We're running low on ammo and missiles. Our ability to produce ammo is a fraction of what the Russian capacity is. And, our missiles and weapon systems are ridiculously expense and hard to maintain.
The defense industry has a big, lazy business that makes thousands rich but can't produce cost-efficient weapons or weapon systems. And, we don't have the manufacturing base to produce ammo at anywhere near what would be needed if the neocon numbskulls end up provoking a world war.
And, we certainly can't afford to waste ammo a worthless, tyrannical country like Ukraine just so BlackRock can continue to rolling in the money to rebuild it.
National defense shouldn't be a business and way for our politicians to get rich.

Is that why all the sophisticated, guided Russian weapons rely on parts smuggled in from US and European suppliers?
