Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
All those billions in “aid” packages, the U.S. couldn’t throw in some bullets?
I think it’s particularly interesting because ammo companies prioritize military contracts first before civilian markets, but prices for ammo for civilians are pretty stable despite being this close to November in an election year and doing everything for Ukraine lol. It seems like they’re just chilling.
The ammo Ukraine is desperately low on is for artillery (and apparently the artillery guns themselves). I don't think they're low on small arms ammo.
Also, as an aside, the American in the article is an instructor for the 3rd separate assault brigade AKA Azov lmao. Fighting in a fascist brigade for muh frEeDoMs and dEmOcRacY!!
They probably don't want hogs another reason to get mad at something else being expensive.
No ammunition is already expensive it’s been expensive since 2020. It just hasn’t gotten MORE expensive.
Nah it’s been expensive since 2020 and people keep buying it because they fantasize about being an individualistic warlord in the apocalypse so they refuse to band together to boycott or strike and instead keep buying at gouged prices
