And accomplished sweet fuck all

So glad we’ve been spending billions building and stockpiling these things for my entire life, only to run out after [checks notes] six months of bullshit that accomplished nothing.

Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS)

Count on the army to refer to their missiles as "attack 'em"s.

The billionaires need to pony up now so we can build more.

Becoming clear that the military industrial complex is actually a very badly diaguised kleptocracy, not that I like either option.

Yeah, the one thing this Admin can't hide at the end of the day is how much money has been evaporated between the war and whatever financial schemes they've enacted along the way. Hope the Repubs love paying for that

It's just exposing how the weapons belong to a dead end tech tree. The future of war is getting fragged by dollar store drones.

One man's shortage is another man's bounty.

It's a good thing we still live in a world where there's a rule of law and we don't have enemies that might take advantage of our military weakness and like attack us or something

This is what you get when you have an incompetent president whose only "strategy" is to use the military as an extension of his angry outbursts and an equally incompetent secretary of "war" who also believes the only thing necessary to solve the world's problems is an army full of testosterone laden christian warriors let loose with full abandon. And if it diminishes America's standing in the world or its ability to defend itself, all the better.

What would conservatives/regressives be doing if they weren't wasting all our money on things that don't benefit Americans?

It's almost like we should be voting for the other side that's proven to be better regarding our tax dollars and economy as a whole. But I guess we could keep voting for the side that's openly bigoted and really, really bad at managing money. You know, for the lols.

Why do I have a terrible sneaking suspicion, propaganda or not, that this will be used as an excuse.

Rumors are floating that Russia is toying with making a move on Poland, or perhaps a smaller NATO member. One theory is they're just posturing to detract from the situation with Ukraine and appear strong. Despite this, Ukraine relies heavily on assistance from EU/NATO countries for supplies/money. Even mildly credible threats may force some of those countries to scale back some assistance and focus on internal efforts, which impacts Ukraine's supply chain.

How does this tie in with the US? If a NATO country is attacked and goes Article 5...the US might try to use this as an excuse for lack of significant aid.

This just means we will transition to cheaper less accurate ordinance, killing even more innocent civilians.

Capitalism compromises national security.

Those missiles could have been put to an actual use, like arming Ukraine.

its soley used for targets that cant fight back.

I'm having trouble deciding if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

It would have been better for Ukraine to use them against Russia.

On the other hand, now it's less likely trump will start another war.

Mockheed Lartin is loving this.

Oh bot I sure love living in Taiwan right now
