Think Ukraine is the reason the US is low on missiles? Do the numbers actually support that? The numbers don’t seem to support that. From a very cursory search, offensive missiles seem to be around 2:1 Iran. And that’s just raw numbers; someone other than me who might do a little moral editorializing would point out the use in Ukraine was to fight off an illegal invasion while the most effective strike in Iran killed a hundred schoolgirls.

I wasn't intended to imply Ukraine is an adversary, AFAIK to the US, they aren't.

Edit: I realize my original comment was a bit ambiguous, I'm talking about Iran, I've now put "received" into quotes.
