And the RuZZian Boys think the US is running out of weapons to give to Ukraine.

SHIP THEM!

“The Current U.S. Cluster Munition Stockpile”

“The report details a stockpile of 5.5 million cluster munitions containing about 728.5 million submunitions”

“This figure, however, does not appear to be a full accounting of cluster munitions available to U.S. forces. In particular, the tally does not include cluster munitions that are part of the War Reserve Stocks for Allies (WRSA).”

It was Trump who saved these munitions from destruction. They were in the process of being destroyed during the Obama regime, without suitable replacement. Trump halted the destruction and ordered they be maintained until suitable replacement weapons were produced. There are still no suitable replacements. This stockpile includes not only artillery, but 200,000-300,000 M26 rockets for HIMARS/M270, a couple thousand longer range guided M30 rockets, and air dropped weapons.

Neither the USA, Ukraine or Poland are signatories to The Convention on Cluster Munitions, so there is no law against providing with a presidential authorization. The M26 rockets would be devastating.
