Vance: ‘Shouldn’t we rebuild our own manufacturing capacity before we spend all of it on Ukraine?’
U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) today said that “we are depleting” missiles “faster than we can replenish them…and then we send them to Ukraine.
“We need missiles, and America doesn’t make nearly enough of those, not for our own security, and certainly not enough to support both the Ukraine conflict and, God forbid, a conflict that might occur in East Asia,” Vance said in a Senate floor speech earlier today. “So let’s specify that a little bit more. We are right now depleting critical munitions, missiles, artillery shells and bullets faster than we can replenish them.”
“And then we send them to Ukraine,” said Vance. “I’m sorry. Why does that make an ounce of sense for our own national security? Shouldn’t we rebuild our own manufacturing capacity before we spend all of it on Ukraine?”

Time for Americans to stop paying taxes since to basturds have no other priorities than sending it to Ukraine, this BS needs to stop!
This is the law of INTENDED consequences. IMHO, “THEY” are doing a draw-down deliberately so that when the fighting actually starts here from all of the warfighter-force they have imported from all over the globe, not only will our military and fighting force, along with all of it’s “tools” will be overseas, all of the munitions and supplies will be gone from here as well. This leaves “US” as the alone fighting force, till they decide to bring in outside fighting forces to “finish the job”.
Everything “they” are doing at the moment is pushing this agenda. Money going out, “tools” and munitions going out, info being shared, and all of the things that are being done here in the US (no border, making “supplies” unobtainable here, inflation,…).
The players are all on the field, the question left is “when is the kickoff?”. Are they pushing it more and more till they can get the numbers where they want them or are they waiting for a specific time so that future events that they don’t want to happen, are prevented (elections, more people waking up, more people prepping for what they see coming, certain documents or info coming to light that they don’t want that happening???).
10,000 questions, very few answers, at least truthful ones…
