USS Spruance Supports Operation Epic Fury...Photos by NAVCENT Public Affairs

The Chinese must be licking their lips. Everytime we attempt to pivot to rebuilding our warstocks we have some "ally" requiring ANOTHER huge expenditure of munitions to back their play. I believe that we're currently and into the near foreseeable future of being placed in a horrible position. I seriously doubt that we have the number of missiles, bombs, rockets etc...to be able to successfully CONSIDER defending Taiwan. We don't know the warplans but I don't see how anyone can consider engaging in a gunfight against a professional enemy with less than half a loadout. In short. I don't think we have the bullets to fight China and if we do then we'll see a bunch of ships, planes etc...running dry in the middle of the fight.
