Ukraine ping
While 3,000 a day is the bare minimum necessary for Ukraine’s needs, other NATO countries are also expanding production. It’s instructive to compare this goal to the situation at the dawn of WWI, during which each major power was making at least 3,000 shells a day at the beginning. By its close, each of them was making in excess of 100,000 shells a day. Payroll for each of these efforts covered hundreds of thousands of workers. Using today’s manufacturing wages, labor costs alone would likely be tens of billions of dollars each, perhaps in excess of twenty. For 3,000 shells a day, the Pentagon is expecting to spend a billion a year on capital equipment.

Shoulda become a defense contractor
Ukraine is America’s colony
Russia, using WW2 tactics all over again.
How many for the defense of Taiwan?
World War III has begun. And our leaders are living in denial
Taiwan will not be an artillery war. It'll be an air war similar to the Battle of Britain, only with missiles. It's over 100 miles from China to Taiwan and there is no way China can land an army without gaining air superiority first. The troop transports will be at see for hours making the crossing and they will be sitting ducks if Taiwan still has an air force.
I guess the good news is we or they don’t have enough arms left to have a real WW-III.
Replenishing is good. Continuing to supply Ukraine is insane: there is no path for Ukraine to win.
As Trump implied I am pretty sure this all ends with Nukes and very likely the war that ends all wars. The deep state is behind this.
Close, but not quite…. BRICS, et al will have to step up a bit for that.
US to Boost Aid to Micronesia in Exchange for More Military Access
The US and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) are nearing a deal that would give more economic aid to the Pacific nation in exchange for more US military access to the islands, FSM President David Panuelo said on Friday.
The deal will be an extension of an agreement the US has with several Pacific island nations, known as the Compact of Free Association. Under these deals, the Pacific countries are treated similarly to US territories. They receive economic assistance from the US and fall under the protection of the US military in exchange for allowing US forces to operate in the countries.
The US is also allowed to deny other foreign militaries access to the Pacific Island nations. Extending the agreements and other US military expansion planned for the region is viewed in Washington as vital to US plans to confront China.

Good post. It’s time for production.
I am so sick of this crapfest. I pray for Biden, Putin and Zelensky, among others, to take a dirt nap and meet Jesus (briefyl), before their final destination.
There is only one direction it is heading. And that is full blown nuclear war. The Biden worshipers have joined the Neo Cons and Globalists in holy matrimony and they will accept nothing short of full scale nuclear war. And step by step they are moving to that. The only question remaining to be answered is, “How long will it take them to reach that point”?
Yep...unreal to see anyone okay with this....how much more funding -— with OUR tax dollars...while folks can barely buy food, pay rent, etc. -—
is enough, for Ukraine, EcoHealth, etc., with these people???
