Putinist doggerel designed to hurt Ukraine and favor surrender to Putler’s murderous expansionist dictatorship. The fact is a lot of this “replacement” equipment is due to orders from Australia, Estonia, Poland, and Taiwan. Any money the “Pentagon” spends will be reimbursed by these sales.
$2 or 3 billion is nothing. The foreign sales of this system will more than make up for it. And the Pentagon has a $750 billion budget. This “depletion” they speak of is miniscule.
The US has given Ukraine 20 Himars systems. The US military has over 400 such systems. The US military was planning to order more ANYWAY. The goal is to have over 500.
The Stinger missile system is now obsolete in electronics. It must be replaced anyway. Long before RuSSia invaded Ukraine, the request went out for a replacement system.
The M113 armored carriers sent to Ukraine are obsolete. It will be replaced ANYWAY.
The Javelin missile system has several pending orders for foreign sales. Several countries want to buy the system.
The US gave Ukraine 170 M777 howitzers. Still has over 500 howitzers still in stock.
Most of the rest of US shipments have been ammunition and small arms. Ukraine has received no planes, tanks, helicopters, and no IFV’s.
Ukraine has been given relatively little, and still RuSSia was reversed.
But Putnists are not bothered by facts.
Why is everyone who is skeptical of the monetary and equipment contributions to Ukraine a “putanist” or whatever you said?
Am I an “election denier” because I question the results of 2020 and 2022? Do you have questions about the election conduct or results?
Am I a science denier because I had questions about the origin of covid? Am I a science denier because I questioned the efficacy of the covid vaccine? Do you have the same questions?
Be slow to throw out general labels. I trust our current government so little that I truly believe that there is more to the Ukraine invasion than “putin bad.”
Sure, putin needs to die. But, surely you can understand why there are questions surrounding this conflict. That doesn’t make anyone fit in your little “putinist” box.
Also, just curious where you’re getting your inventory information. Are you active duty or DOD civilian?
