Arsenal of Democracy

During World War II, the United States proudly called itself the “arsenal of democracy” as its munitions factories and shipyards produced an endless supply of weapons to fight the genocidal government of Germany.

As a result, most of America’s initial aid took the form of food — at first we were less the arsenal of democracy than its breadbasket.

It’s now been over two months since the U.S. — which since World War II has fashioned itself as the “Arsenal of Democracy” — last sent military supplies to Ukraine.

The Democratic president is openly channeling Franklin Delano Roosevelt and resurrecting the World War II-era concept that America is the “arsenal of democracy.”

“This is about rebuilding the arsenal of democracy,” McConnell, R-Kentucky, said in a floor speech during the long days of debate, “and demonstrating to our allies and adversaries alike that we’re serious about exercising American strength.”
