I wonder. It depends on how big the ammunition stockpiles of the west are…
Stockpiles need to be used, to stop the ammo going out of date, and to keep the armaments industry running. It’s been a long time since the Gulf War, and now that the West no longer use Afghanistan as a sandbox, the West needs a new proxy war to use its ammunition stocks.
America won’t sent troops (the electorate will lynch Biden), but will supply… I mean sell vast quantities of hardware/ammo.
