We don't have enough tanks to send to Ukraine, Pentagon admits:
Biden's promise to send 31 Abrams could take up to a YEAR -
because the US has to buy more

Biden announced US would provide Abrams tanks as 'continued
support'

It follows Germany's announcement of its plan to send 14
Leopard 2 tanks

But the Pentagon doesn't have excess Abrams tanks to provide

. . .

WTF ????

Neither Germany OR the USA has "enough spare tanks" ???

Who said wars were over ?

And what would any NATO members have to counter China ???

What we're looking at here are PAPER TIGERS - hollow armies.
Just enough to put on parade ...

Whomever created THAT trend should face treason charges,
tangible assistance to The Enemy.

Realistically, the Abrams isn't as suited for the eaestern European
plain as we thought. At 70 tons it's the heaviest of MBTs. The mud
of Ukraine would kill it or it would be killed on the roads it
traveled on. Remember how the UA made mincemeat of Russia's tanks on
the road to Kyiv? And how Russia's armor sank in the mud during the
spring thaw? It would go even worse for the Abrams. I suspect that's
the real reason for delaying the big, American tank.

As far as paper tigers go, that, in one sense is a good thing. It
means there aren't many countries capable of invading other countries.
A sort of gradual global disarmament that's left the US with the only
military capable of succeeding at such a thing.

Unfortunately, Russia has flexed it's muscle, all one of them, and
it's being slowly, painfully sawed off. China is arming rapidly so
that needs to be dealt with. Ultimately, and this is a *cultural*
comment, not a racist one, Russia is going to have to choose between
European culture or Chinese culture. Already China's economy, at
17.7T is seven times Russia's and it's population is 9 times Russia's.
Beijing will swallow Moscow and pick it's teeth with the former SSRs
in central Asia. Europe will accept Russia as a community member. If
Russia fails to integrate with the west, with eurocentric culture,
China will swallow us all up anyway.

Really, you shitfaced mouthbreathing clown? Remember 10 years of 'Nam
and 20 years of Afghanistan? Please tell us how capable were you in
invading other countries?

MUAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

50 year Anniversary of "Operation Linebacker II" that ended the US
imperial ambition in Vietnam.

Vietcong SAMs shot down 15 B-52 raiders in 12 days of Richard Nixon's
illegal US bombing of Hanoi, North Vietnam.

We are also low on missles, other weaponry and China Joe is selling some of our oil to China while
buying back what he let loose at much higher prices.

The man is an idiot.

China is now cashing in on all the money they fed the Biden family.

Germany is smart enough to lay low. They still remember WW2 and Russia. Unfortunately this country
is stupid and has forgotten.

Does Germany know about, or remember, the 'firebombing of Dresden and
Hamburg'?

Then do you know those were war crimes committed by the US against
Germany because Dresden and Hamburg were civilian cities and all
casualties were German civilians?

Half a century ago. We've learned a lot since then.

We occupied the entire country, which Russia never did, for two
decades losing less than half as many troops as the stupid Soviets
lost in their ten years in Afghanistan.

Unlike Russia in Ukraine, we made no attempt to annex.

Yet we successfully ended Soviet imperial ambition there and Vietnam
is becoming a US ally in SE Asia for fear of growing Chinese power
that Russia is helpless against.

>illegal US bombing of Hanoi, North Vietnam.

And Ukrainian SAMs have so badly damaged Russia's airforce that
Pootin' has forbidden his aircraft from flying over Ukrainian airspace
for fear he'll lose all six of his stealth aircraft.

LOL!

Russia hasn't learned anything since The Great Patriotic War except
how to get drunk and fuck your sister.

Aww . . . you're only saying that because you're an idiot.

We sell thick, high sulphur oil abroad and buy "sweet" crude from
abroad in order to comply with US emissions regulations.

We have already given authority to private defense contractors to make
150MM artillery shells that only the govt has been allowed to make
until now.

Where is Russia going to get more arms? Kim just turned him down for
more help and Iran won't ship anything without cash up front.
Meanwhile 70 countries are helping Ukraine.

>I am an idiot.

I said that already.

>China is now cashing in on all the money they fed the Biden family.

Maybe they'll buy back all the steel Trump used in his buildings!

HAW HAW HAW HAW !!!!

>Germany is smart enough to lay low. They still remember WW2 and Russia.

Which is why they've beefed up their future military budget and begun
sending tanks to Ukraine

Pootin' is SOOOOO fucked!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

If they didn't want to risk loss, they shouldn't have started a war.

Ditto Pootin'.
