Now we're raiding arms in Israel to send to Ukraine
Hot Air ^ | January 18, 2023 | Jazz Shaw

So just how badly are we depleting our own arsenal of military hardware as we keep sending more and more arms to Ukraine? You rarely hear a peep about this from our swamp-dwellers in Washington, but our supplies, particularly ammunition, are obviously running low. This week we tapped into an infrequently-mentioned stockpile that we keep in Israel for short-notice use, both for American missions in the Middle East and for our Israeli allies during emergencies.

To me it only shows how much PEDOJOE hates not only America but also Israel.

To me it shows that the American Deep State and Israeli Deep State are deeply connected.

“At some point, don’t know when, this will not pass the smell test. Something else is going on.”

Keep in mind, the Left, the people who DEMANDED this war, have ALWAYS HATED our military, so perhaps they don’t mind seeing us being pulled down a few rungs here, particularly if they can get away with blaming Russia for doing so.

Yes,

we’ll know what else is going on when magically one day, all communication services go down instantly (phones/internet/banks) and some local in DC discovers a Chinese flag raised above the Capitol.

the US is being assimilated almost at the speed that “The Thing” assimilated those scientists in Antarctica 40 years ago.

Yep, one day you will wake up and it will be gone. Just mentioning the United States will be an instant Gulag crime.

I sometimes wonder if Biden IS actually in charge of everything and really does know whats going on and the dementia behavior is truly an act.

Kind of like the mob boss Vincent “The Chin” Gigante who would wander around NYC in his robe mumbling to himself, while secretly running the show.

Biden truly is the Oddfather Godfather

Not even 0.5% was sent to the Ukes.

Raiding US arms, raiding US funds, raiding the Strategic Oil Reserves, sending ally arms

Yeah, that was going through my mind too. The vast fuel oil storage facility in Hawaii is near empty, the strategic oil reserve is near empty, oil and gas exploration has slowed, food reserves are low and Diesel is getting hard to get, military arms and ammo are low and we are taking stuff out of storage to give to Ukraine without tracking how it is being used. Biden has ties to Ukraine and China. Anyone see a problem?

“Maybe I am ignorant but how come the Ukraine never built factories to build Soviet caliber artillery shells?”

Ukraine was more of a center for building ships, being the home of the Soviet Black Sea fleet.

Two weeks into that war and I was thinking a lot of folk are going to die and suffer. During the Russian arms build up, I thought an agreement would be figured out, but it appears that it is a laundering scheme. Gosh, the amount of money that was spent since Covid just makes me shake my head. So much for early retirement.

“It’s a stalemate with no end in sight. Make Peace!”

How about both sides just return to their 2013 national borders and call it a day! Would you agree with that?

I’m sure Zelensky has been stashing his money in Israel.

GOOD. Israel needs to learn RuSSia is not a trustworthy “partner” in any sense of the word.

“”They ship them to Ukraine. Ukrainians sell them on the black market. “”

Somewhere in between that cycle they are managing to defeat the world’s 2nd best Army, sinking their ships, and holding their Air Force at bay as we approach the one-year anniversary of what was supposed to be an easy 2-week conquest.

Can you imagine what the Ukrainian army could do if they actually recieved those weapons?

Any evidence other than your bigotry?

No one was prepared for tens of thousands of shells and thousands of smart weapons being used every month for almost a year.
Ukraine did build up their military, but were also fighting from 2014 onward. Their industrial base is in the east and most is in ruins or controlled by the Russians.
The US strategic reserve was too small, and the only European member of NATO to take Russia seriously and build up its military was Poland. Most European countries other than the UK, France, Poland, and Turkey don't even spend 2% of their GDP on the military
