US Ammo Depleted - Russia Ready to Attack - Can We Defend America from War on Our Own Soil?

https://nutrientsurvival.com We are out of ammo. Those aren’t my words – those are the words of the President of United States just days ago.
So we all know that we’ve been sending billions of dollars of military aid to Ukraine to fight our proxy war with Russia – and last week announced another $800 million dollar package which included more Bradley’s, more Stryker’s armored vehicles, more rocket systems, and more munitions – including very controversial cluster bombs.
Now I won’t go back through what I shared on Saturday, but if you want to see that video it’s out there.
The long story short is that these cluster bombs have a high dud rate which at times leads to innocent unknowing kids, teens, maybe farm animals - finding them years later and sadly going boom when they literally stumble upon them. That’s why over 120 countries have banned them, and why for the longest time critics on both sides of the aisle here in the United States have wanted to see them gone.
Including not too long ago the White House itself when Jen Psaki said that the use of cluster bombs possibly constituted war crimes. Go look that up, it’s out there.
So now that the Administration has had a change of heart with these cluster bombs, the heats on – and so either in desperation, or in truth, or both – President Biden admitted a problem with his remarks “this is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it”
Did you hear that? We’re low on it.
I’ve been saying this for months now, as we ship off our strategic stockpiles to Ukraine we are depleting our reserves and becoming a much target in the eyes of our adversaries.
I can just see China, Iran, North Korea, even Russia smacking their lips – when they hear POTUS admit that we’re weaker than before with this admission that our stocks are low. And we’re trouble.
No, we’re seriously in trouble. Even if we were low, why in the world would our Commander in Chief broadcast to the entire world that we were.
So this my question. If we are low. If we are at risk of fighting our own battles that potentially jeopardize American defense, not interests, but actual defense – I’m talking about an actual threat to American soil -- why would we keep sending more and more away.
Now here’s the thing. I’m betting Putin is pouring himself a vodka martini right now. This admission is exactly what he needed the United States and by deduction, our allies, to admit. That they are running low on ammo.
And that means one thing. Time to double down. Time for the full court press.
Mark my words. Putin is over there crowing about how Mother Russia, through this special operation in Ukraine, is doing much more than he thought. Not only is he inflicting great pain and casualties to the Ukrainian people, but he is getting a two-for-one in bringing the United States and NATO to their knees in the process.
That’s right. It’s not just the United States that is running low on munitions.
According to U.S. officials estimates were that Russian forces were firing about 20,000 artillery rounds a day, while Ukraine was firing about 4,000 to 7,000 rounds per day. Ok – that sounds like a lot of metal flying around and it is. In fact, it’s equal to the entire U.S. annual production in 2021 and faster than allied Western manufacturers can produce.
Maybe that’s why EU member states and the European Parliament agreed on a €500 million euro support package for the European defense industry to provide more artillery and missiles for Ukraine and to restock their own supplies.
Maybe that’s why the U.S. Army also announced another contract worth $995 million to increase production of 155 mm artillery rounds. The target is to produce between 12,000 and 20,000 additional rounds per month, the Army said in a statement. Ok so that’s equal to 3 days worth of what Ukraine is currently shooting. Do the math – a month to produce, 3 days to shoot through. That’s what we call in business a deficit.
Here's the reality. Since the start of the conflict over there, the United States has donated over 1 million rounds of artillery to Kyiv.
And according to experts at current rates of consumption, supporting the Ukrainian war effort is unsustainable.
And it means that the United States won’t be able to rebuild our own inventories of ammunition within the next few years, even as the government surges resources to increase production capacity of 155mm howitzer rounds.
One expert even said, “At this surge rate, it would take about six years to rebuild inventories allowing for normal peacetime usage and assuming no further transfers from inventory,”
Six years. Let’s hope this thing is over by then.
Either way, it is infinitely clear that the US defense industrial base is ill prepared to do its primary job. And that is to defend America.
