Some important munitions, like anti-ship missiles, might last only a few days, said the eight-person commission appointed by Congress.

    Reads like it’s just trying to drum up more spending on military i.e. it’s propaganda from a firm invested in mooching off the government.

      Seems to be perfectly in line with the fact that US can’t even keep up with Russia in terms of military production.

    Obvious solution: order more from China.

    When I read articles like this, I have to wonder: Either these people are complete lunatics or arms dealer lobbyists.

    Why did countries develop their nuclear arsenals again, ensuring mutual destruction in case of war? So that we now stockpile stupid amounts of ammunition for imaginary wars between powers that can destroy humanity for good if such a war ever happened? We should again sacrifice millions for what? There’ll be nothing left worth defending.

    So no. I will never prepare am mindset for war. It’s the utmost idiocy.
