Are U.S. Arms Stockpiles Reaching A Critical New Low?

In this image provided by the U.S. Air Force, Airmen and civilians from the 436th Aerial Port Squadron palletize ammunition, weapons and other equipment bound for Ukraine during a foreign military sales mission at Dover Air Force Base, Del., on Jan. 21, 2022.

WNU editor: A must read .... US aid to Ukraine puts pressure on Pentagon’s arms stockpile (AP). 

Here are the key points in this AP report .... .... U.S. defense production lines are not scaled to supply a major land war, and some, like for the Stinger, were previously shut down. 

That’s putting pressure on U.S. reserves and has officials asking whether U.S. weapons stockpiles are big enough. Would the U.S. be ready to respond to a major conflict today, for example if China invaded Taiwan?

Supposedly the greatest "investment" we've ever made. I guess the Taiwan war will have to jump straight to nukes since the conventional stuff will be gone in a week. And here's why that's a good thing...

It is a good thing. Now Xi knows we are not going to fool around. It will go straight to nukes.

Taiwan is a critical part of the US supply chain. So there will be no surrender. Straight to nukes.

Sounds like a situation that Obama the Puppet Master approves of. Always find a semi-legitimate distraction (Ukraine) to cover for the ultimate goal. Anything to weaken America is good. Another example: use the green agenda to transform the US from a net oil exporter to a net oil importer, thus raising prices at the gas pump. Oh, yeah, and be sure to drain our oil reserves in the meantime.

moron above, ie name caller.
name what Obama did to curtail the military budget. You accuse him of that.
science is what is moving away from oil for climate change. But for sure you do not believe in that or vaccinations either...or in fact that Trump lost the election.

Obama does not know how dumb he is. People have always been treating him with kid gloves, following behind him and shoveling up his stinkies lime he was a circus elephant in a parade.

Want an example? The entire time Obama was in the White House the Fed had rates at or near zero. This after he declare 2 summers of recovery.

Propaganda is grand when the press and the Fed cover for you.


Indeed, scooping up stinkies behind him.

MORON 7:07 (aka did not learn how to read until 12th grade. Which begs thee question)

Semi-literate twit: "Name what Obama did to curtail the military budget."

How about decreasing funding for the military?

How about keeping the military budget low after the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine?

I now understand why WNU turns off comments not one person ever has anything to say but childish name calling.

No, actually, many if not most of the comments are quite legitimate. It's the trolls who try to stir up trouble. Just don't feed the trolls, and they'll have to look for their daily bowl of shit somewhere else.

I am reading all the comments closely. My patience is running thin. I am not going to turn-off the comments thread, but I am going to start deleting the trolls.

Thanks for all you do WNU. It’s insane to see how far the trolls/bots/misc push to strike against the BEST NEUTRAL NEWS BLOG I’ve seen. Your commentary is Smart, realistic, and clearly too accurate ( the majority of the time ) for the Main Stream Agenda HACKS to handle.

Call Obama dumb? You graduate Harvard Lawq?
as for military budget: it is the one bridge between parties. History shows that every pentagon budget request is always upped by the Dems and GOP in billions more than asked for! It is what Ike warned about. it is the one thing that gets congress to agree: feed corporations that make military shit. As for Ukraine: give more and more and then that too helps the corporations making that stuff.

I do call Obama dumb.

That a dumb person can be president is clearly shown by Biden's presidency. So Obama being dumb does not -preclude him from office. What is does show t the sheer power of machine politics.

About Harvard law. Obama was an editor for the Harvard law magazine (whatever it is called). He never wrote an article worthy of review and yet they made him editor.

As a point of reference Hitler had the best selling book in Germany on the 1930s. Now is Mein Kampf all that good or is that a display of raw machine politics?


Who cares if the Pentagon's request is upped. That could be nothing more than a shell game. The Whitehouse asks the Sec Def to low ball the request and the the politicos swoop in to save the day. What the DoD budget should be base on is the QDR with parties as staking their reputation on picking the low estimate the mid estimate or the high estimate of what is need to combat threat.

When talking DoD budget any budget proposal without reference to the QDR estimates is worthless.

that's certainly one interpretation. You can't make this stuff up.

Well, at one point it even got kind of racist/antisemitic. It's just maybe 3-4 guys who "call people out" (ad hominem attacks against the author of a comment). Most others are live and let live, but these three are unemployable--therefor sadly have plenty of time to monopolize these comments for bo apparent reason. I would ban them--but I dont know how that works.

Thank you--sorry for cussing at a few of them and I will stop now that I know light is arouns the corner, so as not to be mistaken for their foul selves.

hear hear--i was spurred into perhaps overzealous attacks on them when I saw them continually attacking the WNU Ed. himself. Then they post some 3 screenlengths screed like IT'S THEIR BLOG.

If you can not distinguish why Hitler's book was a big seller in Germany at that time and the Harvard Law Review then you really need to stop embarrassing yourself here.

No 8:08, they are one and the same.. the NAZI Party, a socio-military-political machine saw to it that "Mein Kamnpf" was a money maker.

Likewise a cabal of people gave Obama an editorship at Harvard Law Review based not on ability, but out of a sense of racial justice. Obama wrote one mediocre or poor article fot the review. So they made him editor.

Obama proceeded to discriminate against women, but it is okay. He talked the talk and this all the matters!

"When Barack Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review, he faced a heated battle with the law school’s Women’s Law Association (WLA) because women comprised only 25% of the editors selected for the Review during his tenure. "

Hope the editor does what needs to be done. Trols fo not add much to the conversation. Many of them have no logic pattern. Only ideological bent..
The other thing that is annoying is thier use of the ad hominem. This is usually done at the get go of thier comments and not as a reply to some one.

7:20 PROIVIDED PROOF TO 7:07.

There was a progression from 7:00 to 7:07 to 7:20
7:07 starts the ad hominem
7:20 replies in kind but also supplies concrete proof that refutes 7:07.

I would put Obama's IQ and emotional intelligence against Trump's and the snarky poster. Let us see you apply to Harvard Law School. Nah. Stay with your job a Dunkin Donuts.

Anonymous said...

a simple trick: look up things before making fucking dumb comments:

Obama Pens Criminal Justice Article For Journal He Led As Law Student
The Harvard Law Review essay serves as a stark reminder of what he couldn't do as president.

Do we have a direct measure or indirect measure of Obama's IQ? we do not.

A college entrance exam or LSAT would be a surrogate measure. Along with his grades all those things are strictly verbotten for the public to see. We cannot use degree attainment as a measure, because that has been corrupted. there is reason to believe that Obama was socially promoted. In fact it is the worst, most egregious case of it ever.

Ever notice when Obama has to answer questions with out a teleprompter there are a lot of uh's in his speech?
