Well, most of the time that’s true. It’s a call for the government to spend another 100 billion dollars on 5000 dollar trash cans and like, 3 planes.
But there really is a gaping weakness right now, in a more mundane way, one they don’t like to advertise much. The US has burned through a massive amount of their munitions stockpile, and the suppliers they use to replenish it are honestly terrible at making things lol. US productive capacity for the actual fundamental tools of war have been hollowed out by capitalistic grifting.
