  1. The U.S. wishes to equip and arm the Ukrainians. But U.S. arms and gear, need a lot of technical knowledge to be passed on (both expensive and time consuming,) so Poland gets to upgrade and in return, pay for part of it (happy American taxpayers,) and it gets to pass on arms that the Ukrainians can use immediately, rather than 6 months from now, in return for a discount for its purchases. This is how we define a 3 way win, Poland gets to pay a 'friends and family' price, the U.S. gets to do military spending without angering the electorate by subsidizing Polish procurements of U.S. arms, that keep Americans employed, they U.S. can avoid having station, train, equip, and maintain a full army to defend Poland, since the Poles are willing to do that. And the Ukrainians get weapons and gear they are familiar with, that is probably well maintained as the Polish army was using as recently as 'yesterday.' So yay for everyone. Not to mention the Polish procurement from SK, where both can have a good arms-trade relationship as neither has a reason to be suspicious of the other's motives or intentions.
