The US depleting missile stocks actually makes production and logistics even more critical. They barely churn those things out, they aren’t JDAMs. Just something cool for imperial core leftists to think about when walking past the murder factory.
all the money they throw at trying to increase production will just disappear into black holes, too. for all intents and purposes this stockpile is never getting rebuilt
every missile built will be factory-earmarked for a target that was chosen months in advance
It’s a win for those who actually matter: the weapons merchants as now the US not only needs to buy a ton more to refill their stocks but they’ve demonstrated that those stocks will be rapidly depleted so they can demand multi-decade contracts expanding production and dumping money into these companies to do just that.
