Before we get into the question of how long it will take to replenish U.S. military stockpiles depleted by Joe Biden’s ongoing aid to Ukraine, let’s first catch up. My colleague Streiff has written extensively on the Russia-Ukraine War, including the eagerness of Biden and the Democrat Party to fund the endless war.
Here are several of Streiff’s reports:

Take a couple of U-Hauls over to Afghanistan and drag a few million dollars of US military leftovers back to some place they would be of more use.

Wish I'd have bought stock in these munitions manufacturers.

A conspiracy theory is not the avenue I usually like to follow. However, I can't help but wonder if Ukraine has a Swiss bank account. A secret locked box that contains a thumb drive with incriminating evidence that FJB and his son have commited treason. It will stay locked as long as The Big Guy forks over $billions and $billions for their war effort. Otherwise the floodgates will open and they will bring FJB to his knees. It makes sense. Why else is FJB wiping this guy's butt with our $billions? Besides when you throw around that much $cash you know that a lot of people are getting kickbacks on so many levels.

All weapons with explosives or rockets have a very finite shelf life. I'd like to know exactly how long those weapons had left on their shelf lives.
When I worked with the scientists at White Sands they told me that all their rocket sled runs free, were powered with outdated rocket motors from various air-to-air and ground fired missiles....all 'dangerous junk' the day they reach the end of their shelf life. Normally they are burned in the desert.
At least some of the munitions were like milk that's been in the refrigerator for two weeks....use it soon, or toss it out.
And the military vehicles are outdated surplus, in general. 60s vintage M113 APCs and early model, superceded and retired Bradleys aren't something that we will ever use again.
Quoting the dollars that were paid new for munitions with little shelf life left, or surplussed and superceded fighting vehicles when counting the value of the weapons given is dishonest.
Try telling the IRS that the 1995 Chevy you donated to charity is worth it's original new price and you will get audited and a fine.

I'm sure Biden keeps at least on pair of freshly washed undies ready for waving in case China attacks Taiwan.

This has to stop. Why are we getting into this war between Ukraine and Russia? Start calling your senators and congressmen

Enough is enough. Better to fund a wall on the MEXICAN border and a notice to shoot to kill all Drug Cartel dealers

Ukraine has the goods on Biden. This is nothing more than a payoff for Ukraine to keep their mouth shut.

Before the 2020 elections I told my stock guy, if biden wins, buy gold and oil stocks, overseas oil stocks that is. If Trump wins, ROLL THE DICE!! He talked me out of it.

Ok #3 so that you can feel better about your theory try this one on for size. Between burning down our military hardware, curtailing our energy production and delivery infrastructure, depleting our oil reserves, we are being positioned to capitulate to China on the basis that we can't win for lack of resources.
As for our ability to replenish, we have gutted our manufacturing base so there's no industry to even convert to arms. Example: In the 40's Singer Sewing machine manufactured M1 Garands. Now they make their sewing machines in, wait ior it....China.
Our dependency on those stockpiles can't be over stated.
I sincerely hope it's a simple money grab so the industrial military complex gets to rake in more by replacing everything and China has purchased enough influence to take Taiwan unopposed. Yea, that's my upside theory.

Of course he will give them the money. If he doesn't, the whole Burisma mess will be totally revealed and more of the Biden's misadventures there revealed,

I am going to continue to say this but what the heck with all these Iraq and/or Afghanistan combat Republican veterans elected to Congress such as Rep Michael Waltz (FL) who keep voting for all this aid to Ukraine? Already bought off by the military industrial complex? I know they say that we can take out Putin without directly confronting Russia and then who replaces Putin?

We won't know until China attacks and the US Military is left holding empty rifles and our F-15s are sitting on runways with empty fuel tanks. No joke.

It's odd that Congress under Nasty P. could shut down legally approved funds to President Trumps Wall construction, but can never shut down defense spending. Too much money in all that defense spending, I guess.

Nazi Germany had many sophisticated expensive weapons which required extensive production time. The allies defeated them with cheap mass produced weapons.

Lots of moving parts in play--- ALLOW and INVASION to overwhelm the means of taking care of everyone to house, feed, educate, and give medical attention to those who get preferential treatment over AMERICANS, then deplete out Strategic Oil Reserves, THEN prevent U.S. from defending ourselves, and you have many other factors in play as well.
To quote Poor Richard:"When the well's dry, we know the worth of the water". We are squandering our heritage and future posterity at an exponentially alarming rate---- like taking a mess of pottage NOW instead of a maintaining a blessing laid out for us by past generations!
