Look. Globemaster costs more than 200mln.... new An-124 costs 100mln.... new IL-76 costs around 60mln. If you need to transport Abrams it is better to do with An-124.... everything else can be transported much cheaper by IL-76MF...
Hence for one Globemaster you have one Antonov + almost two IL-76. Don't feel that decision towards one Globemaster was somewhat political?
