"Among the deficiencies: components of solid rocket motors, shell casings, machine tools"

Between the "peace dividend" and "outsourcing", our defense industry is reliant on Chinese products.

But a swift response may not be possible, in large part because of how shrunken the U.S. manufacturing base has become since the Cold War. All of a sudden, Washington is reckoning with the fact that so many parts and pieces of munitions, planes, and ships it needs are being manufactured overseas, including in China. Among the deficiencies: components of solid rocket motors, shell casings, machine tools, fuses and precursor elements to propellants and explosives, many of which are made in China and India.

There's nothing sudden about this.

Congress, administrations and the defense industry focused on expensive big ticket items and new technology at the expense of the basics that would allow us to fight an extended war.

Oops. Who would have thought relying on overseas manufacturing so much would be a terrible idea?

you know we have this region called the rust belt that was impoverished when all of their manufacturing jobs were moved away maybe bring some stuff back there?

I know that. I’m just no so sure they do. Or want to. Remember the whole ‘deindustrialization’ idea these people keep pushing?

One thing we do not want being made for us is Bio-weapons. Oh look China reshored bioweapons to California.

How is this not major news, like 24/7 for weeks?

The politico article that’s in the quote. Who presumably got it from someone else.

Oh.
So it takes a war game.
Which is often made to be harder then it really would be to get congress to give us more money.

It is, quite literally, all lies. Rocket motors are made either in the USA or in allied countries, we literally can not purchase them from anywhere else legally. And that's just the most obvious example (you can find manufacturing locations on the websites for the companies doing it ffs).

They can nit make weapons for the US military if they are not US or allied.
He'll, we have many laws that make it clear cut.

You think the US government, specifically politicians, give a shit about laws if they can gain a benefit in some way (e.g. kickbacks)?

In this case yes.

And it is easy to prove the article wrong when you can do any simple Google search to any company contracted to make any of those things and find out...they are US...
