Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Russian Activity or just MOAR DIE Stupid?
I report, You decide:

Link to the story HERE
Of course a lot of the ‘chatter’ out there is comparable to when all the food processing plants and ckikinz processing plants were ‘mysteriously blowing up/burning’. MY take on it at this point though is no one back then was talking about the ¡Muh Diversity! potential for just plain old stupidity.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”
Hanlon’s Razor
So, since we’ve now seen the knock on affects of out-of-control ¡Muh Diversity! in many many other industries (coff!coff!BOEING!) I just wonder if this was ‘nother case of some dumbass failing to utilize the most basic industrial safety precautions? I mean to be fair, casting 155mm shell casings involve liquid steel which last time I looked was a very hazardous material to be working with.
Might be that a recent diversity hire done fucked up maybe?
Hard to say.
So, one thing top keep an eye on however is if ANOTHER piece of critical National Defense Production Infrastructure has a bad case of “-suddenly!-” and burns/blows up/catastrophically explodes without warning within the next, oh say 8 weeks? as a timeframe?
Places to watch next:
• Crane Army Ammunition Activity, (CAAA) Crane, Indiana
• Holston Army Ammunition Plant, (HAAP) Kingsport, Tennessee
• Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, (IAAP) Middletown, Iowa
• Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, (LCAAP) Independence, Missouri
• McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, (McAAAP) McAlester, Oklahoma
• Pine Bluff Arsenal, (PBA) Pine Bluff, Arkansas
• Quad City Cartridge Case Facility, (QCCCF) Rock Island, Illinois
• Radford Army Ammunition Plant, (RAAP) Radford, Virginia
The Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania just got hit. Makes you wonder if this wasn’t intentional as Ole Scroteface Joe is “from Scranton” Might be a message in this maybe?
The following is a breakdown of “who makes what where”:
Scranton Army Ammunition Plant PA (SCAAP) manufactures large caliber metal projectiles and mortar projectiles.
The Radford Army Ammunition Plant VA (RAAP) in Radford produces rocket and gun propellants.
Holston Army Ammunition Plant TN (HAAP) manufactures Research Department Explosive (RDX) and High Melting Explosive (HMX) for ammunition production and development. ( I literally used to live across the street from this place)
Iowa Army Ammunition Plant IA (IAAAP) produces and delivers component assembly, and medium- and large-caliber ammunition items (fuses and primers and the like)
Lake City Army Ammunition Plant MO (LCAAP) produces ammunition for ALL military small arms, as well as a significant amount of ammunition for civilian use. This is the most modern and up-to-date plant and probably one of OUR favorite places IMO
McAlester Army Ammunition Plant OK (McAAAP) provides Centralized Ammunition Management for training ammunition and contingency stocks for Army units in the southwest region of the U.S
Crane Army Ammunition Activity (CAAA) IN produces and provides conventional munitions requirements
Pine Bluff Arsenal, (PBA) AR is where they do the manufacturing of incendiary grenades and bombs, and the manufacturing, loading, and storage of war gases; and production and storage of pyrotechnic, riot control and white phosphorous munitions, i.e. the really nasty shit.
Quad City Cartridge Case Facility (QCCCF) IL per the name, produces brass and steel cartridge cases.
AND THATS PRETTY MUCH ALL WE GOT!!!!
Any wonder we can’t supply shit to the Krain?
All the HE and shit made in Kingsport TN has to be shipped, by train, to Scranton PA, for all the explosives be loaded into the 155 shells (literally, empty steel shells) where then after they pack in the HE to the shells, they all get loaded onto ANOTHER train, and set to Middleton IA for final assembly, and inspection. Hell, that should make some folks nervous as to the condition of our rail systems too amiright?
So if another one of those plants goes up, well, Logistically speaking, we’re fucked. I mean we already are but call it “Double Sooper Dooper Fukked” if we lose any MOAR capacity to make ‘stuff’ that feeds the beast so to speak.
Under current conditions, besides the shell manufactory going up, I’d personally say that it’s Radford that’s utterly critical at this point to keep running. “Rocket Propellants” being something that’s going to be in great demand as –something-is needed to fire off those Iron Dome, SM-1/2 ADA, Patriot and other Anti-Missile-Missiles. No gas? No defense. Which also means (((our greatest ally evvar))) by rights and in MY ‘umble opinion should be pulling security on these plants. The $7.50 an hour rent-a-cop Paul Blart sure doesn’t give a fuck…
The Krain should be doing likewise for the places that’re making ‘stuff’ to produce the 155mm shells they so desperately need/want, but the problem there is once here stateside, they’d bail into the vastness that is ‘Murica, never to be seen again, as it’s gotten that bad in the Krain…
Otherwise, it is what it is… The Izzies are making heap big smoke per usual about the “lawless strike” and how they’re going to “hit back”… Meh. Shut the fuck up already. Talk about exhaustion… it’s only the end of Tuesday, and I’m wore the fuck out already.
So off to bed early.
More Later
