There's also third possiblity: US just sell the faulty junk to their vassals for exorbitant prices because US MIC don't give a flying fuck about wheter US or its vassals win the wars, as long as the junk sells.

Sadly we know this is not true. Just ask the Palestinians and Russians. Regardless of our opinions, those weapons they sent aren't moldy and absolutely do work.

They don't sell only faulty junk, they sell everything they can sell, and also there is a difference between still useful important vassal like Israel and 3rd rate dump like Poland that only ever managed to say "no" to USA twice and one of this times was because antisemitism.
