Navy Matters: “We’ve Run Out Of Ammunition” https://t.co/1c0CBnbTp8

Greatness isn't defined many times by coming up with some bolt out of the dark. Greatness comes from being observant and picking up on what later becomes obvious to all.

Navy Matters Blog is great and you should follow the dude!

The issue?

Everyone is wondering why we're giving them cluster munitions.  I missed it but to my credit I have been harping on the fact that we've been putting our own security at risk with our lavish supplying of Ukraine.

The "why" is because we've run out of other munitions to send them.

Its scrapping the bottom of the barrel and we found this nugget but everything else is has run out.

Like NMB said.  We are no longer the arsenal of democracy.  Why?  Because of policies picked up by the Pentagon years ago.  You remember that MBA thinking that they could do just in time logistics.  That stockpiles of ammo wasn't business effective because you had to pay for storage.  That business turned military mindset that years after Rumsfeld has left the stage (and the planet...he's dead but he's still fucking the US...another Bush hire failure for SecDef).

This is another example of arrogance leading to our inevitable downfall.  We seriously need a back to basics movement.
