Ukraine’s soldiers have been reduced to rationing ammo and checking daily for any updates from US lawmakers over whether Congress may cough up more aid, a Democratic senator claimed Sunday.
“Ukrainians on the front lines are rationing bullets! More people are dying, more territory is being taken by Putin, because Republicans are afraid of what they call ‘procedural violence’ – ‘a motion to vacate’ or a ‘discharge petition,'” Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) posted on X, referring to the congressional chaos over proposed legislation that includes billions of dollars in additional funding for Ukraine.
“Suck it up and pass the bill,” he urged his Capitol Hill colleagues

It’s called lying.
Yes, it is propaganda bullshat. Even if Congress passed a bill it wouldn’t help any time soon.
So this is pure BS.
Why not get the Eeeee-yew to pony up the funds for the US MIC this time?
Have they sent agents to beat up speaker Johnson yet?
> So this is pure BS.
Finely crafted and made from the most expensive ingredients. It is classic BS of the most ordinary kind.
perhaps there would be much more ammo if Ukrainian leadership had not siphoned off so much of Biden’s billions of dollars - US tax-payer billions, that is!
when we fail to place conditions of monetary gifts, we are inviting theft.
LOL
For those of us that have been paying attention , we lack the war manufacturing capacity to keep up with Russia at this time
(And they continue to add more capacity)

JD Vance on Ukraine funding: “If the package that’s running through the Congress right now ... goes through, I have to be honest to you, that is not going to fundamentally change the reality on the battlefield

We’re not the only country that has bullets to “loan”.
Ukraine could sell territory to Poland, Hungary or to an American billionaire for an independent country.
Imagine Muskland, where income tax is only levied for 10 years(the amount of time the US gets to grab income tax from Americans renouncing US citizenship).
If Putin invaded Belarus, would the Quisling Puppet Biden be sending billions to defend that country?
No he would not. The reason is that Lukashenko is not a prancing homosexual. Biden only supports Globohomo’s like Zelenskyy.
In fact, I doubt Puppet Biden would send ANY aide to ANY of the former soviet republics (except the Baltic countries because they approve the degenerate LGBT agenda).
When it comes to Soviet field artillery ammo expenditure there are numbers of 1944 suggesting this share:
76 mm guns....................... 31,939,000 rounds (average ~6.25 kg)
107 mm guns...................... 99,800 rounds (average ~ 17 kg)
122 mm howitzers/guns...........8,378,500 rounds (average ~ 22 kg, howitzers)
152 mm howitzers..................3,543,100 rounds ( average ~ 43 kg howitzers)
203 mm howitzers....................167,770 rounds (average ~ 100 kilos )
210 mm guns................................ 50 rounds (average ~ 135 kilos) (these low figures are likely not true)
305 mm howitzers........................ 660 rounds (average ~ 340 kilos)
when we go to Soviet mortar ammo expenditure (1944):
50 mm mortar: 3,236,500 rounds ( average ~0.85 kilos)
82 mm mortar: 42,550 700 rounds (average ~3.3 kilos)
120 mm mortar: 15,454 000 rounds (average ~15.8 kilos)
160 mm mortar: 12,200 rounds (average ~40.8 kilos )
280 mm mortar : 3,320 rounds (average ~ 246 kilos
Total 61,643,320 rounds, total weight 392,176 tons and average weight of round about 6.36 kilos. These weights taken from wikipedia sources and estimated.

“Suck it up and pass the bill,” he urged his Capitol Hill colleagues.”
No. Close the border 100% and maybe, just maybe we will talk about it.
L
Maybe all those people that have been fired this year can start manufacturing ammunition jobs…
Sorry, giving bullets out to people we suckered to die for us is not in line with the Aloha Spirit....
Let the EU provide their continent’s weapons and ammunition, we’ve go our own problems inside the USA with Democrats, RINOs, China and other enemy nations and peoples and even more problems crossing our borders with little or not resistance.
How can this be???
Just a couple of days ago some neo-con pseudo-con warmonger assured me that the Zelenskyy team had all the small arms ammo they need; all they really need is 155mm Howitzer ammo.
Asking for a friend.
