Bomb’s Away!
As it is today the US is dropping bombs on at least 5 different nations through multiple sorties per day…..and that has created a bit of a problem…..
Massive air wars in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan are just the beginning of the story for the United States military, with regular strikes in places like Somalia and Yemen, and constant risks of the US launching a massive war on North Korea at any moment. That’s a lot of bombs being dropped, and mostly in open-ended conflicts.
A year ago, the Pentagon was warning that it was forced to raid its world-wide stockpiles of bombs because they were using so many. Now,, they’re running through those too, and are using smart-bombs faster than they can buy them from massive US arms makers.
That’s a big problem for the Pentagon, because as already the biggest consumer of bombs on the planet by far, there isn’t exactly a ton of leftover capacity for them to draw on. That makes the US air wars literally unsustainable at current levels, because there just aren’t enough bombs on the planet to supply them all

The Defense industry runs non-stop and we still cannot keep up with the number of bombs needed…..does anyone see the problem here?

Thanx for the link….it is a great post….chuq
Economic forced peace or capitulation? ( I doubt it) Different approach or an excuse for more spending and pronto to fuel the bomb making industry? Just thoughts.

There is always money for more bombs…..chuq
So beautiful! Thanks!
Maybe I should have invested my pension in bomb factories? Looks like they are going to be the coming thing.
Best wishes, Pete.
It depends on how long we tolerate Trump…LOL chuq
If the Defense Industry is running at capacity and cannot keep up demand for their bombs, then I would say that the Defense Economy is booming, the people who work in it have some job security and if I were owner of a bomb factory I think I would be looking at expanding facilities and hiring even more people at decent wages.
Decent wages is not part of the equation….
The workers may disagree.
And then they may agree….
