More plausibly, US has now run through its stocks of weapons sending them to Ukraine, and doesn’t have the weapons to send.

That is the most wildly implausible thing I've read on Lemmy today.

Western media openly admits that US isn't able to keep up with ammunition production for Ukraine. Try keep up with the real world.

Yes, but that only applies to artillery shells and there's a very good reason.

Try keep up with the real world.

I do, which is why I know that things like JDAMS are entirely unconstrained. The U.S. has hundreds of thousands of them lying around.

Not really unconstrained given that US has delusions about fighting China. Also, how many of those still work is a question.
