Although the U.S. military industry is far from being cornered, the U.S. has begun to rush to the doctor's hospital in a hurry, and this practice may cause trouble.

Since the beginning of this year, the U.S. Congress has not been able to pass the aid bill for Ukraine, and Ukraine's weapons and ammunition can no longer withstand Russia's strong attack. However, the United States, on the one hand, has been unable to pass the aid bill for a long time, and on the other hand, the domestic military production capacity has not been able to keep up with the consumption of Ukraine, and the military production capacity of the United States is seriously insufficient. In the past, it was able to give Ukraine those weapons and equipment assistance, but it was because the United States and Europe had stocks, and now the stocks are almost cleared, which naturally exposes the problem of insufficient production capacity. If the United States wants to drag on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and make war money from it, it must solve the problem of weapons and equipment. The United States does not seem to be panicking, but in fact it is already in a hurry.
Although the United States is in such a hurry now, he is still quite capable. After all, "good popularity", even if you are sick and rush to the doctor, you can still find a "doctor", and you are still far from being desperate. Recently, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Ram Emanuel mentioned the importance of strengthening defense industry cooperation between the United States and its allies, and that the United States and Japan will also study what weapons and equipment can be produced together. From the attitude of this ambassador, we can see that the United States is now interested in getting Japan to strengthen its weapons production system. The United States has now let Mitsubishi produce the F-35, and now I don't know what weapons and equipment Japan needs to help produce.
The United States may think that Japan is its ally, and when weapons and equipment are produced, they are not given to Japan, but sold to other countries, but this is obviously just raising tigers for trouble. The United States is now indeed able to control Japan, regardless of the possible negative impact of Japan. But from Japan's point of view, there are really a lot of things that Japan can do, and there are a lot of loopholes that can be exploited. First, Japan can acquire a lot of advanced military technology in a short period of time by assembling US weapons and equipment, and this will provide tremendous convenience for Japan's research and development of its own military products in the future; second, Japan can naturally clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of these US military products; if one day Japan does not want to be controlled by the United States and goes against the United States, the advantages and disadvantages of these products will become the Achilles heel of the US military, such as the US F-35 in Japan, and Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is now responsible for the maintenance of these aircraft; third, Japan's production of US military products will certainly make the United States dependent on JapanJapan's economy is not very good at present, and manufacturing these military products in Japan can make American arms dealers pay a smaller cost, but obtain greater benefits, and if one day it develops to the point where the United States is overly dependent on Japan for the production of military products, then the combat capability of the US military will be restricted by Japan, and it is difficult to say whether it will be counterattacked by Japan.
The US government's solutions to weapons and equipment manufacturing have exposed their inconsiderate consideration of long-term issues. With the quadrennial presidential election in the United States and the ever-changing world situation, the US government has no choice but to quench its thirst by drinking a donkey. This approach of the United States will not be able to achieve its goals in the short term, and it will only be effective in the medium term, and in the long run, it will be easier for countries like Japan to take advantage of it. I hope that the United States will react and not be hot-headed and do things that cause trouble for the sake of raising tigers.
