“The fools are de-militarizing their countries.”

Not at all. The Ukrainians are getting our castoff materiel. They haven’t received even one new weapons platform. Not one. They’re so far just getting things that had already been retired from active service or else slated for disposal/destruction.

Yet for some reason the Democrats and Republicans want the taxpayer to pay for these things as if they were new.

US ammunition running 'perilously low' from Biden's efforts to arm Ukraine, military strategist warns

Ret. Lt. Col. Darin Gaub said it may take decades to recover from all the ammunition provided to fight Russia

"Through my sources, I am being told that it's going to take us 10 to 15 years to recover from everything we've shipped over there," Gaub stated, adding the U.S. is "running perilously low on ammunition" and is behind in manufacturing 155 mm artillery shells and other systems.

However, some U.S. inventories are reaching the minimum levels needed for war plans and training.

Not true. The US gave Ukraine 18 of its M777 UFH artillery howizters plus 40K rounds of shells in May of 2023. They are not 'cast offs.'
