If you argue that the burger reich doesn't have the capability to invade a country you are ignoring what is happening just right now and you are downplaying the threat. US government isn't running out of munitions, a prolonged Iran war could lower their stockpiles to a level that could make the country more vulnerable (war industry propaganda to boost military spendings)

    The US is absolutely running out of munitions. The reality is that the US lacks the industrial base to keep up with the rate of use. Industry accounts for mere 9.5% of the economy. Steel production in the US is barely higher than Russia, and the US is unable to produce stuff like rare earths on its own. People seem to buy into the mythology the US has created around itself, but numbers don't lie.

    "According to a deep dive by defense writer Mike Fredenberg, along with all the other diminished capacity, the standard missile (SM-3) variant was down 33% "

    Their definition of being low on munitions is that they don't have enough to win ww3.

    Again, given the rate of use of these missiles, it's quite clear they can't keep this up for long. Each intercept takes at least two missiles, and production rate is nowhere close to the use rate. Thousands of missiles might sound like a lot, but that's really a few months supply.
