US Pauses Weapons to Kyiv: Alarming Depletion of US Arsenal

No Quartermasters who know how to maintain inventory?

[tennmountainman]

Let Europe supply Weapons.

[BenLurkin]

They don’t need these weapons anyway. Putin is reeling.

[George from New England]

Loose lips and all ...
No way this claim has any merit.
More fakeness

[FlingWingFlyer]

With Newscum running up the cost of ammunition, we can’t afford to give it away anymore. We’re going to need all we can get when the DemonRATS open the borders again after midterms.

"No Quartermasters who know how to maintain inventory?"

Under Biden? Not likely. I wonder how many times over the past four years our inventory was severely depleted and we weren't told about it. We know that the Biden Administration asked South Korea sent ammo to Ukraine, and Japan sent Patriot missiles.

[nathanbedford]

Classic instance of penny wise and pound foolish.

The shortage of patriot missiles and other ammunition was well-known long before this administration took office. Even conceding a lag time in ramping up ammunition production rates, what has the administration done for 6 months?

What has this administration done by way of procuring drones to substitute? Drones are cheap, quickly produced and have transformed Ukraine's battlefields.

"Putin is reeling."

Russia chased the Nazis out of their country, and captured Berlin with far less armor, and military equipment than the Nazis had in WWII, and did it within four years. I believe Russia, with updated armor and weaponry today could have captured Kiev these past 3 years if they had really wanted to.

[Who is John Galt?]

"Alarming Depletion?" No way - the Ukraine patriots have assured me repeatedly that we were only sending old junk that we didn't need anyway; sounded like we were actually saving money, because we wouldn't have to pay to demil it!

Not when procured through the DOD acquisition process.

A friend works in plastic injection molding and they do a lot of government contracts.
They recently have been swamped with orders for munitions components. (Bomb parts) that they haven’t made for years.
They are backed up for months.

Milo Minderbinder retired long ago, heh. I remember a guy telling me decades ago about getting some 4X8 plywood sheets that he really wanted for a project but he couldn’t use them because they were “new” and his orders were to only use “used” plywood. So he blackened them with a blowtorch. Then they passed as used and he could build with them.

The right way, the wrong way, the Army way.

[Red Badger]

Good problem to have......................

[Navy Patriot]

US Pauses Weapons to Kyiv...

No worries, Ukraine hasn't taken a casualty in months ...

[brent13a]

Okay, I see you're hyperventilating a bit. But what you've said doesn't really square with reality. For instance, see post #12

England and Germany can fill in the gap with all the best weapons on earth.

[webheart]

The Chinese oligarchs who ran the Biden administration were very successful in weakening our country. They want Taiwan and the best way to get it is by USA not being able to fight them. Just like having a gun is practically useless without bullets. Ideally you want several guns and virtually limitless bullets.

[Spktyr]

Not when the CIC is demanding they empty them for their friends in Ukraine and threatening careers if not obeyed.

Also, remember all the people here on FR who were saying that we were only sending our old stuff and not front line munitions we would actually need in a real fight? Yeah....

[Spktyr]

There were leaks about this, and you could put it together from open source media. People like me were warning about this and there were idiots right here on FR that were telling me that there was no way, that we were only sending our old surplus stuff, that we still had everything we needed.
