For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

If it makes you feel better, arms shipments to other countries remain the property of the US DoD and cannot be sold by the receiving party. Whatever India sent to Russia, it didn't come from the US military.
Can't it be used to "replace" the arms? US ships to India so India can ship to Russia without losing?
Yea that's possible, and has been done extensively in favor of Ukraine. However, considering the date differences between the US arms and Indian arms shipments, I think this is about India vying for power on the world stage and the US hedging bets against China.
