Third of our entire stock and the manufacturers of those weapon systems said theyre not even going to be able to start manufacturing replacement systems for that until late 2023 or early 2024. now, in an era of great power competition, that puts the united states in a very tricky situation in which other adversaries can easily take advantage, china and taiwan or anywhere else. so from a logistical perspective its problematic, but a political one, yeah, its just a simple statement of fact. united...

Used in coordination with air. you see missiles hitting cities randomly. and the ukrainians dont have a great defense for that they wanted weapon systems, radar, and electronic warfare. the ukrainianses are being resupplied by the united states, so they have to implement heavy artillery and armor, they do have infantry. because they are defending home terrain, they have advantages there, the real advantage for ukraine is to strike the russians where the russians mass. like mariupol, that is a go...

When, how, ukraine uses the weapon systems it has is governed by international law, geneva convention and all of the rules of law, that is something we feel strongly about, but if it does so, it is perfectly right, ukraine, to use those weapons to defend itself and, part of defending itself in this type of invasion is obviously where ukraine will go after the supply lines of the russian army because, without fuel and food and ammunition the russian army grinds to a halt and can no longer continu...
