The Defense Department held up a shipment of U.S. weapons for Ukraine this week over what officials said were concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers found that the aid package would not jeopardize the American military’s own ammunition supplies, according to three U.S. officials.
The move to halt the weapons shipment blindsided the State Department, members of Congress, officials in Kyiv and European allies, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.
Critics of the decision included Republicans and Democrats who support aiding Ukraine’s fight against Russia. A leading House Democrat, Adam Smith of Washington, said it was disingenuous of the Pentagon to use military readiness to justify halting aid when the real reason appears to be simply to pursue an agenda of cutting off American aid to Ukraine.
This Administration is shot through with people that range from useful idiots serving Putin to outright traitors.
What else can I call the imperious leader and his swamp rats that isn't redundant.

Did you spend a few minutes researching our expenditures vs our pitifully low production rates over the past decade?
ReplyDeleteThe cupboard is really bare. Currently I have it on good source that of our 11 carrier groups (includes support ships) we have at best case half loadouts of all of them. NO Resupply. We've been cycling carrier groups because they expended their missile loadouts vs the Hothi's (twice) and defending our "greatest Ally" at least three times.
But, But, But Raytheon is...yeah promising more in 2026 at cost plus contracting.
Same story with Patriot and THAAD missiles expenditures vs procurements.
Clinton liked to have Janet Reno for the media to slap around back in the day.
