Sabotage?

I don't know!

The ones who did it.....

must hate America if you know what I mean.

May be it was an "accident" who knows!

That must have been the result of Biden's "unprecedented job growth" the left keeps babbling about. Most companies I've seen are hiring some genuine fucking idiots these days. Probably a diversity hire.

I was gonna go with "sabotage", but Occam's Razor.

Bet you thought I was going to say it was "sabotage", right?

whatever it was, it is no good news!

Biden let the saboteurs in our back door....

It's either sabotage or dei ineptitude, and I doubt that's a false dichotomy.

Oh well, I guess. Those artillery bodies probably weren't being made for domestic use anyway. They were probably going to end up in Ukraine, leaving us short.

It will only be judged as sabotage if the current administration can use it to their political advantage. Either way, I don't trust the government to tell the truth.

I really don't know!

I'm thinking more.....on the lines ....of domestic use?

But that's just an opinion!

Sabotage?

What I'm guessing, some of Joe's Chinese friends

I don't know if I'm right or not , but I read that's the only factory in all the US that produces 155ml artillery shells!

Anybody knows?

 

[Failzero]

There is only one Factory that Repairs / Reconditions our main battle Tanks

I could tell you, but then I'd have to throw a hood over your head and throw you in a black van.

I know better than that. There's others. At least there were last I knew..


Even from the OP:

"This is one of only 7 production arsenals that produce military munitions for the United States military. There are a total of 17 JMC facilities in the U.S"

 

[Muhammed]

That plant had recently had a $243 million upgrade to increase production.

It supplies the US, France, Norway and Germany.

But it's OK. We have massive stockpiles of those 155mm mortar shells. Or at least we did before Biden gave over a million of them to Ukraine.

Multi events.
Two is a coincidence but three is a pattern .

Same as food processing and water .
