I am skeptical that the United States has the military capability to wage much of any kind of War in the South China Sea.
We have seriously run down our munitions shipping them off to Ukraine and Biden is well on the way to draining the Strategic petroleum Reserve into worthlessness.
Both of which, I believe, are being done (in part at least) to damage our military readiness. Possibly at the bidding of this Chinese Masters.
Defend every other countries boarders…..
Except our own….
Makes perfect sense
Almost none of the material shipped to Ukraine is relevant to a sea and air war in East Asia.
If you wish to dispute this, it would help if you got specific on which weapons you are concerned about.

Ukraine is a land war. Any war in the Pacific will be primarily Naval and Air, land assets need not apply.
