Who to be mad at for Ukraine's ammo shortage
I woke up this morning trying to figure out exactly what the new immigration bill does, discovered that it’s mostly just a bill funding foreign wars, heard rumor that Ukraine may lose ground because of low ammunition, and saw everyone blaming Republicans for Ukraine’s impending loss unless they vote for the bill. This curious chain of reasoning demands further inspection.
Let’s set aside that the total outlay for US border security in the immigration bill is less than what’s earmarked for funding both sides of the Gaza war, shelve the immigration side of the bill entirely, and look specifically at this contention that Republicans are evil and will cause Ukraine to lose their war with Russia by not giving them enough free bullets. We can easily test that contention with mathematics.
They are all making strategic decisions about whether to send bullets based on their own
national defensemoney laundering interests
If the politicians of that country don't need to defend their laundromat, no bullets are sent.
