Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇺🇸🇨🇳 America’s factories and arsenals are not ready for a major war with China... Detailed CSIS simulations of a Taiwan Strait fight show U.S. forces burning through thousands of long-range precision missiles within the first 3 weeks, numbers that already exceeded pre-war stockpiles years ago. The same studies found that certain critical munitions would be exhausted in under a single week. Without deep reserves or the ability to surge production rapidly, both deterrence by denial and deterrence by punishment lose credibility. The gap between what a Pacific war would demand and what U.S. industry can currently deliver remains vast. Source: CSIS / Writer: Samuel
