Defense News: Congress poised to back multiyear weapons purchases, LaPlante says 

WASHINGTON ― The Pentagon’s chief weapons buyer said he expects Congress to approve new authorities and spending to expand U.S. weapons production in a manner unseen since the Cold War. 

To help Ukraine fight Russia and to refill U.S. stockpiles, Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Bill LaPlante has for several months called for the Pentagon to receive multiyear contracting authorities for munitions that are typically reserved for Navy vessels and major aircraft.

Russia, WNU and the rest of them only have themselves to blame.

Russia funded these idiots. Russia has literally funded the Left.

Hybrid warfare was all fun and games when Russia was funding and enabling people in the Left in the US. Now that the Left got near absolute power thru hook and by crook without working hard or having good policies, Russia is crying that these wacked out leftist nutjobs are crazy and I am suppose to feel sorry for Russia?

FUCKING RUSSIAN ASSHOLES did more than just fund the Communist Party of the USA and Gus Hall.

Now the Chickens are coming home to roost.



"As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - Mencken

We have a moron in the White House.

https://time.com/4426272/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-russia-emails/

You know the Russians have at l3east some dirt. Yet, they refuse to spill the beans on their good friends the Democrats.

What is wrong with hybrid warfare conducted by speaking the truth?

So Russia paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a 30 minute speech.

Russia has also paid Hunter Biden.

Now we are suppose to feel bad that Russia might get nuked (along with the rest of the world). I don't think so.

Russia hack Clinton:
Clinton’s team struck back, putting out a statement after Trump’s appearance accusing him of encouraging “espionage.” The statement said, “This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent. That’s not hyperbole, those are just the facts. This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue.”

Hillary kept a sever in her bathroom. it was hacked. On top of that the FBI allowed her time to wipe it clean.

The Democrats accused the Russians of being behind the wikileaks information.


As the Russians have paid the Clinton foundation and the Clintons directly. And as the Clinton lawyers worked with Trump to frame Trump. And as the FBI did nothing or colluded in it.

Yes, Trump should ask the Russians.
