Top U.S. military chief visits munitions plants with lawmakers to press the need to arm Ukraine

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. is visiting U.S. weapon factories in Oklahoma and Arkansas on Thursday as the Pentagon frames the $95 billion aid package hanging in the balance on Capitol Hill as not only vital to Ukraine’s survival but also critical to the U.S. economy.

Brown is visiting Lockheed Martin’s Camden, Arkansas, weapon facility and the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in McAlester, Oklahoma, with the lawmakers who represent those factory workforces to address concerns over billions of dollars being sent overseas when there are so many needs at home. Some of those lawmakers have either already voted against the aid or have indicated they will oppose it....

Brown said he’ll use the trip to point out how the funding is needed to replenish U.S. military stockpiles that have been sent forward to Ukraine during its fight against Russia’s invasion and how that increased production supports local economies.

Senile Joe’s welfare weapons give away to Ukraine not only weakened America, but will negatively affect America for years…long after the Ukies defeat.

Supplying the participants of foreign wars with weapons is “critical to the US economy”? The Founders would be so proud. /s

One one hand I oppose sending military assistance to Ukraine when our stocks of munitions is being depleted and the money could be better spent improving the lives of Americans but...

On the other hand I support increasing our ability to manufacture weapons and munitions to support a potential war effort against China. BE PREPARED!!

I imagine the media has been instructed to always refer to him as "Charles Q. Brown Jr." to avoid the obvious alternative.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. is essentially a political appointee in uniform ensuring the regime’ Ukraine political talking points are a priority for lawmakers. Of course, Mark Milley refused to be a political prop. The US Military is now captured by DNC Politics.

Russia got their ass kicked, went broke and lost all their satellite states after we sent a few crates of relatively cheap weapons to Afghanistan.

The Ukrainian resistance is even stronger, better equipped and not fundamentalist muslim. At the rate they are advancing Russians will be lucky to reach Kiev in 3 decades assuming they dont go broke again.

Russia losing the cold war and tucking tail was a big reason why the US economy boomed in the 90s and had surplus. Any weapons we sent to destroy Russia in the 80s were more than paid for with the economic boom.

Ah yes. The equal opportunity affirmative action appointee who couldn’t define the made up terms (cisgender, bigender, whatever) in his own DIE homosexual directive. A real genius.

Did O’Biden bring along Bernie Sanders? Bernie could’ve encouraged the workers to ask for a 4-day work week...at the same pay rate...in order to expedite production.

I was mocking Milley. He is a traitor by the actual definition.

If you were keeping up with the weekly or daily frontline reports one thing would jump out:

Russia is destroying each of the linchpin Fortification Hubs which NATO supervisede construction with interlocking fields of fire. Russia is simply continuing to maintain pressure in those areas.

After the destruction of a major defensive point, Russia moves to destroy another one. Currently, Russia has destroyed three of the six major frontline fortified cities.

Ukraine has burned up all of their Strategic Reserves to hold lines that Russia is ONLY Pressuring with constant contact and minimal gains.

Russia is not going to effect a breakout of the entire frontlines until July or August when another 250K augment their lines from training.

Ukraine is losing 35000 men a month and intake in 15-17000. Russia enslists 25k a month, they sign 35000 volunteers a month.

Those slow Russia gains are by design. They are applying constant pressure across the entire front lines. Ukraine is running around like Chinese firefighters trying to put out small bush fires here and there.

Ukraine is going to crack and when that week comes, they are going to see 25% of the landmass between Kiev and Russia lost in a collaspe of epic size.

I think Ukraine will see 75,000 men surrender when Russia begins moving thru Ukrainian lines in 4 places at once in July, and their KIA will be 175,000.

Zenlinski’s failure (Biden’s failure to speak) to talk with Russia or Putin simply means Putin isn’t going to pick up when the battlefield is settling old scores.

In six months, Kiev will be in Artillery range of two advancing Russian Corps.

“Those slow Russia gains are by design.”

Sure. Just like the “fake” 40 mile convoy to Kiev...

Macron and Biden lovers are Globalists. Ukraine is just another Globalist screw up.

Ukraine cast their lot with corrupt Democrats in the impeachment of Trump and it signaled their loss of Republican support. We owe Ukraine less than the Vietnamese.

When Ukraine breaks on the front, it will even convince you of the folly. That collaspe will be surrender monkey scream heard round the world.
