The Pentagon is warning Congress that it is running low on funding to replace weapons the U.S. has sent to Ukraine and has already been forced to slow down resupplying some troops.
I am similarly skeptical of this. No doubt there is some congressional funding mandate to maintain some level of readiness. I’ve also been told that the arms going to Ukraine were things we were going to be replacing anyway, so that it is apparently leaving the US armed forces undersupplied kind of makes that sound like it was a lie.
The problem isn’t that the US military doesn’t have the ability, but that it needs Congress to authorize the expense.

Hey hey - stop remembering things!
That was a lie and anyone who believed that needs to reconsider where they get their news.
