Former East Bloc NATO members have been arming Ukraine with Soviet-designed equipment similar to Kyiv’s existing gear.
That has permitted a military housecleaning of their own arsenals on a scale that would have been unimaginable months ago. In turn, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will help its eastern members replace those arms with newer ones, greatly improving efficiency.

US defense companies will be operating flat out for years, maybe 1-2 decades.

Where are their IC chips going to come from?
The idea that you, or anyone, can see two decades out is comical.

Everybody wins!

Russia’s biggest unintended consequence is now the certain entrance of Sweden and Finland into NATO, particularly Finland. They did not want NATO on their borders and now they have an extended border with NATO. Putin’s massive blunder.

And making Russia much richer from far higher priced oil, natural gas, fertilizer etc sales.
The Russians have been fighting long drawn out wars for centuries. I’d back them over Dementia Joe any day.

At this time, our biggest enemy is us. And yes, we are slowly being picked off like fish in a barrel.

No one but Taiwan has such top tier fabrication. (Speeds)
Do you think China will not react to NATO expansion as well?
China knows they would be next after Russia.

Yep, and you can be sure that some other former Soviet states like Georgia and Moldova are going to look to get on the fast track to NATO membership too. Putin telegraphed that he views any non-NATO member on his border as fair game to invade, so there is no downside for them anymore.
