Gift the entirety of military resources not stationed in CONUS to NATO allies. If the plan was to try to strong-arm our allies for protection, literally take the ammo away.

Those NATO allies (Poland) don't even intercept Russian missiles when they enter Polish air space. Belarus has a better track record of shooting down Russian drones.

Because they've been told by the US they're not allowed to use their US supplied arms to do so. They've been asking for permission for at least a year. Refer also constraints placed on Ukraine

There is also the issue of

  1. Batteries protecting major cities.

  2. Munitions being limited.

  3. What can be shot down depends on the altitude. See point 1.
