The U.S. is currently at 24,000 rounds per month.

“We’ve also enabled a rapid increase in 155 ammo production. So from 14,000 a month in February of ’22 to approximately 24,000 a month currently, and we plan to be at over 80,000 a month over the following year.”

“300,000 drunk, borscht smelling, mental defectives are not taking over anything.”

Thanks for destroying the “Poland will be next” claim. They aren’t coming across the Bug.

Could be. And no going through New York State background check for ammo. Putin has more respect for the Second Amendment than the Democrats.

Also, Russian soldiers don’t know their personal pronouns and gender identities like US soldiers now do. Priorities. Who cares about ammunition if you don’t rehearse your pronouns?

Yes, but do they know all of the proper pronoun usages?…

That's because they're all drunk.

“And if the US’s existence was at stake, I am sure we could make a few 155mm shells.”


The US Regime spent the first year of this war claiming that it was Russia that was running out of ammunition.

Now it will take the US until 2026 to get their new production equipment installed.

(that’s scheduled completion data. When the Pentagon first gives you a date for availability, write it down, because it is the earliest date you will see from those clowns)

“Significant damage”?!? Yeah right, two vessels sitting for repairs are damaged and will be repaired. Those Tomahawks would do the same type damage the Russian cruise missiles would be doing in the Baltic States and Poland before the nuke threshold is crossed. Isn’t it easier just to concentrate on America’s problems rather than risking WWIII to keep the DC corruption machine operating in Ukraine?

The Russian “mental defectives” would have no chance against our fat, woke, prancing rainbow warrior led US military.

It sure seems like anti American propaganda when somebody on a website populated by American conservatives, many who are veterans, and some whose kids are serving in the military chooses that characterization of our soldiers.

Right now the Russian military is showing the world that they can't even hold their own against Ukraine, a much smaller nation. Even with foreign contractors, and lots of conscripts, the Russian army is losing.

No chance of a nuclear war unless Beijing and Moscow are surrounded and cut off. Even then probably not happening.

If today your kid wants to join the "woke" US military you didn't raise them correctly.

The Russians are drunk and corrupt. We are woke but technologically advanced. For now, we have the edge.

Not when it comes to electronic warfare.

The Tranny and Dog costume Regime has the competence and execution one would expect.

The Russians have some capabilities, especially when it comes to nukes. But this isn’t the superpower that Soviet Union used to be during the Cold War Era. If this was the Red Army during the Cold War, they would have captured Kyiv on Day One.

The Russians dominate in EW.

The Pentagon has really dropped the ball on this stuff and it hasn’t really improved since 2018.

This is Phillip Karber talking about his experience of what Russia was doing in Ukraine even before 2022.
