The current lack of munitions is not due to the bill not passing, it is due to past and current abysmal logistics, theft and lack of manufacturing capacity. America has been deindustrialized and it shows.
Play devils advocate here please.
What does the US and its allies in support of the Ukes HAVE that could be supplied instead to compensate for lack of parity in artillery tubes and shells? Bombs and the means to deliver? Missiles of all sorts?
Could the West deplete stocks of non intuitive weapons for the Ukes to use while crash manufacturing millions of drones plus things like cluster bombs and fuel air thermobaric bombs that really sap the morale of the opponent? If the West is serious (and UT hasn’t shown it yet), why aren’t Russian railways, bridges, pipelines and shops being mysteriously destroyed, sabotaged, and sunk in much greater numbers? If we really have been reverse engineering alien technology at skunkworks/area 51 out West, we are getting a poor bang for our bucks in this conflict.
Above perhaps all, we could abandon any greenie pretense of decoupling from oil and L.N.G. and massively drill and produce to drive world prices down to where Russia starves on what it gets from its oil and gas exports. How does Russia run its economy if oil is $20 a bbl for years?
Just my two cents and I’m no fan of corrupt Uke leadership but less a fan of Putin-run Russia. I think we should have added Russia to NATO in ‘91. Their people are a good fit as friends and allies and they could have modernized their country and growm wealthy from exploiting Siberia. Same with the Nork people.
