China is salivating over the fact that the US has fired a bunch of their tomahawk & Patriot missiles. They know Hegseth is incompetent, predictable & trigger happy. They manipulate Trump with flattery.

They likely know when our stockpiles are running low, based on the current burn rate. If replacements are long lead times, then they can strike at Taiwan & not worry about the American response.

Trump may say it’s too far away, let the allies in the Pacific handle CHYNA.

@copter_chief That's the false perspective. The leaders of Taiwan are watching; the people of Taiwan are watching. They now know that the USA isn't even capable of defending them. From now on that's a known fact for everyone to see. It changes everything. Over time. The difference that makes a difference.
