No mention of Russia or $800 billion.
It's not even how you spell the guy's name.
Get better at propaganda.

Literally the first thing he says in the 60 minutes interview is that US is lagging behind Russia in producing munitions, meanwhile here's the DoD budget which is 842 billion.
Get better at trolling.
You intentionally posted some derived work that showed the actual interview in the background while some random guy told people what to think. Just post actual news.
What I posted is a clip from the 60 minutes interview with a Pentagon official responsible for procurement who plainly states that US lags behind Russia in ammunition production. This is actual news, not sure why you keep trying to pretend otherwise. Wonder what your agenda is here. 🤔
That isn't what you did, and you know it. It's someone else speaking over the video footage. Someone who couldn't even spell the interviewee's name right.
Nothing that I said is factually incorrect. Ukraine is currently firing 110k shell a month:
At the start of March, Ukraine was reportedly firing 110,000 artillery shells a month, and requested allies to supply enough to bring that number up to 250,000. According to British analysts, Ukraine’s artillery usage would exhaust the entire UK stockpile in eight days.
US is hoping to produce 20k shells a month at some point:
U.S. officials say they hope soon to be producing 20,000 shells per month from U.S. plants, rising to 40,000 within two years – a programme that requires new factories, new machine tools and a desperate search for staff in an environment where arms firms find vacancies difficult to fill.

Meanwhile, here's the number of shells Russia was producing monthly before the war started, this has since increased

So, once again, I have to ask you what you think you're disputing here.

I'm just saying bro, you on the career track. You keep making these numbers you'll get your Christmas bonus FOSHO

awwww. kith me beybe. let's make up.
But who can make the most munitions that actually work?
Sure, bro. Keep telling yourself that. Big bad Russia couldn’t even take Ukraine.
This is what happens when you get your news from YouTube. You get brain rot.
