There is no reason to believe this is true. The Biden regime has repeatedly lied about this, just like it lies about everything else>

Ukrainian soldiers are being slaughtered in a war they can't win. But lies like this keep the money flowing to Ukraine and laundered back to those the regime wants to give it to.

Meanwhile we are depleting our stores of high tech weapons faster than we can replace them, too. BTW, Why are we selling chips that can be used in high tech weapons to Russia?

Russia has been very close to running out of money/soldiers/hardware/ammo for six months now according to these writers.

“Russia is seeking microchips manufactured by U.S. firms Marvell, Intel, Holt, ISSI, Microchip, Micron, Broadcom and Texas Instruments.”

What? Are there no Russian semiconductor fabs? Didn’t the Glorious Communist leaders leave advanced fabs behind?

I seem to have missed this part six months ago. When was it written? Can you please share a link with us.

Sure, I'll spoon-feed you.

June 2022: Vladimir Putin’s army running out of ammunition, say Western officials

You can find endless variables of this story saying Russia is about to exhaust its supply of soldiers or weapons or ammo being written for months and months now.

“According to our information...”

More made up BS to project and deflect from Ukraine’s own massive manpower and equipment losses.

That was before the Russians gave up on their multi-pronged attack in the north and retreated from Kiev, Chernighov, Sumy, and Nikolaev.

Remember Putin's boast in 2014 that he could take Kiev in 'two weeks' if he wanted to? Well, after a few more weeks than that the Russians tucked tail and ran because they simply couldn't maintain supplies or generate local superiority of force.

Look at the map from when those articles were written in March

and look at it today - five and a half months later:

They aren’t manufactured in the US. They’re looking for chips available in Asia.

That said, *everyone* is looking for those chips because they have a LOT of applications.

I would buy this story, except for the part about pulling chips from appliances. Maybe way back in the 80’s/90’s chips were socketed, but everything is soldered to the board now. Pulling a chip off without damage is tough.

Watch for Scud missiles that will wobble around in the sky and drop fifty miles from the Ukraine target.

I guess that now that Allahpundit is gone from Hot Air, John Sexton has had to take over as chief propagandist for the deep state.
