God help us, because the government certainly won’t.
Well, here's the thing... The US General may be right about materiel, in fact, that is certainly the case, and is being displayed in Ukraine; materiel matters.... Any yet, Ukraine as well shows that it isn't just materiel that matters, that intent is as important, or more so than materiel... and guess what, the UK, with all of the dysfunction of committing commercial sepukku with Brexit due to the spread of lunacy arising in recent years with the Tea Party, and Trumpism, that even then it was the British that in spite of having a fruit bat for a PM that week, (the guy with the cheap hair do... whatever his name is, I forget, a few back, it was last year... many PMs ago... ) That Boris (remembered!) the Buffoon found fortitude to support the needs of Ukraine.

So... yeah, more materiel and munitions in ready stocks, and more investment in security, (no more to Boeing please... anyone else than them) is desirable, but then the USA has a continued stench in the HoR and Senate that is a greater risk to global stability than anything that can be dreamt up in our heaven and earth, horatio. Seems to me that a rapid test for crack cocaine might be in order for the incumbents of the US government and the system that elects them, which seems to have developed more Benedicts and Arnolds in recent years than existed in 1776.
