White House: We’re Concerned About Having Weapons for Our Own Defense, That’s Why We Asked for More Money
Breitbart ^ | 10/22/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 10/23/2023 6:42:34 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that President Joe Biden requested supplemental funding from Congress because the U.S. running low on the weapons it needs for its own defense is “a concern.” But “the United States military can continue to defend our national security interests all around the world.”

Co-host Phil Mattingly asked, “In the President’s primetime address, he talked about the aid he’s seeking for Ukraine, and how much of that aid is to basically refill American stockpiles. My question is, the state of those stockpiles right now, the state of where U.S. weapons stockpiles stand, with two wars — sending now two different types of shipments on a regular basis towards two U.S. allies, how big is the concern that the U.S. is dangerously low on what it should have for its own defense right now?”

Maybe we should close the borders and quit funding illegals and the BiXiden Crime Fam.

Why in the heck is this even being discussed publicly? Don’t these people have to maintain security clearances? Weapons stocks, deployments, movements, pictures of special operations teams, troop readiness, strategies, etc.... Are classified matters. Some agency needs to shut these fools down. They are dangerous.

Here’s an idea, how about paying a few people to devise a workable budget for the upcoming fiscal year?

1/2 were left in Afghanistan when JoeBama left it to fall like Saigon and the other 1/2 are letting out the smoke somewhere in Ukraine.

Since WHEN do the Dems give a rip about defending America anyway???

To be honest, ammunition has a shelf life. And anyone in he military knows, we'd do live fires just to get rid of ammunition, so we wouldn't have to turn it in. That said, the Ukrainians have blown way passed any inventory the was nearing expiration.

There are old weapon systems we could send them as well - but probably already have.

So yes, we're probably running low on munition.

At the end of the Gulf War, we were down to a week's worth of certain aerial munitions, when the fighting stopped. If the war had continued, we could not have sustained the bombing rates much longer.

It may be the only people in the dark are the citizens of the US. Our nation’s enemies and allies have our national security information.

The public has a right to know the United States is out of weapons.

Perhaps we can buy some of our weapons back we gave to the Taliban?

Oh, wait, they gave them to Hamas to kill innocent Israelis.

Sure Jo Jo, Sure. That’s why you and the aclu azhos have decided to give “reparations” to the foreign illegal alien invaders. Don’t give us that crap about needing money to buy more weapons.

Yeah, right. “We’re low on ammo so those nasty Republicans in the House better vote us more money. Because you know we’ll spend it wisely.” Sure, bud...

Agreed.

This is a not so subtle hat tip to China to go ahead and invade Taiwan.
