2. With the Brits given Ukraine Storm Shadow, US issues around ATACMS are mute.

The range issue certainly One can argue that cruise missiles are less inflammatory than ballistics like ATACAMS since they're easier to intercept. But with Ukraine using point in time SEAD missions armed with HARM missiles to cover their Storm Shadow raids from SAM intercepts, that's mute too. So just do it. Quantities available are an issue, but the Ukrainians how shown they can work around that and I know a place who would be more than happy to build more ATACMS. Ramp up may be tough, but they've done harder things.
