How much steel do we use each year to build tanks and ships?
How much steel we use isn’t really the important point.
How much steel we will *need* in an emergency, is the real measure.
That’s hard to quantify, but to a couple of signficant digits, the answer is “a lot”.
I guess Free Traitors have eliminated all wars. Tell me could China out produce us in a real war? I think so. I guess a lot of guys would have to die while we REBUILT our factories in an emergency.
