Pentagon Finds Another $2 Billion In Ukraine Aid 'Accounting Errors'

https://www.zerohedge.com/military/pentagon-finds-another-2-billion-ukraine-aid-accounting-errors

The Pentagon discovered $2 billion in additional accounting errors regarding its valuation of missiles, ammo, and other equipment provided to Kiev, a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report found days ago. The Defense Department made a similar claim last year, saying it availed Washington of $6.2 billion in weapons to fuel the Ukraine proxy war with Russia.

This latest report brings the improperly valued military material to a total of $8.2 billion, with the error said to be a result of unclear accounting definitions. In June 2023, the Pentagon insisted that weapons shipped to Ukraine from US military stockpiles, under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), over the past two years were overvalued using the “replacement value” of the arms as opposed to the “depreciated value.” This bought the White House some time to continue sending weapons to Kiev after much of the US funding then allocated for the war had dried up.

Does the military use a sliding scale like a bank for what something is worth? Like is there a KBB or NADA guide for what this stuff is worth?

Based on our steadfast partnership with the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom’s continued commitment of nuclear forces to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), I have concluded it is in the national interest of the United States to continue to assist the United Kingdom in maintaining a credible nuclear deterrent, which will further improve our mutual defense posture and support our collective interests under NATO.

Why not? Sent the Norwegians a few ducats to get Bardufoss going again after a 40 year slumber…
