NEWS: A new report says the U.S. has burned through so many munitions in Iran that officials fear it couldn’t fully defend Taiwan from a China invasion in the near term, says the WSJ.

Over 1,000 Tomahawks + up to 2,000 air defense missiles have been used. Rebuilding stockpiles could take up to 6 years, experts warn.

Karoline Leavitt disputes the story, but we all know the White House's track record with the truth.

@meidastouch Just as #China was hoping. An attack on #Taiwan may be just around the corner.

No one here in #Taiwan 🇳🇫 is worrying about that imaginary scenario. 🤔

@TimMaddog Good but from what I’ve read, it’s no imaginary scenario. China is more than happy that the USA uses up its precision munitions in attacks on Iran so it can’t use them on China in the event it attempts invade Taiwan (which I really hope does not happen but China really does want Taiwan, alas)

#China 🇨🇳 has been threatening #Taiwan 🇳🇫 with #invasion for decades, yet they still haven't done it. Y'think it's because they *can't*? 🤔

@TimMaddog @alex_p_roe China only has to look at Ukraine and Iran to see that war is now unwinnable, no matter what fancy toys their military has.
They don't seem as stupid as the USA and Russia either....

@Lazarou @TimMaddog Good point. And China could probably buy Taiwan’s businesses and take it over without firing a shot! Might actually be cheaper than an invasion too!

@alex_p_roe @TimMaddog they can bribe the corrupt to undermine the nation, like what happened to the USA.
Although Taiwan probably has better checks and balances than the USA....

@TimMaddog Yup, am fully aware of China’s interest in Taiwan. China is aware that if it does attempt to take Taiwan, the US may step in to prevent this and this has acted as a deterrent for many years. But not the US is run by a lunatic, the deterrent is not what it once was. We’ll see.

You might also consider the high difficulty of landing an invasion in #Taiwan 🇳🇫. 🤔

@TimMaddog Which may be why China is considering other forms of “conquest” 😉

Don't believe everything you read by so-called "experts" in the mainstream media, especially when it comes to #Taiwan 🇳🇫 and #China 🇨🇳.

@TimMaddog OK, so why don’t you think it is possible that China will invade Taiwan?

As I've said, they've been threatening to invade for decades, yet they haven't even done anything more than "gray warfare" tactics.

@TimMaddog Why haven’t they attempted an invasion in your opinion?

Incapable leadership, incapable military, lack of fortitude, #Taiwan's 🇳🇫 geography… So many reasons.
