The US army s already low on ammo due to massive transfers to the Ukraine and Israel for doomed "forever" wars.
The shortage is set to grow significantly because the US defense industry is to be cut off permanently from critical rare earth minerals from China.
The time may soon be ripe for China to open a second front in Taiwan and the Malacca Straits using hypersonic missiles, drones to sink aircraft carrier and US navy fleets while Iran sinks US naval assets in the Med and North Arabian Sea.
The real goal of Trump s attack on Iran was not the nuclear reactors but Iran oil and petrochemical trade with China in Yuan.
The oligarchs controlling Trump seem to believe they can win a war of attrition against China by cutting off oil and petrochemicals which China imports, fomenting social unrest to topple Khameni and the CCP.
But their calculation is very risky.
Taking advantage of the overstretched, China can use the opportunity to invade Taiwan, start a Pacific war with the USA.
Its long range hypersonic missiles can take out the B 52 bomber bases, nuclawar submarine bases etc etc
The key to what remains of US global military power are its aircraft carriers. They are clearly vulnerable to being sunk by the new hypersonic missiles.
Entire fleets of US naval ships can be sunk with about 1000 hypersonic missiles fired at long range.
In addition, while Trump and the USA is not so directly affected by a cut off of oil in the Straits of Hormuz, the knock on effects of closing it to all tankers (except perhaps Chinese), will be to fuel a recession, inflation and destroy the dollar.
In an economic and military war of attition with the USA, China, Iran and Russia have the upper hand because they can hold out longer have more military options, better tech than the USA.
