The problem is precisely that those trillions have been spent buying "better" weapons. What they should have been spent on is factories. All the lessons of WWII have been forgotten.
- JoBrad 7mo agoI agree that the US is wildly overpaying for what it gets, but from what I can tell we are directing that money to US-based factories. Just because those factories are also producing improved weaponry doesn’t mean they can’t produce more basic ammo, albeit at lower volume. We don’t need full-scale production capacity when we’re not in a large-scale war.
- MrDrMcCoy 7mo agoMy point is more that we're not building factory capacity for the sorts of sustained output a large war would require.
