The war in Ukraine has depleted American stocks of some types of ammunition

I am sure that makes libtards happy, since they want to see America defenseless, against our enemies.

We’ve taken the best shot our most advanced military tech and Ukrainian cannon fodder boys could provide us and that paper bear Russia is still standing. What does that say about NATO and Russia? What does that tell Xi about American military capabilities?

My understanding is the real intent is give that part of the world over to China. The globalists are dividing the world up into 5 or manageable areas.

North America and Central America
South America
Europe
Russia
China and area
Australia and area

Something like that.
They that’s the best way to manage the world.
I read that somewhere many years ago.

Maybe what it tells us is that there might not be a real war happening. The globalists don’t care if they murder millions in their fake wars.

It just may be their way of having the US helpless while they bring the world to heel under their rule.

Just requisition some from the IRS.

They have plenty.

Bidens depleting everything - military, resources, food, the bank, anything where there's revenue directly and otherwise.........Dems know they won't be winning the election in 2024 so they're leaving a scorched earth everywhere for the next administration.

The Russians are a major obstacle for the globalists. They don’t want to go quietly like we did.

Who, exactly, is likely to engage the United States in a land war in a timeframe where we can’t replenish our inventory?

The Strategic Petrolium Reserve is depleted and not being refilled.

I don’t know if we even have a Naval Petroleum Reserve any longer.

That is a keeper, from an invasion we thought would last days to now “”We’ve taken the best shot our most advanced military tech and Ukrainian cannon fodder boys could provide us and that paper bear Russia is still standing.””

Heroic Russia is still standing after fighting Ukraine for 7 months, quite an accomplishment.

The narrative is very fluid it seems.

“Dems know they won’t be winning the election in 2024 so they’re leaving a scorched earth everywhere for the next administration”.

I’m betting there will be no 2022 mid-term elections. They know they would lose and are not about to give up their power so there will be a big red flag and the elections will not take place.

America is imperiling its own defense capabilities by sending weapons to Ukraine.

Deliberately.

Democrats have been destroying our country right before our eyes.

That was the intent - to force the taxpayers to pay back borrowed money that was given to military contractors.

155mm ammo isnt very relevant to a defense of Taiwan. The US isnt going to deploy 20 divisions there. This is a job for the Navy and Air Force.

And extended firing of artillery isnt in the cards even for the Taiwanese. They need to repel the Chinese on the beaches, and that will be over quickly, win or lose.

Not many of those weapons, relevant to Ukraine, were in Afghanistan in the first place. Nobody was doing extended bombardments vs fortified positions there.

I dont think so. Who is the US Army preparing to fight with its 2000+ field artillery pieces? That implies a continental-scale battlefield.

The weapons the US will need in re Taiwan aren’t those its sending to Ukraine.

I would like to see your analysis of why the US would need piles of artillery ammo in Taiwan. The battles on the beaches will be resolved in hours, not weeks. Bombardments will be intense but over only a short period. And if the Chinese win and get a secure beachhead all hope will be lost.
