HONORED SOLDIER DEATHS
A national-security supplemental cleared a key hurdle Sunday in the Senate,
meaning it could pass this week despite some GOP opposition — though it’ll have
an even tougher time in the House.
Republicans in both chambers should vote for it.
They’ve identified persistent challenges facing the country, and none will
improve by rejecting the supplemental while passing it will address many.
Here are just four:
One, adversaries — China chief among them — and allies are measuring US resolve
and no doubt finding America wanting.
The bill includes money to produce weapons relevant against multiple enemies:
$16.1 billion will fund munitions useful in the Pacific theater and Ukraine,
with some to be sold to other allies and some co-produced with Israel.
This will help the United States collaborate with allies to weaken and deter
shared adversaries.
Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin did Americans a favor by showing
Putin’s utter disdain for the West.
It comes from a deep well of resentment and motivates his desire to break
the US-led international order. Xi Jinping’s China and the Iranian mullahs share
this aim.

REPUBLICANS VOTE WITH DEMOCRATS
Two, the United States does not have a sufficient defense-industrial base.
The supplemental devotes more than 60% of its funds to American workers and
companies to boost our own weapons stocks, deliver sorely needed weapons to
Ukraine and expand US manufacturing capability to produce more weapons at a
faster pace.
Before Russia’s February 2022 Ukraine invasion, America was woefully
ill-prepared to fight a protracted war with a major power.
Manufacturing plants across the Midwest, the South, and out West are expanding,
hiring more Americans and producing weapons that will be sold to allies like
Israel and strengthen allies in the Pacific like Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam,
India.
Strong allies willing to share the burden to deter aggression should be able to
buy the best weapons in the world from the United States of America.
This bill seeks to make that possible.
The country has a long way to go in addressing this shortfall, but the bill
includes major improvements like $3.3 billion for submarine industrial-base
expansion to get above two subs per year, which we need to bolster Chinese
deterrence.
Three, Americans are struggling economically, and the government overspends.
But more than 75% of the supplemental’s spending goes directly to Americans at
home and adds protections for Americans deployed in dangerous places like the
Middle East.
There is no doubt the Biden administration has carried on its predecessors’
reckless spending habits; but permitting revanchist adversaries to create
greater instability, shock global markets and threaten open commerce through
international waters will choke American prosperity and threaten the American
way of life.
The federal government must rein in spending not vital to its primary
responsibility to provide for the common defense.

RESHUFFLE
Four, President Biden’s policies have been weak.
Indeed, but that’s even more reason for Congress to step in the gap and lead.
Republican senators successfully added a provision requiring the Biden
administration to develop a plan for Ukrainian victory and resource that
strategy.
Until we’re on stronger footing internationally, until there’s a grand strategy
in place to deter our enemies and lead our allies, America must invest in
manufacturing and shipbuilding so we can produce the weapons we need at the
speed and scale we need them.
Starving our nation of necessary investments in weapons manufacturing and
starving Ukraine of weapons when it’s already rationing the ones it has will
only deny the next president leverage to help end the war on terms that leave
the United States in a stronger position vis- à-vis Russia.

What do you think? Post a comment.
The threats against the United States are growing.
Putting America first means making key investments in our military, bolstering
the security of deployed US forces, expanding American manufacturing and
remaining the arsenal of democracy for US allies much closer to the shared
threats.
The national-security supplemental will help do just this.
