And thanks to their military doctrine where they produce a limited quantity of very flashy, expensive weapons, they will get low on munitions when they engage in any serious conflict. Watching the US flounder against Iran (who apparently spends between 8-25 billion a year on defence according to various estimates I looked at) really makes you wonder if buying weapons from the US is buying weapons for yesterday's war.

Plus buying weapons from a potential occupying force means *no munitions* beyond what we've purchased before the conflict broke. We either have to manufacture our own weapons or buy from our potential occupier's enemies. Or both.
