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.

meanwhile russia has done pretty well for itself despite heavy sanctions by being a war economy that’s isolated from the world stage…

Incidentally, Russia is isolated in the same way there's a global shortage of TNT right now :)
