>*American defense officials have warned that their arsenal of ATACMS is relatively small, and the missiles have been committed for other Pentagon war plans, in places including the Korean Peninsula. Only about 4,000 ATACMS have been manufactured since the missile was developed in the 1980s, a Lockheed Martin spokeswoman said on Tuesday. Giving them to Ukraine would risk readiness in the other hot spots.*
Well at least that, along with the high unit cost, is more or less understandable. But as far as the usual “escalation” BS argument goes, I thought we moved on past that already. If Putler wants to nuke, I doubt that a handful of ATACMS will affect his decision one way or the other.
That said, I doubt that giving Ukraine at a dozen or two to deliver tactical strikes on the enemy’s logistics could seriously affect the readiness of South Korea or Taiwan either. The time of debates is over. Now is the time of action.
Don’t quietly. And send immediately.
JUST EFFIN! DO IT! As an American taxpayer, it will be the best taxpayer money ever spent. Help our allies win for christ sakes (I do know we already gave a lot but still) Slava Ukraine!
200 out of 4000 would be plenty, plus Ukraine lets the U.S. pre-approve the strikes.
Send the ATacMS!
Long range is critical, we see it with Storm Shadow **air launched** missiles.
Long range **ground launched** would be a nightmare for the occupiers. This is a big advantage that ATacMS have, which are launched from HiMARS.
Don’t announce any delivery. Just have one land on a Russian general somewhere.
I’ll bet that Old Joe’s arm is going to be sore in the morning. I’m sure a few NATO members were twisting his wrist today. Ukraine is probably going to start getting a few unexpected goddess soon
Oh ffs, give the Ukrainians 100 of those, betcha we’ll learn how to more effectively use (god forbid) the remaining 3900.
Send everything you got, or in six months we will be sending troops to Ukraine.

Quit debating and make a command decision. Should have done this about 8-9 months ago
I know the U.S has a limited amount of ATACMS. But Can’t we send a little bit or restart production of it slowly? Asking reddit friends for guidance.
do itttt
How about sending a few hundred? I like to think we could spare it. That leaves thousands still.
Give them already
Obviously not THAT quietly… 😂
Stop fucking debating. Send them what they need.
They could always make more. Even if it takes time I doubt China would ivade Taiwan tommorow
DO IT DO IT DO IT PLEASE ‼️‼️‼️‼️
As a fax paying citizen I 💯 percent approve of this.
Send now
it always starts off this way they’ll get them eventually
Do it Joe. Make me proud to have voted for you.
There should be zero debate about it. Just send them.
I encourage any US citizen to send a message.
