Folks may need to recalibrate their presumption of US weapons inventory.
It is popular to imagine that the US has sent only old and inferior weapons to Ukraine and has far better ones that will change everything on the battlefield.
Not likely. This derives from the perpetual presumption of US technological dominance. It doesn’t exist.
Besides which, if you want to kill large numbers of troops, what you need are large numbers of pounds of explosives. The US does not have that. It doesn’t locally exist and it’s not a matter of money. The raw materials are scarce outside Russia and Kazahkstan.
There are millions of available U.S. cluster artillery shells stored in South Korea available for President Trump to ship to Ukraine.
There are millions of U.S. cluster artillery shells available in Turkey, too.
We are tooling up and increasing production. Have been for a bit.
Gaining in some areas of arms.
However you’re correct in that while we are probably in a better shape than we were a few years ago.
Trump is going to learn a very hard lesson. His bluff and bluster is running out.
