"Pennies on the dollar" refers more to the fact that we have mostly sent old equipment that's already paid for and would otherwise never see the light of day, while also avoiding the use of any US/NATO manpower to massively undermine an adversary. It's a great deal, i.e. pennies on the dollar.
I guess it's edifer to just call everything a "narrative" though than try and understand current events.
It's a great deal if you're a monster who doesn't pay any mind to the broken Ukrainian bodies littering the trenches for the past few years. More conscripts for the meat grinder, it's cost-effective! Fucking ghouls, I swear.
And who's to blame here? Have you considered blaming the invading force, or does it have to be the west for your sensibilities? Everything would be great if we all just rolled over when invaders arrive at the gates!
