Shocker. Like we didn't see this coming with US manufacturing already stretched thin. Wonder if this is about Ukraine supplies or just general readiness across the board.

Probably both, honestly. I work in logistics for a defense contractor and the lead times for specialized components have been insane for months.

Oh, so NOW they're warning us? Not like, a year ago?

They've been warning about production capacity for ages, this is specifically about *shipment delays* for existing orders. Different thing.

This is exactly what happens when you let your own defense industrial base atrophy for decades, then expect the US to carry the whole load. Europe needs to step up its own production, yesterday.
