The new defense spending bill includes $120 million for tanks that the Army has repeatedly said it doesn't want.
For three years, the Army in numerous Congressional hearings has pushed a plan that essentially would have suspended tank building and upgrades in the U.S. for the first time since World War II. The Army suggested that production lines could be kept open through foreign sales.
Each time, Congress has pushed back. Last week, Congress won again in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2015.
In a statement, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, said that Congress "recognizes the necessity of the Abrams tank to our national security and authorizes an additional $120 million for Abrams tank upgrades. This provision keeps the production lines open in Lima, Ohio, and ensures that our skilled, technical workers are protected."

See that bold part, fruitcake? Good.The United States has provided a staggering volume of military aid to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began Feb. 24. The Stingers, Javelins, HIMARS, and 155mm howitzer have upended Russia’s invasion, and Ukraine has successfully regained territory in the east.
Behind this operational success lies an uncomfortable reality: the war in Ukraine has left U.S. defense stockpiles significantly depleted. Current inventories do not undergird a national security strategy that continues to support Ukraine while retaining the ability to assist Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion.
You DO realize that your link is to a NATIONAL DEFENSE CONTRACTOR PROPAGANDA SOURCE that is BEGGING for more money, right??

Three words: death throes.
Wasn't that the whole point of Biden and Trudeau and their WEF handler's destabilization of Europe via suckering NATO into depleting all of their weapon stockpiles as well as having them go into further debt by throwing billions at the Ukraine that they will never be able to be repaid for ?Cannonpointer » 22 Oct 2023, 9:40 am » wrote: ↑ After israel has used up all of its stockpiles and all of our remaining stockpiles, russia and china can pretty much do WHAT they want, WHERE they want.
