NATO is running out of weapons to send to Ukraine as 20 of the 30 member countries have completely depleted themselves while fighting a proxy war against Russia.
“In Ukraine, the kind of European war thought inconceivable is chewing up the modest stockpiles of artillery, ammunition and air defenses of what some in NATO call Europe’s “bonsai armies,” after the tiny Japanese trees. Even the mighty United States has only limited stocks of the weapons the Ukrainians want and need, and Washington is unwilling to divert key weapons from delicate regions like Taiwan and Korea, where China and North Korea are constantly testing the limits,” the New York Times reported.
“The amount of artillery being used is staggering, NATO officials say. In Afghanistan, NATO forces might have fired even 300 artillery rounds a day and had no real worries about air defense. But Ukraine can fire thousands of rounds daily and remains desperate for air defense against Russian missiles and Iranian-made drones,” they added.
The West is now poorer and less safe as a result of their intervention into Russia, as Russian energy profits soar to record highs. Still, stubborn Western countries refuse to back down.
Big League Politics reported on a recent expenditure approved last week for the U.S. to give air defense equipment and munitions to Ukraine:
“On November 23, 2022, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the US government will supply Ukraine with air defense equipment and munitions as part of a military aid package valued at roughly $400 million.
Per the statement, the package features “additional arms, munitions, and air defense equipment from US Department of Defense inventories.”
This new aid package will bring the US government’s military aid to Ukraine to roughly $19.7 billion, since Joe Biden was installed in office.
“The artillery ammunition, precision fires, air defense missiles, and tactical vehicles that we are providing will best serve Ukraine on the battlefield,” Blinken stated.
The US Secretary of State stressed that the US “will continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes, so it can continue to defend itself and be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table when the time comes.”
Per a statement from the White House, Biden gave Blinken the authority “to direct the drawdown of up to $400 million in defense articles and services of the Department of Defense, and military education and training, to provide assistance to Ukraine.”‘
The people are hurting, but the profits for the defense contractors have never been higher. That’s all that matters to these soulless elites in charge of what’s left of the decaying, debauched West.
There is always Nukes to use!
You can bet money that the DC neocons would love to see a field test of tactical nukes.
Classic Russian propaganda. A Russian invasion of Ukraine is now Western intervention into Russia.
Russia is also much poorer and less safe as a result to the Ukrainian invasion.
Who benefits: China.
I say we hold a draft.
We draft Soros and all his kids and send them over to the front lines.
It’s a real win-win solution.
The west is ramping production of military equipment. That will continue to feed Ukraine much faster than Russia can build equipment.
The West will be much much stronger after this, and that’s a good thing.
I have been hearing this for awhile but I can’t imagine the collective West is that stupid to run through all their weapons already. Probably just a scheme to give more money to war profiteers.
Soros and his kids need helicopter rides.
Odd we never hear about China exhausting its stockpiles in this war.
The US has sent 60% of Stinger Missiles and that production line has been closed for 14 years.
We have sent 45% of our Javelin missiles. At current production rates it will take 6 years to recover.
It may take 3 years to produce all the HIMAR missiles we have already promised the Ukrainians.
So would the Ruskies. Then somebody gets really pissed. Then heavier things go into play.
Now how would the CCP make it easier to take over the USA? Get their minions in the USG to send all our weapons to a useless war.
Interesting that the USA beat the USSR at the Cold War by outspending them on the military - and now, perhaps Putin has learned from that???
The FBI IRS and the other alphabets have plenty of arms and munitions. Sad that they are saving it to kill Americans when the time is right.
"Russia's running out of weapons" is a daily salvo fired by the NATO proponents and SloJoe administration which "owns" the current Ukrainian government by virtue of paying their wages and retirement. Whoosh! Another salvo. "Russia is running out of missiles." "And washing machine electronics."
"Ukraine and NATO are running out of weapons!" An almost daily salvo is fired back by proponents of the Pooty Put. "NATO's arsenal is emptying with no production capability to restock!" Whoosh. Another salvo. "Putin's dying of cancer, Parkinson's, tremors and more."
Drone footage! Whoosh! No, this time I MEAN it! March said someone's running our of.... June said.... October said.... December says. Whoosh. Incoming salvo. Let us all salivate, if we are in the stadium cheering on our team. Yeah team! The other side should be called "Comrade." No, say the Gauleiters. No! The other side should be called "Gauleiters," say the Comrades.
For the remainder for whom this is not our circus and not our clowns, the side show on FR is delightfully interesting. Whoosh! The denouement will be a surprise probably with a twist or two. Whoosh!
Regards to all.
China likes this.
I’m looking forward to Russia and Ukraine fighting with clubs and rocks. It will be cheap.
“Hey Joe, egg putin into invading Ukraine. Then send Ukraine all your weapons and get NATO to do the same. This way, we will be the only left country stockpiled” Xi.
“Yes sir”. Joe.
Russia is also much poorer and less safe as a result to the Ukrainian invasion.

The Ruble is still climbing, billions of of rubles in energy, commodity and grain revenues pouring in…. China, India held military excercises with Russia, Brics ME and SA and more aligning with Russia….where have you been?
41 nations allied “ against “ Russia, and yet they still can not stop Vlad.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is turned into a welfare state, their currency, manufacturing, exports, economy destroyed …..and the war cheerleaders somehow think that is winning?
Been drinking to much of the western media whiskey?
“Classic Russian propaganda.”
Like Hunter Biden’s laptop and what was in it was ‘classic Russian propaganda’ too huh, peddler?

“Russia is also much poorer and less safe as a result to the Ukrainian invasion.”
Not even in your wettest wet dream.
The West has deindustrialized itself, demilitarized itself, and is dying, all by it’s own suicidal psychopathic self.
