The survival of this comment is ironically impacted by its bizarre tangent into populist conservative rhetoric

Should note that the talking points mentioned weren't in terms of for our against only that they are prioritized over production capabilities.

I think the lack of production capability is extremely detrimental to security. This should have been the major lesson from supply issues during COVID IMO.

Improving production independence shouldn't be a politicized issue and should be a broad concern. Not to mention the context of picking fights with relatively powerful foreign nations.

So in your oppinion the US, despite being not at war, should make as much munitions as a country that is very much at war?

It's about capability more than current production. And given they're supplying arms to two separate wars, one of them against the country in question, it does matter.

I'm not supporting either war, or even applying either. The limitations on domestic production capability are absolutely concerning.

Not just in terms of arms, but medication and technology. This should have been a key lesson learned from COVID supply issues.
