China would be a naval war. China needs to import a lot of food and fuel. And China funds itself by exporting a lot of goods. A strong navy could really interrupt their import-export business. And as I understand it, the Chinese navy is mostly designed for coastal defense rather than defending supply chains far from home.

I don’t think it is in our interests to mess with China. But if we did, I think we could cripple them without using up too many weapons.

We are NOT going to fight a land war in China. IMO we could not even take and hold Hong Kong.

Why would the compromised u.s. government want to fight their bosses?

Isn’t that the point? Deplete the arms, the oil reserves and we lose. Then blame Trump.

This is conventional weapons. This is why we’re sending everything to be quickly wiped out by russia in ukraine. So we cant help taiwan. Joe and China have this arrangement as what he must do.

Hence the reason for the war in Ukraine.

Taiwan, rather the Republic of China, is an island and can defend itself.

Besides which, Japan, Vietnam, India are Chinese neiand highly wary of China

All true, but China doesn't have the social or economic platform to go to war at the moment either.

China is a civil war about to erupt. They have accustomed the population to huge and sustained economic growth that has collapsed. Covid provided a excuse, but just made matters far worse. There is a political time bomb just ticking away.

Yes, the US military needs to rebuild its stocks of munitions, but what we are seeing with the warfare laboratory in Ukraine is that many of the traditional weapons systems need to be replaced not with the old weapons of the past, but with new weapons required in future wars.

We don't need more 14 inch battle ship projectiles, we need anti-drone weapons. Yes, we need bullets, some artillery shells, but we need smart low cost, accurate weapons.
