Saddest is that none of this gets straight reporting and almost all Americans have no idea the the danger we are in right now. While I do not have visibility and expertise in logistics, I just read that we burned through a large pct of our HIMARS inventory and it will take 2 years to restock. Am I wrong to feel like we are possibly making ourselves more vulnerable? How much of our current stockpiles can we ship to Ukraine without damaging our own readiness? When I see the numbers of weapons systems, it's clear we've dug into our 'readiness' stockpiles'. Am I wrong to be concerned?
This is nothing new. Our airlines and airports have been hit before. Each time more airline/airports get hit, “loose power, have computer problems the system is down” it is only inconvenient for some people. What happens when it is banking, healthcare, your car? Biden is gunning for a war, he is doing everything he can to see just how bad, bad is.

Europe was and still is a bubbling cauldron of ethnic and land and nationalistic conflicts. I forecast they will continue making war with each other and Russia until the end of time. I much prefer The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark when it comes to telling the tale of WWI. You can see that it WWI was actually inevitable, hence why such a small event triggered it. Europe likes to drown itself in blood then decry it, lol, but meanwhile built a series of entangling alliances set on a tripwire and then indulged in power mad plans by France and Britain to stop Germany's industrial rise. They suckered us into their mess in 1918 (after Wilson got elected by promising to not get us involved in Europe's war), and where did it get us? The Europeans sowed the seeds of yet another war with Germany due to their rabid hatred of Germany and the absurd imposition of the Treaty of Versailles. The idiocy of Euro powers knows no boundaries - why are we getting sucked in? Be clear - for virtually all Americans if Russia took over Ukraine entirely we wouldn't notice. Or really care.
We do not have to fight in Ukraine. We have no treaty with them for a reason. The American people do not want to fight to protect them cuz they are far wiser than our elite. We can walk away and be fine. This is like putting a gun to ones own head and screaming that you are about to be shot...
