TLDR
-
The US is facing a severe domestic shortage as it has no active TNT production plants and its traditional supply lines have been cut.
-
Poland was a primary supplier to the US but is now diverting most of its production to Ukraine for its war effort, reducing exports.
-
Ukraine is consuming all of its own domestic production and imports from allies like Poland for its military, leaving none for export.
-
Russia & China: Have completely stopped exporting TNT to the US, cutting off two other major former sources.

Poland had been the Pentagon’s sole authorized supplier of TNT. But it has been sending much of what it makes across its border to Ukraine, which is using all that it produces for its own military purposes.
That’s crazy. I wonder how long would the MIC be able to sustain a hot war if the EU and PRC stops exporting production to the US.
Huh. Makes you wonder about the Tennessee plant explosion a bit more…
