    The really fun part here is that the US is rapidly burning through their existing stockpiles of ammunition, and they lack the industrial capacity to replenish it at the rate it’s being used now. It seems that the US leadership is not aware of the problem.

      I fear that this will result in a lower threshold for the US to use ABC weapons.

          Atomic, Biological, Chemical.

          Though I’m more familiar with that as NBC (N being nuclear), so it’s possible that I’m misinterpreting what REEEEvolution meant.

          The US has huge arsenals of all of these weapons, a shortage of conventional ammunition would be the perfect excuse to use them to defend the “rules based international order”.

            Dispite the later 2 being illegal for a country to even posess and the first legal for a contry to posess but illegal to use… so one has to wonder, what rules are there in this “rules based order”?

          Usually it should be NBC which stands for nuclear, biological, chemical.

          I’m guessing here they meant atomic, biological, chemical.

            There’s also “MSNBC” - Mass-Slaughter Nuclear Biological Chemical and “CNN” - “CIA-Nurtured Nazis”
