I honestly don't believe the US could actually sustain a war. We have lots of fancy toys but no manufacturing capacity. They'd get take out sooner or later and can't be replaced without exotic and hard to manufacturer parts.

I mean ww3 or a war against a similarly sized country.

I might not mean they are running out, it probably means they've obtained air superiority so they are switching to cheaper munitions that slow bombers can carry.

It’s more honest than secretary of defense.

If Israel can carpet bomb and genocide Gaza with impunity, why the US would lose the opportunity to do the same
