Daily Mail: Navy Secretary Carlos del Toro is 'concerned' that within the next six months the US Navy won’t be able to arm both itself AND Ukraine – urging contractors to boost production to meet the demand 

* Navy Secretary Carlos del Toro admitted there are 'concerns' about America's weapons supply as the US continues to arm Ukraine 

* He said that if the conflict in Ukraine continues for the next six month it will 'stress the supply chain' 

* Del Toro urged military contractors to increase production 

* Adm. Daryl Caudle also accused military contractors of using the pandemic as an excuse not to supply weapons on time 

Navy Secretary Carlos del Toro admitted that there are 'concerns' about America's weapons cache as the government continues to arm Ukraine. 

The Secretary was asked at a Surface Navy Association Conference on Wednesday whether he agreed with an admiral's statement that 'The Navy might get to the point where it has to make the decision whether it needs to arm itself or arm Ukraine.' 

He was very careful not to comment on the possibility of a choice between which country to arm, according to Defense One, but noted that 'if the conflict does go on for another six months, for another year, it certainly continues to stress the supply chain in ways that are challenging.'

WNU Editor: I am sure the US will be find a way to increase arms production in the coming months. But they better hurry up.

Joe Biden and his puppeteers are always a day late and a dollar short. Last summer WNU remarked that some hardware is asked for, it is mulled and the 2 or 3 months later the Ukrainians get it. No alacrity there.

Has Chris made a study of military history? Unknown. My guess, is that, if he is not a military history buff, he has made note of any readings on military history and science, he has come across. He used the interesting term of "penny packets". One can assume he knows that straightforward lesson. Alas, Biden, Obama, Klain, Sullivan, Blinken, Austin, Milley and the joint chiefs have not.

7:02,

You have been here almost 10 years. Maybe a little longer. You do not recall what I posted about 2012/2013, Paul Ryan and the rest?

Ignore 7:02. He is a degenerate tool bag.

All that guy does is gaslights and trolls people on here. He lingers here for years trying to argue with people and then running away name calling when info comes out that his party did the exact same thing or worse. Only republicans can do bad, you never hear him talk about all the issues of his own party simply because he is unaware of them, with his galaxy brain and all. No time to wait for evidence with Trump and his Docs but if its Biden lets wait until the cows come home and ignore the verdict if it doesnt favor his bullshit. Its okay to continue with the bogus Trump Russian Collusion bullshit "compromising our elections", but completely ignore the 2020 election with obvious election interference from media, state level voting procedures violating state constitutional law for things like drop boxes and mail in ballots and countless other things. You shouldn't argue with stupid. Its intrinsically unreasonable and these days left leaning. THESE IDIOTS CANT EVEN GET GENDER OR ECONOMICS RIGHT!! He is still trying to find the pee tapes and thinking Jan 6 was worse than the nazis in his party burning the country down and causing thousands of casualties and unprecedented amounts of damage more than any other non military event is recent US history. He is ignorant AND a hypocrite. Doesnt come much worse than that. Scumbag.

I know you are but what am I? If Biden or his son or anyone else in the Dem party has done what is deemed by a court to be illegal then I am all for full and just punishment.
If you can not stand a counterargument or statement or even an insult given when you give one, then time to give up the game.

I do not usually agree with many here. Does that make me bad? You have your views and I have mine. that is the way democracy is meant to work but you would have it otherwise.

Democracy is meant to work with equal justice under the law before just about everything else. Boom. You are done. You are not allowed to speak anymore.

See? There you go. You lost and do exactly what you accuse everyone else of in the end, every time. Now dance around like the little WNU comment section Jester that you are so we can all continue to point and laugh. Precious boi.

who lost? had enough winning
tip: if we do not have enough goodies to arm Ukraine in 6 months, then check back to the first post here to discover the frenzy taking place to spend more and more to get military goodies. Now reconcile those two posts.

We're winning alright. Democrats are going batshit crazy with Drag queen story hour, drag queen pole dancing of grade schoolers, forcing electric stoves on people, while they use gas (AOC & Jill the Pill), the COVID scandals and more

Lloydo Austin, who look like Mr. Magoo with his corpulent face and coke bottle glasses, walked back mandatory COVID vax for service members.

Sure! Democrat spending bills are orders of magnitude more expensive than republican bills for decades now. Who introduces 4000+ page spending bills literally the day of voting demanding an immediate vote, introduces huge omnibus packages, no single topic bills ever, and then holding up the will of the people when Republicans dont support pulling out another credit card to pay the current balances. Its obvious youve never read a single bill or keep up with it at all. You are happy to be a part of the party of bankrupting the country with unfettered idealistic social programs and nearly 100 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and then every single time the debt ceiling comes up, every single one of you plus Mitt Romney vote on it and bitch that Republicans dont care. Now to use padded gloves with you, reconcile that we need a female president but also define a woman. Dont personally believe that? Then post on your social media that you believe there are only two genders and watch the communists eat their own. Then try and tell the mob to go away when pedophilia becomes a sexual orientation and they want to fuck your child or you are a bigot who needs to be cancelled. You better hope you are on top when the communists start eating their own. Chickens roost, bitch.
