Comments by "John La Duke" (@johnladuke6475) on "Whitehouse Wants $33 Billion Military Aid for Ukraine" video.

  1. A tiny bit of news on a tangent to this video. Apparently those Gepard units from Germany are going to be hard up for ammunition. The Swiss would have to authorize the re-export of the German stockpile. Double whammy is that Switzerland won't agree to that, and there's not enough ammo in Germany for a serious military action. The article I read suggested that the next most likely source of ammo would be Brazil, if they agree to provide it.

  4.  @GARDENER42  Just double-checked where that article was. Bloomberg, April 27th, titled Germany’s Ukraine Tank Plan at Risk Over Bullet Shortage. Features such gems as "There are only 23,000 rounds available in Germany, which would only cover 20 minutes of intense action...." and "[Switzerland] stood by its rejection of a request to transfer Gepard munitions on Wednesday when contacted by Bloomberg." Something may have changed since that news ran but if the ammo's not available they're paperweights that burn fuel.
