Congress is facing the most significant and transformational opportunity to strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base (DIB) since the end of World War II. The heritage equipment that the United States has provided to Ukraine for its self-defense in the face of the brazen and illegal invasion by Russian forces in 2022 needs to be replenished to ensure the United States is postured to continue to deter its adversaries. The new hardware will be produced at factories across the nation. Of the $113 billion appropriated by Congress to date related to the conflict in Ukraine, as much as $68 billion is destined to be invested here at home. U.S. support for Ukraine thus offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to sustain a demand signal to address long-standing weaknesses in U.S. DIB systems generally and ordnance and missile production specifically. Examining how U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is being spent and where funds for the U.S. industrial base relevant to Ukraine and future U.S. needs are being invested can help demonstrate how Russia’s war can establish a long-term incentive structure to revitalize the DIB.
Prior to the war in Ukraine, policymakers recognized the need to shift away from a defense posture focused on counterterrorism and counterinsurgency to one prepared to confront rising great power competition. This was articulated in the National Security Strategy adopted by the Trump administration in December 2017. The strategy specifically highlighted the need for a robust and innovative DIB and noted supply chain vulnerabilities. Recognition of the challenges did not result in rectification, as the attention of policymakers pivoted to crises including the Covid-19 pandemic, domestic political unrest, and the end of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan. In the face of the continuing supply chain vulnerabilities, these policies were sustained in the Biden administration’s 2022 National Security Strategy”

Little Girl: I shouldn’t have to put up with cracks like this.
“New York Times: 500 dollar Russian drones disabled the 10 million dollar Abrams tanks of the United States”
Well, then lets surrender today!
Maybe tomorrow.
Maybe yesterday.

ITS PARTY TIME IN THE USA!
You continue to expose what grossly immoral, unethical piece of trash you are, Speedy.
What's your connection to the defense industry?
Hell awaits you, Speedy.
Sickening warmongers say 500,000 Ukrainian allied soldiers now needlessly killed but boys, it’s good for business and MIC profits. God, how do the MIC stooges look in a mirror to shave every morning? Lucky you, Bob Dylan wrote a song about you and your bloody masters.

We are helping the enemy, of our enemy.
Destroying our enemies military without one US injury or death is a worthwhile goal and an important warning to China. US spent 5% of its military budget(Donating mostly older weapons) to destroy half of Russia’s military capability with the help of Ukraine Trump: "As everyone agrees, Ukraine Survival and Strength...is also important to us!"
Do you actually believe the false narrative that this helps our country? And why is greed and money more important than moral principles? Or right or wrong?
90% of the Military Industrial Complex is owned and controlled by foreign global New World Order Corporations like BlackRock. None of their profits made off the taxpayers backs come back to the states. The costs far far outweigh the benefits.
We are enabling our own enslavement by believing this false narrative.
The same “experts” that ran the DIB into the ground through profiteering are going to be the ones who rebuild it?
The very definition of throwing good money after bad.

Yes, amazing America First Patriots.
So true!!!
America’s industrial base is never coming back, and American made weapons of war for use by foreign military, will eventually be used on American citizens in America, by foreign nationals imposing Globalist Degenerate Tyranny.
