Between the Ukraine and Iran wars the United States government spent the majority of its normal stockpile of anti-missiles defense missiles. There is just 45% of the dwindling stockpile of Patriots and 20% of THAADS remaining; one to four are required to build replacements. Ukraine martial law President Zelensky wants those remaining missiles to shoot at Russian missiles. It would be better if he would just sign off on peace with Russia, resign and go live some place on the south of France.
"Out of prewar inventories, remaining stockpiles are estimated at 900 to 1,270 Patriot missiles and 70 to 170 THAAD missiles."-AI overview
Depleting America's anti-missile defense capability to a substantial degree in order to fund a superfluous protracted war of N.A.T.O. expansion and hegemony is not intelligent. Obviously the Democrats would be too happy to fund the Ukraine boondoggle. The 'reasoning' goes; Patriots only cost 4 million each and THAADs 15 million- a drop in the bucket of the U.S. public debt of 40 trillion.
