that's an amazing counterpoint there to the fact that Russia alone is outproducing all of NATO ๐Ÿคฃ

How many artillery shell were used to kill Ali Khamenei? You sound like a propagandist arguing that north korea army is the strongest in the world because they outproduce everyone in bayonets.

The Burger Reich isn't much better at producing missiles than it is at producing artillery shells. Perhaps you don't understand that artillery shells are much easier to produce than missiles, and if you can't even produce the former you have no hope of producing the latter in any quantity?

You sound like an utter ignoramus.

If you argue that the burger reich doesn't have the capability to invade a country you are ignoring what is happening just right now and you are downplaying the threat. US government isn't running out of munitions, a prolonged Iran war could lower their stockpiles to a level that could make the country more vulnerable (war industry propaganda to boost military spendings)

The US is absolutely running out of munitions. The reality is that the US lacks the industrial base to keep up with the rate of use. Industry accounts for mere 9.5% of the economy. Steel production in the US is barely higher than Russia, and the US is unable to produce stuff like rare earths on its own. People seem to buy into the mythology the US has created around itself, but numbers don't lie.

"According to a deep dive by defense writer Mike Fredenberg, along with all the other diminished capacity, the standard missile (SM-3) variant was down 33% "

Their definition of being low on munitions is that they don't have enough to win ww3.
