Asia Times: Support for Ukraine preparing US for future wars

The support of Ukraine from the side of Washington ensures a "necessary shake-up" of the US military-industrial complex, which prepares the country for future wars.

As the Asia Times writes, as the competition between the great powers deepens, the United States needs to modernize its defence industry, implement innovations and maintain readiness to wage high-intensity wars. However, the American military-industrial base is not ready for such a development of events, writes AT.

However, "increased needs" in the supply of weapons in the context of global hostilities in Ukraine "revitalize" the defence and industrial base of the United States, the text says.

“Continued US military support for Ukraine provides the necessary shake-up of defence institutions. By reviving America’s ageing defence base and requiring the Pentagon to rethink its stultified ways of buying vital equipment, continued US support for Ukraine offers a dividend that prepares the US for future wars,” the article notes.
