The Department of Defense on Monday admitted it is now having to send back to Israel some of the weapons it sent from its stocks there to Europe for Ukraine, while insisting it could supply both.

“We withdrew 155 [shells] from the stockpile in Israel for our forces in [European Command] and now we are sending that back to Israel for their use,” a senior defense official told reporters during Pentagon press conference.

In January, the Pentagon first acknowledged that in order to supply Ukraine with 155 mm artillery shells for its ground war with Russia, it dipped into its stockpile in Israel.

Neocon logic. Well, at least some shipping/moving companies likely made huge amounts of “emergency money”… ten percent for the big guys, of course.

Shortest verse in this post: “Zelensky wept.”

BIDEN: We’re Worried about Having Weapons for Our
Own Defense, That’s Why We Asked for More War Money

On Monday’s “CNN This Morning,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that Joe Biden requested $106 billion supplemental funding from Congress because the US is ‘running low on the weapons it needs for its own defense’ and it is “a concern.”

Then said “the US military can continue to defend our ntl security interests all around the world.”

Co-host Phil Mattingly asked, “In the President’s primetime address, he talked about the aid he’s seeking for Ukraine. My question is, the state of those stockpiles right now, the state of where U.S. weapons stockpiles stand, with two wars — sending now two different types of shipments on a regular basis towards two U.S. allies, how big is the concern that the U.S. is dangerously low on what it should have for its own defense right now?”

Its against the LAW for the government to try to take your guns.

They cant even keep track of BILLIONS of dollars of hi-tech weaponry but you must register your ammo and that receiver has one too many rivet holes in it to be legal, and what they hell are you doing with that “fuel filter”.

Makes me wanna scream! The government will never get my guns!
