Surprise. Ukraine taught the Pentagon that they need to stockpile enough weapons for a protracted war, they can’t just expect to place an order and have a pallet of 155mm shells arrive in 30 minutes or less.
Cut the 10% for the big guy and the kickbacks to the Obama generals .... billions more in supplies.
They are actively preparing for war right under our noses. I just cannot wrap my head around how badly the Obama puppets have so badly mismanaged... everything. China just brokers a deal in the Middle East that has profound impact and not a word. China is furiously building military outposts in South America and Africa, and nary a word.
Eff Ukraine.
These idiots are probably buying our munitions from China.
Have a Bake Sale , D’oh
Beg Zelensky for some of the money back and some of the ammo back. Also Biden is emptying the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as fast as he can. This man is The Worst President in history. Jimmy Carter lived to see the moment and smiled.
Maybe Zelenskyy will loan them the money.
Did these lying SOBs think giving away the American arsenal and treasure would make the U.S. stronger and put us at a tactical advantage?
The Democrat Communist policies define sabotage. It’s become inordinately clear, we’re being intentionally destabilized.
I misread it as “buy munitions from China” and thought wow have we sunk so low?
Our government is worse than third world. What a bunch imbeciles we have at the helm. How in the world do we let the war we started drain us dry as if we had no clue it would incubate WWIII when we knew exactly what our goal was?
Our goal was to subjugate the USA to the new world order.
Totally easy. We just order all of the ammunition we need from China.
Our No Borders corporate and political elites have assured us that there is no down side to stripping America of our ability to manufacture anything.
As if ammo wasn’t expensive enough already.
Trade heroin contracts for ammo already over there. Duh?!
Why do these idiots now want a war with China, they supply a majority of our stuff.
Our munitions plants where torn down in the 60’s and 70’s. I grew up next to a former one in rural Wisconsin. We don’t have capacity for a major war. We didn’t mothball them just in case. Russia did exactly that, now they work again.
The stupid doesn’t stop,
The article mischaracterizes what the US needs in a war with China.
This is a critical point.
A war with China will be an Air and Naval conflict. A large scale land war with the US army deployed in force for continental operations is highly unlikely.
The principal ammo shortfall are in Air Force and Navy long range missiles - Navy Tomahawk TLAM and anti-ship variants for instance, or the Air Force LRASM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158C_LRASM
When I started out in aerospace there were 26 major companies. Now there are 4.
I believe that the IRS has much more ammo than they need.
I am no longer proud of our country. It has been so messed up by Biden and Obama that it is so screwed.
