Three months of support is better than nothing, I guess. US global allied support really shouldn’t be determined by ignorant, racist, angry white men in low population areas.
Will take some time until the contracts are signed/accepted (sorry, missing the right word here), and afterwards to actually fulfill those contracts. 3 months don’t even seem enough time for that, imho.
But I don’t have much insight, how fast such things usually are processed
You’re right, but I will say the federal govt has a sometimes magic way of greasing certain wheels and getting things done in a hurry, if the right person is pushing on it.

Fair point. I’m not sure myself, but it won’t be enough time if they’re anything like the general contractors I’ve used.
