The United States has shipped about a third of its existing arsenal of Stinger anti-air and Javelin anti-armor missiles to Ukraine

Ellen Lord [...] said Stingers cannot be replaced “within the next couple of years” because its production line has been shut down. Even simple items, such as diodes, used to regulate voltage for these systems could be difficult to obtain.

“Even with Javelin, we are probably five years” away from replenishing that stock despite its manufacturing line remaining open, she added.

World class economy. 5 years to replenish 1/3 of its stockpile...

I honestly think one of the main points of shoveling all these arms into a country with known massive corruption and black markets was for the majority to end up in extremists hands for many years to come. all to help destabilize Russia and China.

Yes, it's not like it's first time they are doing it, it's one of the staple part of their politics, which they were doing everywhere in Asia, Africa and C/S America.

Now imagine the region without Stalin moving borders and peoples. USA would make Yugoslavian war look like a picnic in comparison.
