Summary
Ukraine just got a license to manufacture PAC-3 Patriot missiles on its own soil, and Lockheed Martin found out the same time the rest of the world did. This is not just a Ukraine story. It is a stress test of how the US defense industry, NATO's supply chain, and Trump's foreign policy posture all crack under the pressure of a war that is moving faster than the factories supplying it. This episode breaks down what the Patriot production license actually means, why the US munitions supply chain was already on life support, how Europe's industrial collapse is handing China a strategic gift, and what the NATO summit numbers reveal about who is really paying for Western security.
