NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says Europe supplying weapons to Kiev is draining the continent's resources and putting it in a difficult situation. Since the war began in Ukraine, Western countries such as the US and Britain, as well as European states, have supplied Kiev with billions of dollars worth of weaponry, adding fuel to the fire in the war.
This comes after reports from US media said that as Washington and its western allies continue to pump weapons into Kiev, maintenance of the armaments is increasingly becoming a headache.
Weapons overused by the Ukrainian military are either being wiped out or damaged during the conflict.
At least one-third of the 350 US-made howitzers sent to Ukraine are already out of action, according to defense officials in the US. Howitzers fire 152-millimeter ammunition and date back to the Soviet era.
The Pentagon has also sent Ukraine 142 M777 howitzers, which is enough to supply 8 battalions, according to the report.
Citing US and Ukrainian officials, the report noted that dozens of howitzers were towed off to be repaired. Most of the damaged armaments could not be maintained on the field, and the Ukrainian military is not up for the job. Moreover, Pentagon's European Command finds maintaining the armaments a headache

Wars have a way of doing that.
Who knew?
Biden, Biden supporters, Soros, Klaus, Pelosi, etc, are all known to love Zelensky; they could care less if average Europeans suffer.
Here’s a pretty unfiltered and honest view from current day Germany. Don’t wonder why anti-American attitudes are growing there.

Ukrainians firing roughly 4-6K shells a day whereas the Russians are firing 30K-60K shells a day.
“To put the numbers in context: During all of Operation Desert Storm, both the Marines and the Army fired a little more than 60,000 artillery rounds.
In the invasion of Iraq, just over 34,000 rounds were fired.”

US equipment was not built to handle such numbers that are occurring in the Ukraine-Russia war/conflict.
And its evident with these reports.
Simple as that.
Russia is replacing tank engines, gun barrels, etc. on the battlefield, while Ukraine is being forced to send equipment for repair 1000+ km away.
Also speaks volumes.
Some pretty questionable stuff there. I really don’t trust this news source.
Who knew?
Yeah, like no one saw that coming. 🤗
Step 1. Is it a news source from a country reporting on itself?
Step 2. Look at the information it is presenting. If it’s factual, that lessens the importance of whom the source is.
Step 3. If a Palestinian news source says 2+2=4, it’s still true.
Step 4. Don’t get emotionally attached. Facts and objectivity are what matters.
“Some pretty questionable stuff there. I really don’t trust this news source.”
Why is that?
Cause you are too lazy to do a search yourself?
A search via any search engine will provide countless corroborating sources.
Maybe for once they will pay for their own defense rather than let the US subsidize their welfare states by footing the bill?
Wait ... why is everyone rolling around on the floor laughing their asses off?
US falls short on weapons, will not divert exports from South Korea
“The war in Ukraine has now lasted for almost 10 months. The Western allies remember before the beginning of the war simply had not anticipated the scale of this conflict but today it is the primary cause of domestic and international wars.”
👉 U.S. looks to supply older and cheaper weapons to Ukraine.
NATO plans on restarting old weapons factories to boost prouction.
Ukraine is firing 7k rounds per day of which the U.S. only produces 15k per month. 👈
Also complicating the situation, latest weather guidance for western and central, northern Europe suggesting a colder than average first half of December by at least 3 or 4 degrees, will perhaps have an impact on the politics of this situation. The weather in November had been milder than average. This is already changing from eastern Europe into central Europe and will soon begin to change further west. Looks like a prolonged cold spell too.

Not our war. The war keeps going because it is breaking the backs of all who are footing the bill.
The WEF/NWO Schwab/Hariri crowd wants it that way to hasten their planned sick agenda of slave domination for the future population left after the culling.
What if there’s not really a hot war?
Just the lastest in a list of money laundering scams.
I’m starting to wonder if the money left over after payoffs isn’t going to prop up the EU’s, Russia’s and China’s bottom lines...
Draining the West’s resources, but also draining the major forces aligned against them as well.
Aside from Ukraine, Russia is taking the largest toll.
Silver linings and all...
No, this war keeps going because that obsessed warmonger Vladimir Putin won’t stop invading & attacking
put the blame where it deserves to be
