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.

#Taiwan 🇳🇫 is worrying about that imaginary scenario. 🤔
#LifeGoesOn @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)
@alex_p_roe #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!
