It’s not about the money, the ammo or the lack of air defence. It’s the glide bombs.

F16's which the Biden administration only allowed now, ATACMS's and more Patriot missile systems are the answer.

US Patriot missile production is currently 550 per year. It is being increased to 650 per year.

That’s less than two missiles per day !

The US is a paper tiger. It can’t supply Ukraine even if it gives them the entire production !

It was always about the money. War has become an accounting method to liquidate old US Equipment and replace it with next generation Equipment.

Since when did Ukraine ever get modern battlefield Equipment such as vehicles. Sure they got missiles but even that was bastardized to ensure limited use.

Blame Joe. His Birmisma connection was sending money to the Moscow terrorists.

In March of 2024 alone Russia launched 3000 FAB glide bombs but the yearly manufacturing capacity of the United States for patriot missiles is 550. Do the math genius. We can manufacture enough patriot metals to defend the Ukraine for two weeks from these glide bulbs. Also the glide bombs cost thousands of dollars while the patriot missiles cost millions. I don’t know of a faster way to go broke.
