Breaking Defense: US, NATO weapons stockpile ‘dangerously low’: USAF General
“So we don’t have nearly what we had at the heart of the Cold War. Now you add that we’re giving a lot of munitions away to the Ukrainians — which I think is exactly what we need to do — but now we’re getting dangerously low and sometimes, in some cases even too low that we don’t have enough,” said Gen. James Hecker.
WASHINGTON — Amid a high tempo of arms transfers to Ukraine, the stockpile of US weapons and those of allies are getting “dangerously low,” the commander of US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) said today. And worse, he warned, no “short term” fixes are on the horizon.
Speaking on a panel with the air chiefs of the United Kingdom and Sweden during the Chief of the Air Staff’s Global Air & Space Chiefs’ Conference in London, USAFE Commander Gen. James Hecker, who also leads US air forces in Africa, urged fellow North Atlantic Treaty Organization members to take a hard look at the status of their weapon stockpiles.

They can and would fight a major war , the difference with the U.S over russia and ukraine is what they aim for , they hit.
The ammo shortage is temporary. Un less invaded or destroyed, production can be ramped up.
If production is not ramped up it means that NATO politicians are more interested in welfare spending than defense.
Welfare spending is not for the poor and down trodden. Welfare spending is for the rich and for politicians. the proof is that before said politicians lift one group out of poverty they gather more and more groups to "help".
In the US 1/3rd of Blacks are poor. So what do the politicians do? Invite in 5 to 10 million poor people without skills. is that fair to Blacks. No. But it WAS NEVER ABOUT THEM BUT ABOUT HOW TO ACRUE POLTICAL POWER AND KEEP IT.
The western politicians are using a Iranian strategy. The Iranians were accused of creating chaos in Iraq by funding both Shia and Sunni terror groups. People noted the funding of Sunnis and opined that it would make it hard for the Iranians both in the present and the future. The Iranian response was that they can deal with the chaos better than the US and its allies.
Democrats, RINOS and some business associations are creating chaos with unchecked immigrations. They want cheap labor and voters. They can bring in more new voters than voters, who are disgusted and turn away from them. They can survive the chaos better than the average voter or "nativist" parties, because they have enough money for private security and live in gated communities.
Killing in war is not considered murder. Likewise, the Iranian strategy in Iraq could be argue to be not immoral. but faithless execution of the law and changing the laws afterwards to get unfettered immigration to secure your power in perpetuity is immoral.
Nice analysis.
As for the ammo shortage. A combination of Piss poor planning and you cannot fix stupid.
You’re not gonna get anyone to build a new production line for shells in the west. It will have to be government operated since its profits cannot be guaranteed.
The people who run the country guide us into wars to ensure their private profits; there is literally zero chance that they would allow publicly owned production lines into that space.
We’re better off supporting drone production that can be repurposed for civilian use during peacetime.
Russia, China and Iran will encourage Biden to be the next President
