Imho: China might be waiting to take Taiwan once the US ammo stocks are emptied due to sheer idiocy.
And preparing to sell more solar panels and EVs if oil production in the region gets lasting damage
I had this thought, though China has been very obvious with their movements lately. I'd more suspected they were doing it try have the US back down on the Strait by reminding them of the South China Sea.
China has been very obvious with their movements lately.
In a world of unpredictability and uncertainty, presenting your country as stable and certain is extremely profitable.
China Taiwan relations are improving significantly during this war. Taiwan gets all energy/helium from Gulf. Chinese allies have control over what can get shipped to Taiwan. China seriousfaced offered some sweet LNG to Taiwan for peaceful reunification. A ship that would transship to Taiwan without China's permission will be blacklisted from future Gulf trade. US has 99 bigger problems than Philippines or even Taiwan.
They've burned a century of soft power and international goodwill in 18 months.
So. Fucking. Dumb.
It almost feels like it's a purposeful boondoggle to waste the country's military resources on nothing, leaving it toothless and helpless.
I think it's pretty obvious that trump's main job is to destroy the us from within
It really is. It is very hard to destroy it from the outside, since it was build like a castle.
It's very profitable, so of course nothing is being done against him, the state religion of the USA begets that profit is more important than the country
that's the only positive.
that violent shit country has been at war most of its existence under any president.
another war and US war crimes is nothing new.
nothing would please me more with it gone, the world would be a better place.
You were not alive during the early 90s and don't remember what it was like to have a massive geopolitical vacuum after the fall of the ussr, do you
Another wrong assumption.
I have seen pizza boy Gorbachev the traitor followed by Yeltsin sell-out and the devastating effects.
US vultures and the west massively leeching on them and stealing resources.
The population suffering heavily. And no, it wasn't that 'they had trouble adjusting to capitalism' as it was sold by the US mouthpieces.
A horrible period until Putin put a stop to it when he got refused entry into NATO and realized the US doesn't want peace, only subservient vassals to exploit.
Is the world going in to chaos without the corrupt policeman of the world?
That's simply cheap scaremongering.
90% of the world's problems are directly related to the US meddling everywhere.
So what exactly is your point other than confirming mine?
as I figured, you got nothing
Is it really 14 years worth of missiles if you use them in 30 days in an actual war? Surely you measure your 'days' worth of missiles based on expected usage in scenarios where you actually have to use them? So in reality, they used 30 days worth of missiles in 30 days, they just massively underestimated how many missiles they'd need in those 30 days.
I'd say it depends on if you're using the missiles effectively.
Targeting elementary schools because the hallucination machine you decided to give command and control authorization told you to, is not effective use.
The US fired 850+ Tomahawk cruise missiles in 30 days but purchased only 57 in the FY2026 budget. That is 14.9 years of production consumed in a single month.
So invest in Raytheon and GD and Northrop Grumann like our oligarchical overlords?
Sadly, as always, the increase is already priced in. It was before any announcement was made of an attack. They tell their friends to buy, then they announce it and they make a nice profit.
Nothing to worry about. Israel is very thankful and Americunts are very happy to pay for that.
US citizens have suffered under awful social safety nets and a lack of universal healthcare for the trade-off of at least having a massive unstoppable military. Here we are though with its dwindling amount of munitions and the rest of the world pissed at it. It seems the US wasn't that different from Russia in that they both have a lack of military hardware for a sustained conflict.

Way to nut early.
The fuck is this website? Am I playing Hypnospace Outlaw?
US/Israel does have a high amount/production rate of JDAMs (plane launched guided bombs). These only fit US planes. USrael is using these exclusively now, because of missile shortage. Defensive missiles are in extreme shortage, with no real alternative. Israel only shoots down 1 out of 10 missile strikes now. US colonies have all been requested to send their defensive missiles to Israel theater. Radars being moved too.
If the stone age goal/timeline keeps shifting, Iran to force an end to war must get assistance in decisive (nuclear) strikes on USrael airbases, or for lower hysteria level, Chinese/Pakistan fighter air defense support. Even lower hysteria level solution, publicly coerce the US to leave gulf immediately so that SoH opens "naturally" (very easy diplomatic agreement). GCC holds the cards for their suicide pact. Timid stance is deserving of their destruction, and Iran should put a timer on when these countries run out of water so that public attitudes get readjusted for quick US exit, or they get couped in quick order. World/Iran will provide water when US leaves.
