    I’m only responding because I actually read the article you linked. Lmfao.

    Did you just Google us production and paste the first link that came up without reading it?

    From the link YOU provided:

    The push comes as the U.S. has supplied Ukraine with more than 1 million artillery rounds, and as Pentagon officials see the war in Ukraine continuing indefinitely, further draining stocks for the U.S. and allies. Bush said it’s unclear what the Ukrainian military’s mid- and long-term needs will be, and the U.S. Army wants to be ready.

    “We are in a position to support Ukraine, but it’s more the mid and long term,” Bush said. “By creating this capacity … if this war goes three or four years, we’ll be in a position to just vastly outproduce the Russians all by ourselves ― and if you combine that with our allies, then we’re just dwarfing their capability. They won’t be able to keep up.”

    That comes from December 2022.

    FROM THE SAME SOURCE: Pentagon budget aims to max munitions production, make multiyear buys just a few months ago.

    That goes over a whole plan to ramp up production over MANY different weapons and munitions.

    Oh, and that 11% manufacturing thing you threw out in another comment?

    Bro. USA GDP in 2022 was like $20 Billion. Yes, with a B. Look up the top ten economies of that year. Still with only 11% manufacturing that’s $2.2Billion.

    Russia came in 11th at 2Billion. Our tiny 11% manufacturing would come in at 8th place on the world stage.

    Cope harder.
