Maybe because we don’t expect to need them.
Concern is being expressed on the Internet in various blogs that because we’ve sent so many different munitions to Ukraine, that it will take five years at a minimum to replace some, like the 155mm explosive cannon shell, and maybe 15 years to get fully restocked on things like Stinger missiles.
Perhaps so, but that doesn’t mean that our inventories are all depleted, because only the Department of Defense knows what we still have. But if we are nearly out of much of this stuff, it’s with the consent of our admirals and generals, and that would only happen if they knew we weren’t going to need it anyway.
If they fully expect Ukraine to win the war against Putin’s armies, and they do, it will mean the end of Putin, and Russia will either collapse into a totally non-threatening condition or be brought fully into the Globalist fold, or both. That only leaves China to deal with. That’s why the US and EU are so involved in aiding Ukraine.
Turkey’s Erdogan has been a serious problem, with his non-stop string of power plays, but that’s only because he’s had Russia backing him even though Turkey is a member of NATO. Thing is, Turkey was in NATO long before that asshole got himself elected and started turning the country into a dictatorship. So with Russia shut down as a threat and as an ally of his, he’ll be all alone out there and I’ve no doubt he’ll then quickly come to terms.
When Russia is no longer a viable ally of China, it will come down to a stand-off between China and their few, poor allies in Africa and South America, against the West. Also on our side will be much of the Far East, because the CCP has been so aggressive against those nations, stealing their fishing grounds, attacking their territorial rights, threatening them. The CCP has been buying friends with loans and infrastructure projects, but friends you buy are never as solid and real as friends you make, and some of the recipients of those loans and infrastructure would love to take back their ports and oil fields that the Chinese confiscated when they couldn’t pay back the loans.
Those abused and angered nations just might ask to join up with an alliance of other Eastern nations. I can see Vietnam jumping for a chance to do that after all the harassment they’ve gotten from the Chinese Communist regime.
Back to munitions depletion, could it also be that we’re building all new types of weapons, that everything we’re sending to Ukraine is or will soon be obsolete and we won’t need more of it in the future? The fact is, we are building new weapons of new types, that don’t necessarily explode to cause damage.
The Globalist plan is emerging here for me, at last. I could be wrong about all of this but like Occam’s Razor, the simplest and most obvious is usually correct.
