His comments follow concerns expressed by James G. Stavridis, a retired U.S. Navy admiral who formerly served as the NATO supreme allied commander for Europe from 2009 to 2013, over the weekend.

All. By. Design. American citizens are idiots and don’t care or understand.

Obviously giving the all to Ukraine results in lower stockpiles. So what do people yell first thing? Cut defense of our country! It’s stunning how stupid people are.

China will take Taiwan as soon as they feel we can’t do anything about it.

Ukraine is a diversion to waste ammo while the real threat is in the east. The USA’s crippled industrial base cannot produce weapns at a wartime rate needed to sustain a “real” war.

The Navy guy is worried. Even though we’ve sent very little Navy stuff.

Ok.

I, for one, am glad we’ve chosen to let everyone know how defenseless we are.

It’s like equity or something.

China will be welcomed into Taiwan within ten years. The Chinese won’t fire a shot.

Russia is out. Western Europe is out. The USA is out.

So who still has full armories? China, Iran and North Korea. Very comforting.

Weapons sent to Ukraine? No problem.

Biden is readying the pink pepper sprays on keychains that college women are told to carry. Military will have them in a few weeks.

It’s good that we tweet that our national security is weakened.

Duh! Deplete our Strategic Oil supply, drain our military, go $100 billion into further unpayable debt, can’t anyone see what our vegetable head is doing?

Carry on war cheerleaders, your Russian Derangement Syndrome is appalling.
