The NATO countries are retooling as fast as possible for a major war with Russia as we speak. The US has been providing the bulk of the arms. These were not strategic stock piles. For the most part we cleared our junk drawers and closets of arms and gave it to the Good Will essentially. Keeping up aid to Ukraine buys NATO more time to prepare and hopefully deter Putin from even thinking about challenging Article 5. If this is a leftist plot...its a dumb one.


Is that why the bill includes 23 billion to replenish the junk stock piles?

How much of that is to replenish arms directly given to Ukraine? What percentange of the total amount given is that number? 20%? So yea it was a lot of stuff that was mothballed. The point of his question was is this a leftist plot to SIGNIFICANTLY weaken the US by draining our strategic stock piles. Our strategic stock piles are not drained. Being low on 155mm shells isnt leaving us without the ability to fight a war
