During an interview with CNN aired on Thursday’s “Situation Room,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that he “won’t speculate as to how long” the U.S. will have to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions while it works to replenish stocks of the munitions Ukraine needs. He also stated that “We have what we need, and we’ll continue to have what we need to support our plans in the United States of America.”
Austin said, “[W]hat we did early on was we engaged our industrial base and asked them to expand their capacity, and also the international industrial base, we’ve worked with other countries to do the same. We have what we need, and we’ll continue to have what we need to support our plans in the United States of America. But we want to make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to be able to continue the fight. While that expansion’s taking place, these cluster munitions act as kind of a bridging capability.”

Assuming the planet doesn’t destroy itself, the world will be screaming bloody murder at the US for decades for leaving thousands of these small land mines scattered all over the countryside… as well they should. Giving Ukraine cluster munitions was a dumb idea.
The Biden Cluster Fudge continues, unabated...
The Pentagon reminds us all of a Cluster.... nowadays.
“Austin said, “[W]hat we did early on was we engaged our industrial base and asked them to expand their capacity, and also the international industrial base, we’ve worked with other countries to do the same. We have what we need, and we’ll continue to have what we need to support our plans in the United States of America.”
This clown is lying. All they have done is get a 2nd shift at the Scranton factory. And that took them a year to manage even that.
They need more forging presses to actually increase shell production. If they order them today it will be years before they get them.
Getting involved at all was a bad idea.
In the end, both countries will hate us.
“This camel can carry a little more straw, don’t worry.”
Incremental escalation tiny bits at a time. It is perfectly fine until it isn’t any more.
No more than they already do. If Russia prevails the full story of the Bio Labs will be known and the full extent of the Administration’s involvement in the human trafficking trade and narcotics trade will be known. Therefore, Biden has instructed his Worshipers and enablers to pull out all stops to prevent this knowledge from getting out. At all costs they are to prevent this. And they are giving it the Ole College try.
This has the potential to be really bad…
People think things won’t happen because they haven’t happened before.
A dangerous fallacy.
In high school a friend picked a fight with someone from another school. John said ‘don’t me in the nose, it’s already broken’. Any question what followed?
“The United States is out of ammo and can’t fight a war.”

We will need to supply them right up to the moment the Russians loose their nukes.
Austin is just an another POS. The guy is just awful.
A bad choice but seems like whatever, give them something so they’ll shut up for a bit, and won’t spill the beans.
Very apt. But the grift needs to continue for those recipients of the receipts from the grift.
About a million in the various forces in today's military, an even with this, Biden wants to mobilize some few thousands of reservists. Recruitment is down as the next generations are unfit for various reasons, or do not want to serve in a "woke" military under some trans-officer cadre.
It is going to get really bad . And it will get bad. Biden will do what he must to protect his secrets. And that includes nuclear war with Russia. God Bless you.
Why don’t we just use low flying incendiary mass carpet bombing of civilians, entire cities. After all, the USA has done it before......

I totally agree. Trump would have stayed out of it and only participated as arbiter/negotiator between the two countries. Putin would not have tempted Trump, the Hammer of Thor.
