What hope does Ukraine have to hold out against Russia if the US keeps struggling to send weapons?

Starved of ammunition and losing ground, Ukraine has gone months without receiving weapons from the United States.

The crucial flow of military support paused in December after the Pentagon announced it had run out of money to replenish stocks.

Ukraine's Defence Minister Rustem Umerov has said troops are in a state of "shell hunger" and reports have emerged of forces rationing as few as 15 artillery shells per day.

For every 10 shells Russia fires, Ukraine can only shoot one, Kyiv security officials have said.

The firepower shortage was a contributing factor in the recent withdrawal from Avdiivka.

Still exhilarated every time a Russian soldier dies fighting in Ukraine.

ITAR and etc are the least of it, as far as timelines go.
For immediate use its all got to come out of US military stocks.

Ukraine never had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning a war against Russia…a waste of blood and treasure on both sides…Biden and the Rats have enabled misery…as always

Luke 14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

A drag show at the White House will cover it.

You tell us Annika. What are you Aussies sending?

What they really need is a GoFundMe page. A lot of far-lefties are whining that they would like to go to the Ukraine and fight with them but the college basketball playoffs are coming up in America’s newest, dumb BLUE state, Arizona.

We’ll be depleted, the prcs take Taiwan and...8

The US will be depleted of what, thats relevant to Taiwan and East Asia? Be specific.

This war effort has been severely hampered by the divisions caused by democrat voters, their media, and their government. It’s hard to fight and win a war without high quality recruits and the nation behind you. It’s a recipe to lose this and any future wars.

The problem: NATO is the king with 10 thousand, but they think they are still the king with 50 thousand.

Hey Victoria,

Since when did you hang out on FR?

[Svartalfiar]

and russia will be on our own, unarmed, doorstep thanks to plugs and his imbeciles.

...And how is Russia going to get here? Their only carrier basically runs on coal... Catches fire.. Can't even get out of port. I doubt they have the logistic capacity to put a company on our shores, much less an actual invasion force.
