During an appearance on FOX News Wednesday, NASCAR Hall of Fame team owner Richard Childress pledged to send 1 million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine to assist in the country's defense against the invading Russian military.

Childress, speaking on FOX & Friends, said he was moved by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's spirit to defend his country.

"I heard Zelenskyy say he didn't want out, he needed ammunition," Childress said.

The NASCAR legend said he called Fred Wagenhals, the CEO of AMMO Inc., about how they could make it happen. Childress told co-host Brian Kilmeade that Wagenhals immediately offered to begin production on ammunition for Ukrainian fighters.

Great, let’s make our ammo shortages worse. No one cared about Georgia or Ukraine. Now, all of a sudden, you would think Ukraine was a US colony in Eastern Europe.

Ukraine uses AK’s, so that simplifies the supply chain issue. Just buy 1M rounds of Wolf brand 7.62x39 from Russia and politely ax them to ship it down. Sounds like a lot but actually it would probably fit in a couple or three truckloads.

So, we can simply buy pallet loads of ammo and ship it overseas?

Who knew?

How much money is NOOSECAR owner Richard Childress pledging for the wall for our country's defense against the illegal alien invaders crossing our southern border?

This Virtue-Whining ass needs to be called out.

Howโ€™s that even work? UPS? FEDEX? Would it take a private civilian flight(s) which would have to fly into a war zone. This whole incursion has a particular smell about it.

“Howโ€™s that even work?”

He was on fox yesterday:

“As far as the logistics of getting the ammo to the front lines, itโ€™s not as easy as boxing it up and putting in on a plane.

“We’re working with some government agencies, but to get it there quickly, we’re going to work through a private company that will be working to get it in there,” Childress said.

He could volunteer to go over there and secure Ukraine’s border.

They are; a stealth colony but a colony just the same.

I wonder if it is possible to send some of the ammo the fed Bureaucrats have been hoarding or do they need every bullet to fight domestic terrorists?

Same difference. A million of each, then. Worldwide supplier is right next door.

While he’s at it, maybe he can team up with the Girl Scouts to send all those overpriced cookies along with the ammo...

Amazing, isn’t it? It’s almost like someone, somewhere, is whispering in our ear telling us what we should be upset about, and off we go like sheep.

>> Who the heck is going to pay that.. <<

The Obamas and Bidens seem to get a new mansion every couple of years. Maybe they are in the real estate market. Indiana may not be hipster enough for them but who knows.
