If you support Ukraine in its war with Russia, if you think the United States needs to defend Taiwan’s right to choose if it unites with China, then you need to support more money for defense. The Russian attack on Ukraine is a new kind of war. Actually, it’s not a new kind of war, but it is a kind of war that we have not seen for a long time. It is a war of attrition, which means it is a war of weapons, supplies, and ammunition.
We are rapidly using up our inventories of all kinds of weapons and supplies in supporting Ukraine. If we are going to continue to support Ukraine, we are going to need more of these things. Right away. And if we support the right of Taiwan to decide its own fate, we need to get supplies of these things to them – right away. Plus, we need to replenish our own supplies because who knows where else trouble might arise. There are countries and groups that might think now is a good time to take advantage.
