    It says “during 2020 shortage” right in the headline. As in, he sent them to Russia at the expense of US citizens.

        The difference is there’s no shortage of money, it’s all just sitting there useless in the pockets of billionaires.

          No no no, don’t you understand? The money HAS to sit in their pockets so they can accrue interest. It’s only once they become trilionaires that they’ll be able to help.

      The secrecy of this is the problem. We all know back then that Trump was a likely Russian asset.

      I could envision, say, Biden saying “While, yes, we have a shortage here in the USA, other countries are doing worse. So I’ve authorized the CDC to ship a few pallets to Russia since they are having a tough time sourcing materials. Because that’s what good neighbors do. So I’m asking our people to be extra diligent, rolling back any unnecessary travel and meetings until we have restocked our tests.”

      But we all know this was quid pro quo for Trump.
