When the Cold War ended, the United States made an active decision to shrink defense production capacity to just barely cover ongoing deliveries. This has saved taxpayers a great deal of money and helped grow the economy. But it also leaves a huge cap if a full-scale war breaks out against Russia or China. Moreover, the World War II plan to rapidly shift civilian production to military production will not work anymore because manufacturing has slowly shifted offshore.

Thus, in the event of an industrialized war, the United States will need to find a way to bridge the gap until it can produce sufficient weapons itself. And that key to victory might just be Mexico.
