– Biden Finds $300 Million In More Arms For Ukraine Even As Pentagon’s Own Stockpile Diminished:
The US Department of Defense has admitted not only that it is out of money to procure replacement weapons after vast amounts of America’s weaponry were shipped to Ukraine over the past two years, but the US defense budget is vastly overdrawn, to the tune of $10 billion.
In focus here are dwindling US stockpiles for America’s defense needs, and yet as The Associated Press reports Tuesday, the Biden administration has almost magically come up with hundreds of millions more (found some “cost savings” we are told)… for Ukraine:
The Pentagon will rush about $300 million in weapons to Ukraine after finding some cost savings in its contracts, even though the military remains deeply overdrawn and needs at least $10 billion to replenish all the weapons it has pulled from its stocks to help Kyiv in its desperate fight against Russia, the White House announced Tuesday.
It’s the Pentagon’s first announced security package for Ukraine since December, when it acknowledged it was out of replenishment funds. It wasn’t until recent days that officials publicly acknowledged they weren’t just out of money to buy replacement weapons, they are $10 billion overdrawn.
