just going to get worse. The only way Ukraine turns this around is expanding this into a great power war, which is insanity, especially in the age of nuclear weapons.
