The Precarious State of U.S. Defense Stockpiles

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.…

The U.S. defense industrial base is operating in a distinctly different environment than it was five years ago — great power competition is again paramount, and there is an unexpected need to replenish U.S. military stockpiles.

Stripping the military of its ability to do the job for which it exists is being carried out in more ways than one. No one with enough neural activity to function can deny that this is done by design. Whether they take away the weapons and ammunition to give them to Ukraine or the Taliban, or they impose foolish "critical theory" idiocies about politics, race and sex, it all serves the same purpose, to reduce the ability of the Untied States to stand up to foreign invasion.

So the United States is now responsible for every person those munitions have killed. Brilliant.

If any of those who thought this was the right thing to do have any conscience, it will bother them for the rest of their lives.
