Absolutely shocking story about the failures of industrial policy that have now manifested in NATO ammunition shortages in Ukraine. Years ago the U.S. government basically decided that artillery shells are obsolete and stopped making them. Now Ukraine is outgunned in a war of attrition with a rival that never gave up producing these types of cheap munitions necessary for grinding warfare. American defense contractors are too focused on cashing in on shiny gadgets often more useful for counterterrorism than fighting a genuine war.

"but, but, drones..."
they said

let's all be honest here
neither U.S. nor NATO has ever "fought" a war since Vietnam War
rather, they just bullied their way against weak countries, in which they still didn't really win from a cost perspective, e.g. 20 years in afganista ended up being kicked out by "sheep herders" taliban

meanwhile, china, russia, iran, and north korea are all watching closely

the military industrial complex and defense contractors are making weapons to help U.S. win wars, but to sell for profits
