In my circles, a lot of people are advocating for donations towards charities that claim to be buying military equipment for the Ukrainians. I think this, more than any of the Marvel posting, epitomizes how the urban bugman thinks. They have zero clue how goods are produced and transported. From talking to them, it sounds like they think the Ukraine military can just go to the store in “Kyviv” and buy thermal sights, body armor, guns, etc. It never occurs to these virtue signalers that goods don’t just appear in a country, they have to be brought in. If these charities are legit, which I strongly suspect they aren’t, all they can do is try to straw purchase small quantities of export controlled items in another EU country and smuggle them in. Why go through all that effort though when every Western government is giving stuff away for free? It seems like a waste of money to donate to these groups.
