      The problem isn’t that the US military doesn’t have the ability, but that it needs Congress to authorize the expense.

        I am similarly skeptical of this. No doubt there is some congressional funding mandate to maintain some level of readiness. I’ve also been told that the arms going to Ukraine were things we were going to be replacing anyway, so that it is apparently leaving the US armed forces undersupplied kind of makes that sound like it was a lie.
