> the frailty of US munitions stock
There's noting frail about it. It's just unable to support the insatiable appetite that every administration seems to have for dropping them on people.
Perhaps we need a "second source" for rationale, diplomacy, and the rule of law.
- ifwinterco 4mo agoExactly, the issue is not that the US produces too few missiles, it’s that it uses too many
- chii 4mo agoWithout the bombs and muscle sitting behind, diplomacy is merely just talking with no results.
- themafia 4mo agoYes and when you start dropping them diplomacy ends. Do you have a position on whether or not the US engages with diplomacy often and effectively enough to avoid dropping munitions on the third world? Do you have a position on Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction" or Colin Powell's missing "yellowcake?" Did we find Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan? Did we win Vietnam?
