If they increase output and Ukraine wins, yay Ukraine wins.

If they increase output and Ukraine falls and Putin tempts fate by attacking the Baltics / Nato they're already at increased output.

Really it's a win win at this point in terms of success or readiness.

Narrator:

Politicians believed this type of conflict was of the past.

They where wrong.
