BRUSSELS (AP) – Weapons stocks in the European Union are running low as member countries continue to sends arms and ammunition to Ukraine, the bloc’s top diplomat warned Monday as he urged EU nations to better coordinate their spending on military materiel.
“The military stocks of most member-states has been, I wouldn’t say exhausted, but depleted in a high proportion, because we have been providing a lot of capacity to the Ukrainians,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a debate with European lawmakers.

But we have more angry transvestites than the Russians do.
Meanwhile Russia is recalling 1960’s era tanks from Syria because so many of theirs have blowed up, broke down or been surrendered to the Ukes.
Ka-ching!
Relax EU ,Russia is also out of Arms and Ammo ,LOL
good
hope peace breaks out before the last Uke is dead
time to filibuster whatever Brandon wants
Maybe they could buy some from Afghanistan. I understand someone left a bunch of weapons there.
And all Donald Trump tried to do was tell the USA and the West that it needed to re-shore manufacturing supply chains and critical industries.
And for that, the DC swamp war-mongers and IC community tried to destroy him.
Quite an irony.
"Whatever shall we do?" wonder the honchos at Raytheon, grinning.
"Oh my goodness, woe is us!" lament the board of Lockheed Martin, rubbing their hands with glee.
So, soon the only thing saving the Ukraine’s bacon will be gone and they will be back to dumb bombs and “spray and pray” artillery. Oh wait. They arent2 dropping any bombs.
Then the Bloc should tax themselves more for the military, eh?
“And for that, the DC swamp war-mongers and IC community tried to destroy him.
Quite an irony.”
Consider that hey have been planning these failures all along. They are trying to destroy him because he was fouling up the plan. Then it is not irony, it is evil. Don’t give them any pass portraying them as incompetent.
They certainly planned to push NATO to Russia's borders, and to push Ukraine into a bloody conflict with Russia. And they planned to supply weapons to feed this conflict. But did they really plan then to purposely run out of such weapons?
Who is a threat to attack the E.U.?
Where do the weapons do the most good?
Or maybe we could just give them the same advice given to our school teachers regarding how to deal with armed attackers..... just keep a bucket of rocks handy!
It appears many nations have come to the conclusion that with all the interesting new military inventions and uses, using up all the old materiel makes sense. Probably one reason we left a lot of used equipment in Afghanistan. The Taliban did not have technical capacity to repair and maintain these weapons. Even if they were willing to give them to Putin, how would they get from Afghanistan to Ukraine? Yes, EU nd NATO countries need to pony up and spend their promised 2% on military preparedness. Poland has committed to 3%, they know they are next on the Putin list.
Meanwhile our military suppliers are raking in the Ukraine money. Contrary to moans that we are giving all our money to Ukraine, we are giving a lot of it to US industry, which is actually giving some of it to US workers, and some taxes are being collected for reuse by US. Hopefully industries will be paying their fair share of income taxes. Presumably that is part of recent bills passed—collect more taxes from industry and other businesses, hire more IRS employees to catch more tax cheats. When Ukraine wins most or even all of their objectives, US will make a lot of money on the Great Rebuild.
Maybe they could buy some from Afghanistan. I understand someone left a bunch of weapons there.

The Senile Joe war arms giveaway will be the Afghanistan debacle x 100. Make no mistake, he is depleting our military stores at a critical time. When will the war cheerleaders realize, nothing, absolutely everything vegetable head instates or supports FAILS?
That said, US critical arms suppliers are on record as saying it will take up to 3 years to replace our stocks.
.
Carry on war cheerleaders, your support for senile Joe’s war will not end well for America.
