In an alarming revelation during his recent interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, President Joe Biden admitted a concerning shortfall in the U.S. ammunition supply.

His decision to supply Ukraine with controversial cluster munitions, despite dwindling domestic munitions stock, raises serious questions about the President’s strategic acumen and overall fitness for office.

The President, in a statement that many believe could undermine national security, revealed, “This is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it.”

Amid the mounting geopolitical tensions, such a public admission may compromise the United States’ position of strength on the global stage.

Despite some NATO allies banning cluster munitions, Biden defended their delivery to Ukraine, labeling it a “difficult decision.”

This decision, coupled with his potentially damaging admission about the state of the U.S.’s munitions reserves, has elicited widespread concern.

The concern is not confined to conservative circles, as critics from all political spectrums question the strategic wisdom behind Biden’s move.

Byron York, a political correspondent for the Washington Examiner, argued, “President Biden is not particularly clear but seems to be saying the US is sending cluster munitions to Ukraine because we are running out of 155mm artillery ammunition to send them. Seems obvious this is affecting US readiness to defend itself.”

Adding to the chorus of concern, political commentator Ian Miles Cheung opined, “Joe Biden wasn’t supposed to say the quiet part out loud: ‘We’ve run out of ammunition’. But now that the cat’s out of the bag, one must ask whether continued support of Ukraine’s military is even feasible as the conflict rages on.”

Questions about Biden’s age and cognitive capabilities are not new, but this incident has fueled those concerns further.

Critics argue that the President’s admission and the potential ramifications point to a lack of prudent judgment, leading many to wonder if Biden’s advancing age might be a factor affecting his decision-making ability.

Despite these criticisms, the White House attempted to downplay Biden’s comments, assuring the public that the U.S. is not, in fact, running out of ammunition.

An anonymous White House official told Fox News, “Everything we send to Ukraine is in excess of that. So, the U.S. is not running out of ammunition ourselves.”

The administration’s attempt to walk back Biden’s comments may be little more than damage control.

Critics argue that the President’s remarks have already created a potential national security risk by disclosing sensitive military information.

This incident underscores the ongoing debate about Biden’s capacity to govern effectively and the potential implications for U.S. national security.
