American strategic policy is to be able to simultaneously wage four full-blown continent spanning wars at once spread around the globe.
Bruh they nearly run out of artillery ammo on a single proxy war. Entire US military is geared towards bombing defenseless countries and siphoning that “ridiculous amount of funding” you said into pockets of war profiteers. US military is exactly the same costeffective as US healthcare.
The issue of supplying Ukraine with artillery munitions isn’t that we don’t have the munitions. It’s that we don’t want to touch our stockpile and we never will as it’s not to be used except in the case of all out war.
And why do you think that is, genius? It’s because America and NATO don’t have the industrial capacity to replenish those shells in time.
Since we are not an howitzer based artillery dependant nation
Reality doesn’t work like that, there’s no such thing as an army that doesn’t rely on artillery in a land war unless you can get away with having air superiority against a nation that doesn’t have their own air force and air defen… do you see where I’m going with this?
howitzer based artillery is an antiquated tertiary weapon platform
I see that irony is not your forte. I’m trying to tell you that the US cannot get away with the “air superiority” tactics they did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc because countries like Russia and China have a lot of air defenses and their own air forces. Do you get it now?
This is an idiotic argument. Ukraine has one third of all western AD in Europe and it is still unable to fully defend against Russian drones and missiles. Smaller, lower flying targets are harder to detect and hit than big manned jets. They are also more expendable so you can afford to use them more recklessly. Drones are regularly shot down in great numbers or brought down by EW, if this happened to manned aircraft it would be a disaster. If the US tried using its jets against any country with halfway decent AD its pilots who took years and billions of dollars to train would start dying like flies, not to mention aircraft being destroyed that is thousands of times more expensive than a drone, and there would be the mother of all scandals back home. The US has no capacity to absorb real losses, it’s why they only pick on the most defenseless countries and non-state actors.
Do you understand that the reason that the US is having its proxy war in Ukraine is that…
The containment strategy against Russia is failed and they decided to fight back, yes
we get to test all of our equipment for free
I wouldn’t call throwing EU economies into recession and disarming NATO “free” lol
So far we are not impressed by the fact that Russia’s top of the line gear is being smacked down by our shit from 1990.
You live in fantasy land, Ukraine is getting pounded by Russia, abandoned by America and you’re still high off the MSM farts with stories of pensioners downing jets with rifles and Russian generals dying every week
However, as Russia is finding out, Europe does not need Russian energy.
Europe is buying Russian gas and oil at a markup from third parties like India to evade sanctions, America is literally buying DIRECTLY from Russia, both at above the “market cap” they tried to set lol
XD this is why they have no ammo because for them the primary weapon are political bribes and drones which are good again weddings, and other tools of terror and “short victorious wars”.
If it cost 200 times more for a single missile but you need to fire 200 artillery shells to accomplish the same result. Well, what’s cheaper?
Shells are way easier to produce than guided missiles, this comparison is asinine. Why are you comparing just the “price” of the two options? Have you also considered that artillery is not just for destroying things but also to deny control of an area or send support fire to a position? Good luck doing that with one fucking missile, I’ll take the 200 shells.
Liberals shouldn’t speak about things they don’t know at all, they shouldn’t speak ever

Good luck using the “new toys” without the munitions for them!
According to top US generals they’re actually stronger than before the war started, cope harder

America also pays billions for nuclear energy from Russia: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/14/climate/enriched-uranium-nuclear-russia-ohio.html

And that’s why it’s prioritized over artillery shell production, this way the MIC gets to launder more money. You’re almost self-aware.

Russia is only doing poorly in your cope fantasies, Russia won the war.
The vast majority of casualties in this war (just like in WW1) have been due to artillery.
But you literally do.
This never happened, it’s just propaganda to pretend that America’s wars are “more humane”.
Bruh US military do doubletap to murder rescuers and actively participates in nearly every genocide sinde WW2.
