The War In Ukraine - US Running Out of Weapons

Feckless Joe Biden has approved providing Ukraine with American tanks.  Tanks made in Germany  sitting in various countries are also going to Ukraine.  Russia will destroy those tanks by air as soon as they cross the border into Ukraine, guaranteed.  While Russia sees tanks coming into Ukraine as an escalation of the war by the West, they will have little impact on the war.  Tanks are sitting ducks relatively easy to take out from the air or by hand held bazookas.  Ask the Russians that lost hundreds of their tanks in Ukraine.  

Aside from the billions of dollars we are providing Ukraine in weapons and humanitarian aid, the US is running out of weapons since we are using our stockpiles to get them weapons quickly.  There was an approved order that was supposed to go to Taiwan from three years ago that has not yet been delivered.  The Military Industrial Complex cannot keep up with weapons orders not to mention the shortage of computer chips.  It will take five years or more to replace the weapons we and our allies have provided Ukraine.  Even if we wanted to, we certainly are not positioned to defend Taiwan from attack by China.  Hell, we are not prepared to defend our own country other than using nuclear weapons, which might be our only option. 

The fact is that the longer the war goes on in Ukraine, the more likely that the Russians will use tactical nuclear weapons to end the war because they too are running out of weapons.  As of now Ukraine has not advanced much to push the Russians out of Ukraine.  It is estimated that both sides may have lost more than 100,000 soldiers each not to mention civilians in just one year of war  To put this in perspective, we lost 58,000 soldiers during the 8 year war in Vietnam and about 4,000 soldiers during the 20 year war in Afghanistan.  

Russia cannot allow this to go on much longer.  They will use conventional weapons to destroy all of Ukraine.  And, if that does not result in surrender, they will be forced to use tactical nuclear weapons.  If that happens all bets are off.  War hawks in our country are pushing NATO to attack Russia and destroy their navy based in the Black Sea.  This would result in World War III that would not last long because nuclear missiles would start flying.  While we certainly can destroy all of Russia, European capitals would be devastated and so would American cities. Somebody with a sound mind, and that is not Joe Biden, better stop all of this as soon.  

President Trump is urging negotiations with Russia.  It is the only way to stop the insanity.  We should invite Russia to join NATO in exchange for exiting Ukraine.  It is the only way to get peace in the region.  And, it is the best way to counter China, our real enemy.  Of course, the warmongers in the DC Swamp need Russia as an enemy to line their pockets.   So, don't expect any new thinking.
