re: What if China and Russia set up rocket launchers pointing to USA from Canada or Mexico?

Simply looking up the largest ammo producers in the world will show that we can obtain any amount necessary at any point in time from a plethora of allies. It's a non-issue for the US.

Cost isn't an issue either - as seen from this administration, they can print whatever money is necessary under our noses and just increase taxes, and the price of goods and services to pay for it.

Except that it is.

At any rate, if that's true, then why didn't they just do it? Why are they openly talking about shortages; in particular, with in regard to artillery? Not even a year ago, elites were openly talking about the supply chain problem:

quote:

“This is an artillery intensive fight,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told CNN last week. “You know, we’ve seen large amounts of artillery be employed on both sides of the fence. And so that puts a strain on the international supply of munitions, artillery munitions.”

Were so "desperate" that we're sending cluster munitions that will add another blow to the already tainted reputation we've managed to build with this idiotic war:

quote:

---

But US officials became so concerned in recent weeks about the US’ ability to resupply Ukraine that President Joe Biden decided to send Kyiv highly controversial cluster munitions. The move was politically dicey and risked alienating European allies, many of whom have banned the munitions because of the risk they pose to civilians.

From the article

And that's laughable that you seem to think that we literally will just keep having a "blank check" as it were. Sooner-or-later, you either have the industrial production capacity or you don't, and there's good evidence that this conflict will be long over before we even catch up.
