Surprise. Ukraine taught the Pentagon that they need to stockpile enough weapons for a protracted war, they can’t just expect to place an order and have a pallet of 155mm shells arrive in 30 minutes or less.

Cut the 10% for the big guy and the kickbacks to the Obama generals .... billions more in supplies.

They are actively preparing for war right under our noses. I just cannot wrap my head around how badly the Obama puppets have so badly mismanaged... everything. China just brokers a deal in the Middle East that has profound impact and not a word. China is furiously building military outposts in South America and Africa, and nary a word.

Beg Zelensky for some of the money back and some of the ammo back. Also Biden is emptying the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as fast as he can. This man is The Worst President in history. Jimmy Carter lived to see the moment and smiled.

Did these lying SOBs think giving away the American arsenal and treasure would make the U.S. stronger and put us at a tactical advantage?

The Democrat Communist policies define sabotage. It’s become inordinately clear, we’re being intentionally destabilized.

Our government is worse than third world. What a bunch imbeciles we have at the helm. How in the world do we let the war we started drain us dry as if we had no clue it would incubate WWIII when we knew exactly what our goal was?

Our goal was to subjugate the USA to the new world order.

Maybe through shell corps. Chinese and Russian ammo are banned from importation to the US. 🀣

Totally easy. We just order all of the ammunition we need from China.

Our No Borders corporate and political elites have assured us that there is no down side to stripping America of our ability to manufacture anything.
