Recently, Joe Biden admitted something that was quite scary. He was speaking about the latest round of funding for Ukraine. In the process of justifying giving cluster bombs to Ukraine, his major point was that Ukraine was running out of munitions, and that we were running low…
Now, this doesn’t sound like something that should be made public, not where our enemies can hear it so plainly! They were talking about the 155 mm artillery shells the Ukrainians have been lobbing against Russian forces for quite a while now. And what has the result been? The Spring counter-offensive by Ukraine has been going on (well if you listen to the Communist sponsored media) since the first part of June. Have they made any advances? Were they able to use the Wagner advance on Russia to any advantage? Not that I’ve heard.
That’s go back to Biden’s remark about ammunition to be used by our forces in the event of hostilities directed toward us by our enemies. Our stockpiles are running low? What procurement genius allowed that to happen? Of course, how would the Pentagon even know?
Since 2018, the Department of Defense has failed five separate audits. In December of last year, they could not account for 61% of its 3.5 Trillion in assets. Doing the math, that’s $2,135,000,000,000! That seems to be more than a rounding error! That’s a huge chunk of change! And the Keystone Kops of the Pentagon can’t find it? Just last month, the Pentagon said that they seemed to have over-valued the last round of armaments sent to Ukraine. They said they needed to send more to make up for that error. That was separate from this package of $800 Million more.
I’m sorry, but something is fishy with all this. I know where all my weapons are. I know where all my ammunition is. I know how much ammo I have! Granted, we’re not talking anywhere close to the same numbers as the Pentagon comparatively. But, it seems to me the Chiefs of Staff of the branches of the military should know how many weapons he has and where they are and the same regarding ammunition. A Chief worth his salt shouldn’t allow his supply of ammunition to “get low”. Before that happens, they need to procure more. To “run low” puts the national security of America at risk.
If, in fact, there are shortages threatening the security of our nation, there should be firings of some three- and four-star Generals. If they are sending ammo taken from our units to Ukraine, thus threatening the country, there should be numerous trials for treason, or at least sedition! The Pentagon, having failed five audits, needs major revamping. Or, we could just wait it out, because they say they should be close to passing an audit somewhere between 2027 and 2030. Something tells me nobody at the Pentagon is taking this very seriously. That same demeanor runs rampant throughout the government!
