I hope/assume this is sarcasm on your part. I have to assume that someone is telling leadership that it’s great we’re helping the UKR forces but we still have to defend our own asses first. Right now I don’t believe Russia is going to go past UKR but no one is giving core ammunition stocks unless they are already a speed bump in an advance. Lend/lease and selling ammo is fine if you can afford to do so and can make more which seems the England can’t speed up.. Nobody planned for this and if they could it still take months to years to ramp up production and logistics. For example, I believe Iraq may still owe Russia billions of dollars for the shiny, brand new tanks and vehicles we destroyed in the 1990 Gulf War. Russia asked Iraq not to go to war with the US led forces but they did and we made Swiss cheese in the desert. So we are in a catch 22 with UKR now with providing lethal aid and making sure the can pay for the toys after this feud is over.

The curious thing is we did very much plan on this. This little war has actually been going on since 2014.
