“250K .22LR rounds is 500 boxes of 500 (in inches, 2.63 x 2.63 x 2.50), wouldn’t even fill a closet, pencils out at 5 cubic feet. At 4¢ a round pre-pandemic, $10K total.”

Maybe next time, he can stop at 100,000 rounds.

The rule that brothers or father/son combos not serve on the same ship had already been a rule, it was waived, didn’t work out. Their mother was a tireless supporter of the war effort even after her loss.

LOL. That’s like asking a woman to stop buying shoes or clothing. OTOH, if you spend any time at the range, it goes quickly. One time I went with a guy who missed Desert Storm by a couple of years (he was in the 82nd), and we went through 1000 rounds like it was nothing. So for avid shooters, that’s maybe a few years’ worth of ammo, if you go weekly. Prices fluctuate with metals pricing, so gun nuts I know tend to stock up when they meet some target number.

The other issue is that they’re afraid of some federal or state mandate that either bans or restricts ammo sales or imposes a significant tax. In Israel, for instance, it’s 100 rounds at a time, and you have to hand back the spent cartridges. So they hoard. It doesn’t spoil, take up much space or cost very much.

I am so happy for these two Ukranian men.

Live long and prosper, in peace

“FREEEEEEDOM” … that’s true happiness!

Two Ukranians run to Romania to not fight and die for The Zelensky.

I just finished reading the detailed article about US traitor Dougan’s activities in Russia, actually in contact with “Putin’s Brain” Alexander Dugin. He even traveled to Mariupol with is daugheter, Dugina, where he accused Zelensky of carpet bombing the city, with no mention of the terrific destruction caused by Russia.

After repeated troubles and failure in US law enforcement jobs, and the US Marines he fled to Russia where his AI skills have been used for extensive fake postings in US media. For example that Zelensky’s wife spent a $million on luxury goods, and Zenelsky bought 2 yachts which have even been used to pursuade some Congresspeople to block aid to Ukraine. He has also spread lies about US candidates like VP candidate Walz, establishing a fake story about molestation of students.

In all a very ugly character poised to poison our elections even up to and after our Nov. 5, with fake stories on supposed mass fraud in balloting.

Many details make this an important article to learn exactly how Alexander Dugin’s advice in his 1997 book to sow discord in the US could be and now is proven to be carried out in our country by our US traitors and Putin’s agents.

I should have said “the detailed article linked” in comment #7504.

When mentioning Dugin:

24OCT2024 They want to introduce a new subject in schools. It will explain why men should fight, and women should have at least three children. This proposal was made by philosopher Alexander Dugin. “The subject will be called, provisionally, “History of the Wars of the Russian State.” It will tell about how Russia earned its place in the sun. About our Victories and Tragedies,” Alexander Gelyevich said in a commentary to our channel.

According to him, “this will be a parallel history course. But with special attention to wars, our Victories and the deaths of Russian Heroes, to details, so that everyone is moved.” The result of this course, Dugin is sure, will be that “Russian youth will understand: there is a lot of military work ahead, many feats. Therefore, men must prepare themselves to fight for the Motherland. And women - to give birth to warriors and new mothers. And give birth to at least three children.”

“I already told you - Russia will fight for at least 40 years. The current society is not ready for this, there are many defeatists and those who want to remain on the sidelines of the powerful historical process. And something needs to be done about this,” Dugin summed up.

He will submit his proposals regarding the new school subject to the Presidential Administration and the Ministry of Education in the near future.

Here is the Wiki article on Aleksander Dugin which includes 21 bullet pointed items for Putin to follow to take over Europe and the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

Below are his plans for the North and South American continents:

“In the Americas, United States, and Canada:

* Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.[9]
* The Eurasian Project could be expanded to Central and South America.[9]”

I consider this the most dangerous book written affecting our country since Hitler’s Mein Kampf in the 1930s. A very important book to learn more about. We must not let ourselves be fooled by clever internet news and other lies and propaganda.

“US Satellite Jammer Is Set for Delivery as Flaws Are Fixed”

“A weapon meant to jam Chinese and Russian satellites early in a conflict has overcome technical flaws and is expected to be delivered next year, more than two years later than originally scheduled, according to the US Space Force.

The L3Harris Technologies Inc. system known as Meadowlands is a lighter-weight, movable version of a “Counter Communications System” that was declared operational in 2020. The new model can receive updated software and is able to jam more frequencies. It was originally slated for delivery in October 2022 but was dogged by undisclosed technical problems.”

It is funny how people think 5,10,50,000 rounds will take up a warehouse.

A friend and I bought 20,000 .22 rounds from CMP. That does not take up much space as you showed.

Before my tragic boating accident I had a “few” weapons and a “fair” amount of ammunition

Has been my stance for awhile that the precious metals , brass, copper, and lead are valuable assets to invest in

No big surprise here. Anti-ship missiles are next. Savior of Christendom. Some here will cheer.

I actually think that is smart politics.

Israel is taking so long to hit Iran, I’m starting to think they are purposely waiting until after the US election.

Maybe some promise to Biden.
