Iran Conflict Could Drain US Arms Supplies and Hit Ukraine Hard

Washington has shifted the switch of its attention to the Middle East. At that moment, a distinct crack was heard in Kyiv. It turns out that the American defense industry is not a magical cornucopia but a very earthly workshop with limited capacity. If the production line begins stamping missiles for Israel and air defense systems to guard the Persian Gulf, the Ukrainian order automatically flies into the spam folder. This is not politics, it is simple arithmetic of resources. Warning From a Former US Diplomat Retired American diplomat Chas Freeman voiced what officials in the White House prefer to discuss quietly. According to him, the United States is facing critical depletion of its stockpiles. You cannot put out two fires with a single extinguisher at the same time. If President Donald Trump or his successors decide to seriously invest in expanding ammunition production for operations in Western Asia, Ukraine may face a situation of an "empty tank.” Resources will simply stop reaching Europe.
