We gave them everything we had in our stockpile. And we haven’t done anything in our factories. The Russians put their economy on a war footing in 2022. Now it’s beginning to pay off.

The Russians put their economy on a war footing in 2022.

. Hardly, and they got plenty of ammo and we don't. Can you say Corrupt?

.

"Shifting focus to an international perspective, in 2023, the United States spent a towering $905.5 billion on defense, more than twice what the rest of NATO spends ($397.7 billion).

Meanwhile, U.S. rivals and adversaries collectively spent an estimated $301.6 billion, with China accounting for approximately $219.5 billion and Russia for $74.8 billion. In fact, U.S. defense spending accounted for over 40 percent of the global total for military expenditures. "

Ukraine didn’t have the wherewithal to begin with. They were too busy lining their politicians Oligarchs pockets to build up their own capabilities on anything....thus a debtor as par for the course.

I’m utterly furious that Biden gave these idiots so many weapons that, as Trump’s military advisor said, “We can’t defend ourselves.”
