Good journalism.
Then maybe they should surrender, sue for peace, and end the civil war?

“Good Journalism”
Actually the headline could have been better:
“A key Ukrainian withdrawal shows NATO doesn’t have NEARLY enough artillery to fight Russia”
Kind of stupid of the Neocons to start a war with Russia, yet never bothering to PREPARE for that war.

This article will REALLY get the Ukraine Cheerleaders panties in a wad:

Sorry, I stopped caring about 60billion ago. My money and thousands of lives needlessly wasted. Sad.
America's fault!
Well come on, all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
Got himself in some terrible pain
Way out yonder in the Ukraine
Put down your books and pick up a gun
We’re gonna have a whole lot of fun
Don’t know if it’s true, but in another thread a week or so ago, someone posted that Ukraine has fired more 155 shells than Patton used to beat the Germans in North Africa, implying that they had been wasting them.
You know they blew through 2 million US supplied rounds before running out. Another problem not mentioned but very real is the life expectancy of those barrels. NATO does not have replacement artillery barrels to spare either.
“The gun could fire a 100 lb (45 kg) shell to a maximum range of 14 mi (23 km), with an estimated accuracy life of 1,500 rounds.”
The current lack of munitions is not due to the bill not passing, it is due to past and current abysmal logistics, theft and lack of manufacturing capacity. America has been deindustrialized and it shows.
The “West” doesn’t have the shells to give and can’t make them in sufficient quantities.
The factories and tooling takes years to build with the first couple years of the “Special Military Operation” have been frittered away. Not so on the Russian side.
The Russians aren’t just using artillery anymore, they are our dropping a huge amount of heavy bombs that make mincemeat out of their fortified bunkers. Yes, the Russian air force finally showed up.
Duh. After already losing at least 1/5th of the country it took this to figure that out? And more losses are to come.
“America’s fault! “
They’ve been saying it all day.
These are high verbal IQ people. They believe that words and action are the same, or that words are better.
They live inside a "narrative", and they believe that if they control the means of communication, that their "narrative" can become reality as long as all other narratives (what they now call "misinformation" can be blocked.
The battlefield is one place where the rubber meets the road. There are others - the operating room, the cockpit, a burning building, etc - but the people who brought you Ukraine don't go to any of those places.
“Yes, the Russian air force finally showed up.”
We know somebody ordered them into the fight because they have lost 6 advanced aircraft in the last week or so.
They’re gonna have to take their knocks.
