Summary
The top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee sounded the alarm that President Donald Trump launched a war without having enough weapons.The 79-year-old president fired off a Truth Social post Monday night stating that the U.S. military had a "virtually unlimited supply" of munitions that would allow the war to continue "forever," but he also blamed former President Joe Biden for giving away too many weapons to Ukraine."Sleepy Joe Biden spent all of his time, and our Country’s money, GIVING everything to P.T. Barnum (Zelenskyy!) of Ukraine – Hundreds of Billions of Dollars worth – And, while he gave so much of the super high end away (FREE!), he didn’t bother to replace it," Trump posted. "Fortunately, I rebuilt the military in my first term, and continue to do so. The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!!"Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) cast doubt on the president's assurances on the third day of Operation Epic Fury."Well, I think at first suggests to me that we do not have an unlimited arms," Reed told "CNN News Central." "The president is trying to put a good face on a situation which, not immediately, but certainly within a weeks or months, we're going to run into a crisis of having sufficient arms. That is why over the last year, the Department of Defense has been investing significantly on increased arms production because, even without this conflict, they anticipated that we would not have adequate number of arms for a major conflict.""I think the president is simply trying to dispense with the real problem, which is that at some point we have to start rationing our arms, and again, the question is, when is it – this week?" Reed added. "Is it five weeks? Is it five months? The whole question of unlimited termless war is something that we face. I don't know of any war in the Middle East that has been short and sweet, other than the 1991 attack against Iraq. But that was limited by President George Herbert Walker Bush himself. They were they understood they didn't want to go all the way to Baghdad, a mistake that was made by his son George W. Bush."
