China has an industrial base, that is the whole. They CAN produce weapons, lots of weapons.
>> [China] CAN produce weapons, lots of weapons.
Yep.
China 2023 is America 1941 — industrial might, easily converted to war materiel production.
Is Chinese war materiel inferior to our best? Perhaps, but “Quantity has a quality all its own.” Think Iranian drone swarms (not a problem for China to replicate; they probably already have). Think hypersonic shore-to-ship missiles, individually unreliable but launched in VAST quantities that render the mighty US Navy dead in the water.
Meanwhile, all WE produce are queer and tranny and feminist Tik-Tok influencers, and “entertainment”. We’re thirty trillion dollars in debt, much of it funding stupid sh!t like “green energy” (while China is using reliable coal). Our military is woke to the max but otherwise flabby and inferior. Our industrial prowess is gone.
This is NOT!!! a good time to squander in Ukraine what weapons systems we have in our inventory!
Very True, the ability to produce the weapons of war is what wins wars.
However, China would lose their #1 export market. It's doubtful they would want to start a war with us.
Nevertheless, the US needs to get prepared. There is just no excuse for not having the weapons on hand, or the industrial base to produce them.
