Introduction
China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are sprinting to strengthen their military capabilities and are increasingly working together to threaten the United States and its interests. Thankfully, Americans have valuable partners in Taiwan, Ukraine, and Israel who are willing to fight to defend themselves and the interests they share with the United States. But to be successful, Taipei, Kyiv, and Jerusalem need American weapons. By transferring these arms, Washington can defend its interests without sending American troops to the battlefield.
But can the United States simultaneously arm Taiwan, Ukraine, and Israel? Or must Washington choose between them? And can the United States arm its partners while also producing the weapons the U.S. military needs? How healthy is the American defense industrial base (DIB) when it comes to building the weapons beleaguered democracies need? And how can the American arsenal of democracy be strengthened?
