The Biden administration on Thursday announced the first flights will take place in the coming days to deliver infant formula from Europe to the United States as part of a new government initiative to address the domestic formula shortage.
The Pentagon is working to get planes in place to fly the equivalent of 1.5 million bottles of formula from Zurich, Switzerland, to Plainfield, Ind., to be distributed to areas of need. The flights are part of “Operation Fly Formula,” an initiative launched this week as one of several steps the White House is taking to increase formula supply.

Why not go commercial? Crazy!
America is the beneficiary of a reverse Berlin air drop.
The Woke have turned the Military into ninny nanas.
Don’t send the planes empty! They need gardeners over there and busboys? Right? We have 240,000 extra just from last month alone.
Bingo.
There has to be an opening in the marketing department for the idjit that thought the one up.
Switzerland? They’re slipping.
I figured they’d find the formula in Ukraine. Our congresscritters would want their cut, plus that 10 percent for The Big Guy.
Land the C-5, open it up and video the ghettopotamus fighting over the formula.
Funny how the normally stricter Certified Europe (CE) label is now less stringent than the newly revised FDA requirement which Brandon/Zero just ratcheted up.
MULTIPLE reports here on FR clearly state that European standards are NOT the same as USA standards...OURS are higher.
SO ANOTHER SMOKE & MIRRORS show from Biden, et al???
It’ll wind up in people’s store rooms between the five year supply of toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

The US is the only country where I’ve seen formula shortages. The Chinese, Russians, Mexican, Supermarkets have tons on their shelves.
The Chinese seem to really be enjoying our circling the drain. Sadly, when I read their daily barbs about the US, I can’t say they are wrong.

EUROPE??
Why Europe?
I hear they got tons in El Paso.
Give it another month and we’ll be flooded with baby formula, out of meat.
[…] These formulas have been prioritized because they serve a critical medical purpose and are in short supply in the United States because of the Abbott Sturgis plant closure. These shipments will include approximately 246 pallets.
[…] Under Operation Fly Formula, USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are authorized to use DOD-contracted commercial aircraft to pick up overseas infant formula that meets U.S. health and safety standards.
White House:
The Operation Fly Formula shipments will transport the equivalent of up to 1.5 million 8-ounce bottles of three formulas—Alfamino® Infant, Alfamino® Junior, and Gerber Good Start® Extensive HA—all of which are hypoallergenic formulas for children with cow’s milk protein allergy.
