We sent 1/3 of our Javelin & 1/4 of our Stinger missiles to Ukraine....our cushion is depleted with restocking to take years. TOLD YA SO!

 

Excellent essay from the @TheEconomist regarding how our aid to Ukraine is emptying the magazine of critical weapons for the US military and our other partners. We need to rebuild our industrial base and reverse the decisions of "The Last Supper." https://t.co/TABiah2eSu

We have emptied our war stocks in the effort to supply Ukraine's wishlist. It will take years to rebuild that stockpile and we're at the edge of what we will need during a major confrontation.

Additionally, American manufacturing isn't what it once was. 

We can't ramp up anymore.

So many of you on this blog act as if America has an endless supply of munitions, can make it appear as if by magic and more importantly CAN AFFORD to make it all happen.

With inflation, I seriously doubt it.

We've put ourselves into a hole and only now are we seeing officials/congress critters talk about it.

One last thing.

Told ya so!
