The Russian military is quickly running out of artillery and rocket ammunition, Pentagon officials said Monday, and the Russian army can only sustain its current rate of attack in Ukraine until early next year.

The Pentagon tells us, so you better believe it. I’m asking you, has our government ever lied to us?

I guess you don't get sardonic humor.

“I guess you don’t get sardonic humor.”
I’ve already apologized to the commenter if this was sarcasm. It’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not so I’ll take your word for it. The commenter was mocking the likes of this dennisw character, which he somehow takes delight in.

I like to have fun too but this is not funny.
Creating a national security threat on Russia’s border is NOT a laughing matter.

F the Russians and F Vlad Putin. Aside from funny, I take this Rus vs Ukraine war very seriously.
Since when did patriotic Americans root for Russians and for Russian conquest of nations that were once under the USSR boot? This is crazy. I have the answer. You all have drunk too deeply from the Ron Paul ideology.

"Russia’s ammo ‘rapidly dwindling,’ may begin to run out in early 2023 ...." I guess that means the Rooskies are too stupid to, oh, I don't know, make some more maybe.
To: dennisw
Hegemony and petro-dollar are dying and almost dead because of this lack of respect for anyone. It’s a matter of right and wrong. You’d better respect Russia because they have the ability to turn hundreds of cities to salt, and the former state of Ukraine, backed by NATO/US is NOT winning.

Russia is producing more ammo (never stopped producing ammo), but there are limits to how fast they can increase production. War consumes significantly more munitions than peace time. There is no point in producing more ammo than consumed once all storage is filled. Munitions often do not store all that well, and when stored in less than ideal conditions, degrade. Degraded munitions can be anything from failure to detonate to all sorts of dangerous to your own troops failure mechanisms, examples include shorts/underpressure, hots/overpressure, over-sensitive.
