Australia had 41 F/A 18 Hornets they wanted to give to Ukraine. They mocked the offer and turned them down. So Australia scrapped them instead. Later, Ukraine wanted them, but they were gone.

The Australian Financial Review covered the story.

“He called them ‘flying trash,’” the defense contractor said. “That basically killed the F/A-18 deal. Had he not done it they would have been flying over Ukraine now.”

Ukraine only wants the good stuff. And cash lol.

Can't liquidated those easily for a quick buck.

Too much work to get a return for himself, the "big guy" and the DNC..
