    LOL . You didn't bother to look at the link from a retired admiral stating that the US running out of ammo in May 2023 or the link from Feb 2023 from a retired marine colonel saying the same thing or the link from Sep 2022 by Centre for Strategic studies saying the same thing. On one of the links they specifically referenced 155 shells. "Classified info" ! LOL

    Totally silly, but I'm glad to see you referring to Putin as the enemy... a great first step.

    So, just out of curiousity, what do you think Putin's next move will be, vis-a-vis our temporary shortage of 155 ammo? Invasion of Toledo? Nome Alaska?

    “We are low” is pretty non-specific. I’ve been reading that for months. It’s hardly a big reveal.

    From Jan 2017 until Jan 2021, the ONLY standard that MAGA applied to the POTUS was, “was it illegal? If not, it’s ok.”

    So - did Biden do anything illegal? Hell - did he even say anything that wasn’t already public knowledge?

    And so should the left considering the toll this takes on the civilian population for decades! Hence 111 countries have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions to outlaw their use.

    On the US sending these "cluster munitions" to Ukraine, I understand why it's controversial, but it seems to me like a perfect marriage of a country with ample amounts of a type of munition unlikely to be used otherwise (USA), and an invaded country who seems perfectly willing to use them on their own homeland to retake parts of their country back (Ukraine).

    Did he reveal a military secret? I thought this was public knowledge.

    Really? Have you not been following the articles pointing out we were getting "low" on this type of military supply last fall?

    Your comment is idiocy by almost any standard....

    So you think America should destroy its entire stock of cluster munitions? And see gun the Convention?

    I'm against cluster bombs. I've read about the effects on Iraqi children. 20 million were dropped on Iraq and children are still being blown up 20 years later.

    I hear that and it's certainly a tough call (and not the point of this silly thread). I can see both sides here, but in this unique case of using them as almost a defensive weapon on your own soil by your own military, I think the scale tilts slightly towards using them. If they start using them on Russian soil, which they richly deserve BTW, then I might rethink....

    Also have to believe the dud rate has been reduced in 20 years, but if it hasn't, a free Ukraine (hopefully) will have some serious clean up to do in the future...

    Maybe so. Now it’s official. Before it was speculation.

    Really? You are going to trust this senile old man with knowing how much 155 ammo the US currently has compared to target levels?

    Seems like a stretch to me, since he can barely stay on a bike or keep Ukraine separate from Iraq....

    He'll probably call the left's daddy over in China and ask for advice and more munitions. Anyone can play your ignorant game. If you really can't understand why the military doesn't tell thy enemy they are running low on munitions, you're not worth the time. That being said, feel free to keep that nose in Biden's butt explaining away every dumb incoherent thing the man says. I was really impressed with King Charles leading him around like an old feeble dog in england. Probably saved us yet another embarrassing fall.

    Now I'm really confused... was Joe saying we might be low on a certain type of ammo treason or incoherent?? I've seen that entire range of possibilities in this very thread....

    Why do you think Putin would wait for this non-story to ask China for more advice and munitions?? Do you think there was a meeting in the Kremlin, with somebody saying "Hey, Biden says the US is low on 155.... NOW is the time to ask China for more munitions to use in Ukraine" (although in Russian)

    Does that make any sense to you??

    I'm all for it. We should send FAE weapons, too; if we haven't already.

    Ukraine has also been using them on their own population centers.

    So you don’t believe he said it, don’t think he knows? Not sure what you’re getting at.

    It’s now official that we are low… Not sure that confirmation of speculation is a good thing, when one is speaking on how much ammo one has, when you’re supplying a war effort against an enemy.

    Headline should read

    Senile Old Fart in White House Reveals U.S. Short on Artillery Ammunition

    This isn't a morale boost for America's enemies - it's an intelligence boost, and there was no reason other than Biden's mental incompetence for revealing it.

    Clearly, he was never fit for office, and this is just another reminder of that fact.

    Not only is it bad, it's stupid and it's unnecessary.

    God only knows what that raving idiot is going to blurt out next...
