Misleading. The US lacks the capacity to meet Ukraine's full artillery ammo needs while also maintaining US readiness *at the moment.* The US Army has asked to upgrade that specific manufacturing capacity for a while, both to help Ukraine and to be prepared for future wars. Vance voted against it.

"The US lacks the capacity to meet Ukraine's (needs) while also maintaining US readiness" sounds a lot like "No matter how rich I get, I can't afford to share."

It's fundamentally outrageous to read a US Senator from Ohio of all places saying we should allow a murderous authoritarian Russia to invade its neighbors because we *lack manufacturing capacity*. For shame. The UAW should picket his house, but it's a long drive to DC.

BS. Russia did not achieve a 5-to-1 artillery fire advantage while the US was actively supplying Ukraine. Russia achieved that, and perhaps more, only now, months after US stopped sending ammo. Artillery fire rates were about even earlier, and would be again, if US provided aid Vance votes against.
