#1 So what. As long as it is doing what it purchased for, its doing the job. The fact is someone else is putting fire on the originally intended target with it doesn't mean its not doing what it was intended for.

#3 Well since it seems the administration is set on getting as close to war with Russia and China as it can, better start ramping up those factories, shouldn't ya?

#7 Since Biden is calling Americans terrorists it's nice to know he is already running out of ammo.

#8 Given how little has been sent to Ukraine, the nation has been derelict in setting aside stores of ammo. During the Korean War, the daily ammo expenditure before the Chinese jumped in was 20,000 rounds a day. After the Chinese got involved? 100,000 rounds. If 806,000 round to Ukraine is enough to deplete US stores, we have a real problem. That's 8 days' worth.
