America has lost multiple wars in the desert and been chased out of Afghanistan. The American military is currently struggling hard with the Houthis, and the proxy war in the Ukraine of all of Nato is going Putin's way. The combined manufacturing might of all of Nato can't beat the "gas station masquerading as a country". Giving all the manufacturing to China and other countries was a huge mistake. Likewise, attempts to break Russia with tariffs failed miserably. Is America even still a global super power at this point?

Ukraine is not fighting with the combined manufacturing might of NATO. The spigot has been opened, definitely, but NATO countries need to maintain their own (tiny) militaries, haven't stepped up manufacturing, and have a lot of challenges moving and integrating the supplies in Ukraine.
This is not to blame insufficient military aid for the Ukrainian losses. They would be facing the same problems if we gave them triple the military aid. There's only so much people can do with tanks they only got yesterday, no combined arms doctrine, and the most corrupt leadership on the planet.
