The problem US has now though is that they sent much of what they had to Ukraine over the past two years. US manufacturing base is simply not able to keep up with the scale of the conflict, and so US has been steadily draining existing stocks. Last year it got to the point where US had to plunder shell stocks in Japan, Korea, and Israel. If a serious conflict flares up in the Middle East then US is going to be caught with pants down.
