The Pentagram wants $10 billion to buy weapons in order to replenish the stocks they wasted in the Ukraine.

The Pentagon wants the US Congress to allocate $10 billion to compensate for weapons it has delivered to Ukraine and to replenish its own stocks, American media reported on Monday citing senior officials.
Unless the deficit is covered, the “ongoing hole” will put a strain on the US military itself, one source told Politico. The White House has requested over $60 billion in supplemental Ukraine assistance, but the Republican-controlled House has stonewalled repeated calls by US President Joe Biden to release the money.
The official said the “big funding piece waiting in the supplemental” needs to be approved for the US arsenal to be replenished. Otherwise “it would come back on our own readiness, on our own stockpile, to a certain extent.”
The $10 billion shortfall was created due to the differences between the listed value of weapons drawn from stockpiles and the cost of replacing them with new ones. For instance, if older munitions are sent to Ukraine, the Pentagon will replace them with a newer and more expensive version.
This is all such a corrupt scam. They sent all these weapons over to the Ukraine so they could later say they need more money to replace them. This money if approved will all go back to the war contractors to make more weapons.
There’s a small handful of people who benefit off of these wars and that’s why they lobby to keep these wars going. Without wars, these war contractors can’t make money to build new weapons and enrich their stockholders. They also charge outrageous amounts of money for their weapons and are totally ripping off the American people with this abject and disgusting corruption.
