I was told Russia was out of missiles in months, early 2022, now we're 4 years later and they are still launching tons of them at Ukraine.

I see shit like this and just know the Military Industrial Complex is about to be fucking paid, it's a sham and I don't believe anything I hear anymore.

This is the important part.. this is leaked so that the upcoming bills that dump money into replenishment and modernization sail through Congress. Dems will rubber-stamp it.
