US admiral says wars in Ukraine, Mideast eating away at US air defense stocks
2024-11-20
[IsraelTimes] Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are eating away at US stockpiles of air defenses, the top US admiral overseeing American forces in the Asia-Pacific region says.

“With some of the Patriots that have been employed, some of the air-to-air missiles that have been employed, it’s now eating into stocks and to say otherwise would be dishonest,” Adm. Sam Paparo, head of the US Indo-Pacific Command, says during an event.

“Inherently, it imposes costs on the readiness of America to respond in the Indo-Pacific region, which is the most stressing theater for the quantity and quality of munitions, because the PRC is the most capable potential adversary in the world,” Paparo says, using an acronym for the People’s Republic of China.

Yes, America should focus on protecting its own Citizens freedoms, 1st and foremost.

Once that is assured, then and only help others.

Do you feel safe with OPEN BORDERS?

Do you feel American is Safe from the New-Axis China, Russia, North Korea and Iran call for attack on, or challenges of the USA?

Do you feel those in DC are concerned more about you and not both of the M.I.C.'s?
