American weapons are the best in the world—and apparently the most expensive and difficult to produce in massive numbers.
Supplying Ukraine has squeezed America’s tactical and strategic weapon reserves down to dangerous levels—the military equivalent of Joe Biden’s draining the strategic petroleum reserve, even as global oil prices are once again spiraling, and the weather disrupts supply.
Joe Biden has a bad habit of exploiting the petroleum and weapons bounty that he inherited from Trump, depleting and not replenishing it, and then covering his tracks by blaming Trump.

Making it the perfect time for China to attack Taiwan. Almost as if it was engineered that way.
Naaa. That’s crazy talk. That would imply there are high level Chinese operatives influencing the decisions of the U.S. Government State Department. That could only happened if the CCP has bribed and compromised elected officials in the U.S.
Actually while China has a large army it needs more amphibious ships then it has to get those troops to Taiwan. Taiwan largely a mountainous jungle with only a few viable beachheads that are heavily defended. Not having enough amphibious ships means China is limited to the number of troops it can land on those heavily defended beaches. Havening insufficient troops means their assaults' will probably fail as it stands now. China could always build more amphibious ships but with their economy in freefall it would mean tying up resources on ships that will not be needed after Taiwan. A long blockade means China will not have access to the high end chips TSMC produces for their electronic exports.
Just as Russia, on paper, looked like they would roll over Ukraine, China too falls shorts on what they actually need to seize Taiwan. Our actions towards Russia and Ukraine sends a message to China as to the consequences of military action towards a sovereign state. Better to spend billions defending Ukraine than to spend trillions fighting China...
