The actual article: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/weapons-contractors-price-gouging-pentagon-60-minutes-transcript-2023-05-21/
No mention of Russia or $800 billion.
It's not even how you spell the guy's name.
Get better at propaganda.
Literally the first thing he says in the 60 minutes interview is that US is lagging behind Russia in producing munitions, meanwhile here's the DoD budget which is 842 billion.
On March 9, 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration submitted to Congress a proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Budget request of $842 billion for the Department of Defense (DoD), an increase of $26 billion over FY 2023 levels and $100 billion more than FY 2022.
Get better at trolling.
bro do you actually spend all day doing this?
what's the pay?
wow that's so original
I'm just saying bro, you on the career track. You keep making these numbers you'll get your Christmas bonus FOSHO
the fact that you actually took the time to write this comment says a lot about you as a person
awwww. kith me beybe. let's make up.
You intentionally posted some derived work that showed the actual interview in the background while some random guy told people what to think. Just post actual news.
What I posted is a clip from the 60 minutes interview with a Pentagon official responsible for procurement who plainly states that US lags behind Russia in ammunition production. This is actual news, not sure why you keep trying to pretend otherwise. Wonder what your agenda is here. π€
That isn't what you did, and you know it. It's someone else speaking over the video footage. Someone who couldn't even spell the interviewee's name right.
Nothing that I said is factually incorrect. Ukraine is currently firing 110k shell a month:
US is hoping to produce 20k shells a month at some point:

Meanwhile, here's the number of shells Russia was producing monthly before the war started, this has since increased
So, once again, I have to ask you what you think you're disputing here.
