After decades of neglect left its stockpiles “far too shallow,” the United States is undertaking a massive revitalization of its munitions industrial base. Spurred by the demands of supporting allies like Ukraine and Israel, Congress is pouring billions into the effort.

I just heard to day that least 400,000 Ukrainian Troops have deserted, if true the war is going to come to an end soon.
Won't need much because it'll get nuclear at that point.
Most wars will be like Israel fighting Iran.
One sided.
A war between "near peer" such as the Russia-Ukrainian war, we're not fighting that kind of war.
It’d take time to convert to a military production. Lots of time. We just don’t have the industrial base like WW2. And we’re not making simple Shermans, Mustangs or Essex carriers this time around.
There are folks who still know how to do this. It’d take some time but we could re-train, or train new folks to get up to speed.
Fair statement. I do not and don’t trust any numbers being floated. It may be for our own politicians corrupt purposes but I don’t like that the West portion that cheerleads the Ukes, does not put up what it promises. They should get out and Ukraine will fall or not on its own; likely fall. Or they should be all in with support like their mouths are talking. If the West truly intended to support the Ukes like they bluster and proclaim, there should be Manhattan-project Moon Landing style ramp ups in drone and artillery shell production and there are not. What has been stepped up is too little too late even to prolong the war significantly, much less turn it in favor of Ukraine. Unless i’m missing some game changing weapon or tactic that is silently being deployed to do so. Putin may indeed be replaced but I see no imminenent signs of it and have no reason to believe that his replacement would discontinue the war and withdraw.
Our interest in the war is Russia.
punish the US taxpayer first.
please turn off all weapons to ukraine!
America first...
mic still has too much influence.
