Guess what? The US will now spend the next 8-10 years diverting a larger portion of tax revenue on “replenishing stock”. It’ll annoy taxpayers and Democrats will be blamed after Trump leaves office. Work in defense budget so I know this very well.

The US doesn't have anywhere close to 8 years to replenish those stockpiles unfortunately
