Biden Strips US Weapons Stockpiles

Not like the US will be invaded or anything, right?

...Ahead of the Zelensky meeting, the Biden administration on Thursday announced $5.5 billion in new aid for Ukraine, drawing billions from defense stocks. As part of the new aid, Biden pledged to Ukraine a Patriot defense battery and expanded F-16 pilot training.

He also said $2 billion for Ukraine would be purchased through the defense industry.

Biden directed the weapons to flow in the billions rather than the standard packages of a few hundred million because an extension of his drawdown authority was not included in a continuing resolution passed by Congress this week to keep the federal government temporarily funded through Dec. 20....

Obviously, the US has too many weapons in its inventory.  That's what Harris & Biden think, anyway.

Good thing we'll never really need those, eh?

It's not that they think we have too many - they don't want us to gave any
