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 was the intent - to force the taxpayers to pay back borrowed money that was given to military contractors.
The US Army used to, as in circa 1980, a rather complex but comprehensive Class V management and production program. Inventory drops of this magnitude would have triggered a big refill program. The drawdown on POMCUS assets in West Germany as a result of the October 73 mideast war took over a decade to refill. This is not nearly as big an operation. Is the Army deficient now in a core competency, wholesale stock management?
Shouldn’t matter. Dems have demoralized anyone from wanting to even joint the military. So lack of ammo is no worry.
They can go to the IRS to get their bullets!!!

What is needed is an armistice.
Neither side has to give up any claim or right.
But the killing and destruction would stop.
BTTT
I’m sure they can borrow some ammo from the IRS!
Call me when the IRS runs out of ammo. But hey, the fully purged by vaccination military is not our friend. They stop being for us when they became folk obeying for a pension at 40.
Must continue to double and triple down to feed the beast.
It’s morally and ethically the right thing to do yeah?
I mean geez, neo-Nazi lives matter more than those of mad Putin’s Russian lives. Get with the program.

“...but it hasn’t signed new contracts to account for the higher amounts it will need to replenish its stocks, according to Army officials.”
Most likely they’re seeing the 3 to 5 year lead times and asking ‘why bother’ when there will be a new president anyway.
The IRS has plenty.
Please, many of the weapons sent are older versions. For instance the M113 is never going to be used in combat by the US, of which we have 6,000 in storage. Any war right now against China, would use air and naval assets which are basically untouched.
As long as recruits are taught proper use of pronouns so they don’t misgender anyone it’s ok.
Think of it as using up old stocks with in field testing. And we get to reduce Putin’s capacity for war
Probably the entire plan from the start
Doesn’t matter.
Who would be using that ammunition? Milley’s white supremicists? Woke college kids? Transgenders?
We no longer have a fighting force, so why worry about ammunition?
Put all that money in white cloth for the surrender flags Biden has already started using, starting last year in Afghanistan and this year in Iran.

Depleting ammunition stockpiles by sending them to Ukraine where they take out Russian equipment and soldiers.
Beneficiary? China, again!
Just two of many examples and there always seems to be a pattern to our government’s official actions, who then benefits from them and who pays.
And more often than not, other than with President Trump’s official actions, it’s we, the people, who are paying, not benefitting. Why?
Leverage. How many politicians, corporate leaders, judges, etc. would you need to own/control to make a government do what you wanted it to do?
Who owns who in our world?
Who owns us/US?
