We are spending so much on Ukraine we cannot afford to support our existing air force.

Pretty soon, the Ukraine will be operating F-16s so they can squander our tactical air munitions like they have blown through our reserves of javelins, stingers and 155mm howitzer shells

Perhaps, but production of these weapons is ramping up, if we depleted our weapons stocks by minimal support for Ukraine, imagine how long they would have lasted against China.

Europe and US ramping up production might be the best outcome of this war

Think WW2, the collective west was asleep when it came to production. Imagine trying to ramp up production in an active war with China, NK, and Iran

Yes Putin did that

Biden has drained not only our military munition reserves but our strategic oil reserves. America is being lead by an Alzheimer Patient...and his leftist advisors.

All of this stuff was intended for use vs the Russians in the first place. Thats why it existed.
