We are talking about 155-mm artillery ammunition and Stingers. CNN sources believe that there may be difficulties with Javelin, HARM missiles and GMLRS.
"It is not yet possible to quickly establish in the United States the production of weapons and ammunition, the stocks of which have been reduced, just as it is impossible to request them from allies in Europe."
The picture changes interestingly after the Republicans took the majority in the House of Representatives.
Has anyone else noticed that CNN is now reporting truths? Does this have anything to do with the new CEO? Interesting. I thought they told us back in March that it was Russia running out of weapons.

And there are still otherwise thoughtful folk here and elsewhere with such Russkie derangement syndrome they think Russia is losing or will ultimately lose this war. I'm like dude, don't you get it: the reason the US military budget is so bloated is because of grift. Same reason we spend so much on social security and so much else yet never get anywhere. It was never meant to solve anything, only to make and redistribute money with anything else being secondary. We can't even supply basic consumables that are all in all relatively cheap compared to the more expense stuff to a PROXY without risking running out ourselves. What make you think the Russkies can possibly lose a war of attrition primarily decided by superior firepower and the industry to support it when they routinely arty spam the Ukrainians on the daily on the battlefield and have even moved up to bombing things with missiles well behind the battlefield basically almost daily at this point? Especially now that the ground is hardening and if the Russian know how to do one thing to the point it's in their blood, it's attritional winter warfare?
Exactly. I’ve been listening to Colonel Douglas MacGregor for months and he has not digressed from ‘Russia cannot loose this war’ one second. Russia’s MO is to move their fighters into an area, clean it out and move on. The Kherson celebrations by Ukraine and the West are so premature. You can retake territory at a latter stage, but you cannot replace men and equipment. Russia have been targeting electricity substations and water pumping stations as well as Ukraine Military bases and their munition depots.
According to the Colonel, Russia has only used 20% of their firepower. And Russia has not closed the mobilisation stations. After the 300,000 RESERVISTS reported for duty, he reported another 200,000 men turned up wanting to serve without any conscription letters. This surge has not stopped and the Mobilisation has not closed. At this very minute, Russia can have over 1 million troops on the battlefield and that does not include the hundreds of thousands fronting up to enrolment stations that need training.
The Russians know they are fighting for their very homeland and this is their motivation. Ukrainians are just sojourners in a foreign land. Invaders, trying to instigate regime change under the guise of lies to divide Russia into 4 regions, already planned by the globalists. Like other countries where they have invaded, bought about regime, put their puppet in, pilfered their natural resources and leave the country in civil war and poverty, Putin realised they would move on Russia one day and has planned for it. There is a reason why the BRICS Nations are growing by the day as resource rich nations are clamouring to join. Saudi Arabia the latest. The Wests predatory agenda might have just met it’s match.
You are witnessing the systematic destruction of the OLD GUARD.
Q
Couldn't have said it better myself. Macgregor's a good source for foreign policy generally, but his statements about President Trump in a recent vid made me drop him because it rings a little like the old tired TDS I can't even take a wiff of anymore.
45 had so many DS around. Was a pity the Colonel couldn’t get in his ear - too many 4 star generals wanting the limelight. Milley, I believe, is deathly scared.
Agreed. I just wish the good colonel didn't basically accuse President Trump of effectively taking bribes from the RINOs to pay for his campaign debt after he won to get so many RINOs in the administration. When I heard that I stopped the vid there and unsubbed immediately. I'll probably listen to what he has to say when the Russians make their big move, but until then I just leave him until I'm sure he doesn't stick his foot in his mouth like that again on a subject I know he's competent in.
