Production increase is the number one reason I see as giving ammunition to Ukraine as an overall good thing. Long term contacts to spy Ukraine and replenish greater stocks to be ready for a war in SE Asia. Not giving out the contacts and not giving to Ukraine is not going to make us more ready contrary to the America first narratives.

Additionally, ammunition does not last forever. It expires and becomes less effective. Everything needed replacing.

We need greater and smarter manufacturing at scale.
