I honestly believe if he becomes too much of a problem the US will reign him in. Lets be frank, they have already started with recent Starlink terminals purchased for Ukraine. He may think he's above all of this but give him enough rope...

The US military doesn’t like being held to ransom.

So at least 2 million shells a year, that's a lot of shells. Rheinmetall said they will ramp up production to 600k shells a year so they will still need to source supplies from other countries to close out the gap (unless any of the old socialist countries can domestically produce 152's and other comparable soviet era shells)?

The EU is ready to produce over 1 million shells a year. The Ukrainians use between 4,000 and 8,000 shells per day but that number will need to increase.

I actually have big concerns kind of related to this - hopefully for our own defence it won't be necessarily but we certainly could be supporting Ukraine more in this respect.

But we seem to far too much depend on things continuing within the framework of logic and reason as we've come to believe/hope the world works - for example what if someone worse than Putin took advantage of this situation to seize power in Russia and decided to do something crazy? which is something which completely could happen even if relatively low likelihood - we'd be poorly prepared for it and take enormous damage before being able to stabilise the situation or even caught so off guard they'd be successful.

Something like Russia's entire [remaining] air fleet mobilised for an invasion of the UK seems utterly nuts but that doesn't mean it won't happen and in the current situation the chances of it have increased substantially even if still low.

Things like production of munitions needs to seriously be ramped up again in this country.
