In that climate, the US giving up significant amounts of its own military stock was always going to be a non-starter. Unfortunately, the US has become a lot more isolationist in the last decade and Ukraine is feeling the brunt of that.
Well...and a lot of Nations are going to have to start being more self-sufficient.

When Teflon Don there says 'America First' he means it. I imagine the flow of arms and materiel from the US is going to start drying up.
