I don’t think that America flitters from conflict to conflict running out of Tomahawks and so on and just hoping for the best from Russia and China and North Korea until we can replace them, I think those numbers are of a shallow level of stores open for the world to basically know about and share general knowledge of.
I think there are stores that we don’t know about is what I was posting, the deep stores for us to fight a war of survival that is not part of what we think of as our military stocks of public numbers and discussions and the numbers shared globally, including with Russia and China.
About 3 years ago I came across a gov document that seemed to mention the hidden levels but with details, I should have saved it.
You speak of a war of survival. Should that come to pass, I can assure everyone that our ability to manufacture would amaze the world. During WWII, we were launching a new transport ship every day. We certainly weren’t doing that before the war.
Start spending 20-30% of our GDP on war production and see what happens, quickly.
