    ammo to send

    More concerning is where did all our ammo go? Surely not those MAGA rubes hoarding it.

    Whatever would be the point of that, I wonder?

    Fucking vote like our lives are depending on it. All of them.

      Guns don’t win wars, they’re important, but we’re talking about artillery, missiles, drones, etc. Nobody is beating Russia with rifles.

        Clearly true. See my other comment in this thread

        Where else? Personal stockpiles, but that’s hardle a point versus your assertion of one factory doing national production.

        Certainly numbers are dwindling for US manufacturing, but (without data at hand) this asserton smells of rhetoric. Talking points. It would.be strategic suicide to allow that state of affairs to exist in this day and age, and yet, … You might be right. Darn you.

        My point is, “point taken.” Now I gotta go look up US domestic ammunition production, except I wasn’t planning to sign up for new government watchlists this weekend.

            This is what scares me - the idea that we could run out of conventional weapons during a hot war, and start having to think of all those nukes lying around “doing nothing”

            Some powers really are too much for humans. We’re not ready

              Western military uses bombs and missiles from planes not artillery. There isn’t much artillery ammo because our military isn’t set up to use it.

              Ukraine doesn’t have the air superiority to risk doing the same thing so the way they fight doesn’t match the way Europe or the us does.

            I cede my point. Well argued, and no I really don’t have any data on US arms production at hand to argue otherwise.
