"Russia isn't the country we'd get into a shooting war with. Why would we? Over what?" - Dope1

Do you realize Russia has already threatened many of the Baltic states that are part of NATO? If Putin sees we are uninterested in defending Ukraine he might start thinking that we would be uninterested in defending parts of NATO. Especially if there is a certain president in office who has talked about leaving NATO.

"So who would we need ammo for? China. There are any number of potential flashpoints in the Pacific."

Part of the bill is for defense of Asia (Taiwan). In that part of the bill there is money to expand our countries domestic shipyard capacity which has dwindled far too low. This is a direct shot at China because any conflict with them would heavily be reliant on the ships and submarines of the Navy.
