The U.S. Army is complaining that Congressional gridlock is preventing it from fully flowing U.S. weapons to both Ukraine and Israel. “One thing that is really important in terms of the munitions in particular, and our ability to support both potentially the Israelis and the Ukrainians simultaneously, is additional funding from Congress to be able to increase our capacity,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told reporters yesterday at the annual meeting of the Association of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. “In terms of our capacity to expand production and then to also pay for the munitions themselves, we need additional support from Congress. So I hope we’ll see that soon.”
In the Senate, pro-war senators from both parties are looking at working up and passing a year-long package of somewhere between $50 billion and $100 billion for Ukraine, to insulate the weapons flow from politics until after the 2024 election. “I want to be one and done,” said the lunatic Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). “I want to get them through next fighting season, through next year, so the Russians would realize this gets worse for them, not better.”
