I am for the aid package for Ukraine and observe the sense of urgency that arises when the aid package is discussed.

Q: What is the source of this urgency?

A: The brave Ukranians are loosing hard won ground because they are running out of ammunition.

OK, urgency apparent.

But before we write that big check, one more question.

Earlier when this expenditure was being debated, its supporters pointed out the funding was mostly being spent within the USA, to pay US manufacturers to produce the munitions necessary to replenish US stockpiles that were depleted by prior donations to Ukraine.

So the question is, "How is the real-time ammo shortage in Ukraine going to be relieved by ammunition that is not even manufactured yet and will take years to fully replenish?"
