BIDEN REGIME - just another failure. 
The DC Elite provoked a war they thought would destroy Russia in 2-3 months - that was the goal :die:  
Another foreign policy debacle created by red meat neocon ideologues who know nothing about Russia.
Now they are fisting each other furiously as DC psychos are known to do.
---------------------------------------------------
The weapons stockpile of the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies are becoming “dangerous low” with no “short term” solutions, according to a top U.S. Air Force commander.Gen. James Hecker, the commander of U.S. Air Forces Europe and Air Forces Africa, made the remarks at the Chief of the Air Staff’s Global Air & Space Chiefs’ Conference in London, reported Breaking Defense.The air force general urged NATO allies to think seriously about their stockpiles.
“I think it’s very important that we kind of take stock of where we are in our weapons state across the 32 nations of NATO, and we’re getting way down compared to where we were,” Gen. Hecker said on a panel with the air chiefs of the United Kingdom and Sweden at the conference, reported the outlet.And it’s probably not going to get better—well, it’s not in the short term
“So we don’t have nearly what we had at the heart of the Cold War,” he continued.“Now you add that we’re giving a lot of munitions away to the Ukrainians, which I think is exactly what we need to do, but now we’re getting dangerously low and sometimes, in some cases even too low, that we don’t have enough.

General Cavoli...""the scope of this war was underestimated by NATO.  Most in NATO never conceived of the ability
of Russia to escalate to this amount of firepower"

Biden has never been right about foreign policies throughout his political career.

Well, to most in DC its not about being right, honest, or just.

Its about serving the right people and their interests in order to get ahead.

Pence and Tucker the other day shined a light on this.  *** knows

I’ve known since I was a child that America has long sought decentralized weapons production.

We don’t ideally have ONE BIG ARMORY turning out, let’s use 155mm shells.

We used to use private contractors to have a **** of small shops making 155mm shells.

Then the Cold War ended and the little contractors gradually quit making shells.

All the Army’s supply of 155mm shells today comes from one government armory.

https://www.defensenews.com/land/2023/0 ... roduction/

Biden passed the largest defense bill in history, and wants more war money next year.

By the time that old man retires in 2029 he’ll have overseen the largest growth in munitions since Franklin D Roosevelt.

The Republicans were against FDR’s arsenal of democracy too, until December 7, 1941.:)

What dummy. Proves you know nothing about supply.  You never put all your eggs in one basket. Always have multiple manufacturers to supply in anything. You Libs are so stupid.

As I said, ideally we don’t wind up with just one government armory in one place making 90,000 155mm shells a month.  That’s what we have now.

January 25, 2023  DEFENSE NEWSPrior to the war in Ukraine, the U.S. could build about 14,400 155mm artillery shells a month. But as Ukrainian forces burn through the ammunition for howitzers sent to the country, the U.S. is hoping to ramp up production to roughly 90,000 shells a month, according to a New York Times report this week.
 Army acquisition chief Doug Bush, in a Jan. 25 press conference, did not detail the Army’s production goals, but said the Army wants to expand production at facilities that build the outside shell as well as those focused on packing explosives and producing fuzes and charges.
 Activity for 155mm shells “is almost exclusively at one place — Iowa Army Ammunition Plant,” said Bush, referencing a government-owned factory in Middletown, Iowa. “We are looking to both expand there and stand up additional capability in the private sector to supplement them.” This includes both metal shell body production as well as fuzes, explosive fill and charges, he added.

My Daddy raised lemon spotted German Shorthair bird dogs as a side operation to his dairy farm.

Old Sleepy Joe is like a $5,000 bird dog in 1965.

Yell, holler, shoot guns, quails flush under him, and Joe is steady to wing and shot.

In a few years America will make 90,000 155mm shells each day, if we want to.

So when we learn that we only have one armory making 90,000 155mm shells, in the public news, in January 2023, shall we just write off America as done and over, too “woke” to build shells?

Most of those shells use WW2 technology to build.

It ain’t rocket science.

Almost a billion dollars worth of 155mm shells are under contract, since February.

The industrial capacity of the USA and NATO to build 155mm shells is for all intents and purposes unlimited.

The Russians cannot possibly outbuild the USA and NATO.

How big is Russia's economy? Fun facts: three U.S. states have larger economies than Russia: California ($3.1 trillion), Texas ($1.78 trillion) and New York ($1.7 trillion). And California's GDP is more than twice the GDP of Russia.Sep 8, 2022

The GDP of the USA is over 15 times that of Russia.

That doesn’t count NATO.
