Running Low on Weapons for Ukraine, US Pivots to Stolen Iranian Ammo

Both US and UK weapons storehouses are nearly bare. Takes a lot of firepower to keep the Russo Ukraine war going in perpetuity. So many hundreds of thousands must die to protect US European dominance. What to do?

While the UK will simply stop sending weapons they don’t have, the US has gotten creative. They’re sending Ukraine weapons they stole from Iran last year to fill the void. The first shipment of 1.1 million rounds perloined from an Iranian vessel last year were sent Monday. In the works: 9,000 rifles, 284 machine guns, 194 rocket launchers, 70 anti-tank guided missiles and 700,000 more bullets, all “Made In Iran – Swiped by Uncle Sam.”

America should wise up. When the weapons cupboard is bare, you can only steal so much to keep a failed proxy war going. That begs the question. Which will expire first… US weapons or Ukrainian soldiers?
