This article makes no mention of Russian sabotage, but the Russian military has been caught sabotaging similar munitions-manufacturing facilities in Europe. Incompetence might be sufficient to explain the failure, but it also seems reasonably likely that there was an undetected sabotage operation or two mixed in to compound the problems.
Oh dear it is the Russians again. They are to blame for everything.
Are they to blame for the US Army's acquiescence to Repkon's refusal to allow them to see production lines in operation, or are Repkon manufacturing artillery shells for Russia too?
For those about to ask the obvious question, the company that built the plant that charged half a billion dollars in exchange for not much of anything at all donates between $3 and $5 million per year, more or less evenly split across parties but slightly favoring republicans.
War is a racket. Under the Trump administration it is an even bigger racket.
"Repkon said other countries were using the machines to produce the older model. But the Army and General Dynamics could not inspect those active production lines, Repkon told them, citing customer privacy."
Can you believe this? Both the US Army and General Dynamics paying 100s of millions to a subcontractor whose production lines they are not allowed to inspect "citing customer privacy"?
Even your supermarket chain is able to inspect their subcontractors production lines producing their in house brands and the US Army can't?
I guess the "kon" in Repkon says it all, ie their "Rep"utation is a "Kon".
America's military is doomed.
Heard the news about sailors on the Abraham Lincoln rioting with 7 dead because of the shithole conditions on the carrier?
It's a good thing that the US isn't involved in any wars or anything like that. Otherwise Americans might start asking why they've been spending $500+ billion/year on defense and are running low on munitions, can't achieve strategic victories against supposedly weak enemies, etc. /s
That is a massive misrepresentation, and arguably intentionally deceptive to support a narrative. One can read the blueprint for themselves and come to your own conclusions.
A non-profit teamed up with a heat-pump installation marketplace (VoltHub) and a heat-pump contractor to put together a group buy. No money comes from the government. It's just some folks teaming up to help buyers get leverage on manufacturers, and save 10-20%.
The beneficiaries are installers, technicians, homeowners, and anybody who likes more efficient hvac.
It's actually a pretty solid example of what people who don't want the government involved _should_ support.
The "About" and "Leadership" sections of the website show that there is government involvement, and the "Funding Partners" section shows that the CEC (a state government entity) is providing funding.
It's just a game these liars like the play. A concerned patriot asks a simple question like "why are we funneling hundreds of billions of dollars into the pockets of the military industrial complex and yet still running out of munitions?" and instead of actually dealing with the meat of the question, they just gesture at school lunches or some other domestic investments and claim it's the same thing.
exabrial, like all Trump supporters in 2026, is a craven fool who likes watching the Trump administration hurt Americans and wreck our institutions. They can't bear to see anyone criticize their beloved leaders, or point out the damage these morons have done, so they just make up a new lie every time they see valid criticism. It's just intended to be a distraction.

> Are they to blame for the US Army's acquiescence…
I mean, their favored candidate is said army's Commander in Chief.
Per the Trump administration's own intentionally released docs! https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-declassif...

Made at least one Congressperson or similar happy, can bet that.
I saw this movie. Schindler's List, was it? History really does repeat itself.

At least that part seems wrong, as CENTCOM says no deaths: https://time.com/article/2026/08/14/uss-abraham-lincoln-cond...

If only it was as low as $500 billion. It’s at least twice that.
Yeah it's ~$1 trillion now. I should have qualified: $500+ billion/year for the past ~20 years.

I heard about this but could you elaborate? From the outside it seems like a nice idea to cut costs
He is simply incorrect.
