I think the lack of production capability is extremely detrimental to security. This should have been the major lesson from supply issues during COVID IMO.
Improving production independence shouldn't be a politicized issue and should be a broad concern. Not to mention the context of picking fights with relatively powerful foreign nations.
I'm not supporting either war, or even applying either. The limitations on domestic production capability are absolutely concerning.
Not just in terms of arms, but medication and technology. This should have been a key lesson learned from COVID supply issues.
