Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, discusses the future of the U.S.’s relationship with China along with the economic implications of the debt ceiling conflict on ‘Fox News Sunday.’of key munitions and the capacity of the industrial base to ramp up production, warning that American forces could burn through existing precision weapon stockpiles in less than a week in a potential war with China over Taiwan.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul told Bream that he's "very" worried about the situation and added, "Our defense industrial base is broken. I signed off on all foreign military weapon sales three years ago. They have yet to go into Taiwan, so we need that deterrence. But if we don't have the weapons, that's as critical for deterrence."
House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Adam Smith concurred and told Bream the situation is a "huge problem" and that "we don't have the industrial base, and we don't have the ability to ramp up that industrial base." Smith explained that the defense industry doesn't want to make major investments in expanding production capacity for key weapons systems without a "demand signal, without knowing that we're going to buy them.
When I last checked, China is out of the range of all but US ballistic missile. A war with China would be a naval action with naval air wings and strategic bombers. These are not the kinds of weapons and munitions supplies to Ukraine.
Just another good reason not to kick off WW3
Exactly, as we greatly reduce our supplies, we become more vulnerable.
Perhaps that's the goal, Europe and U.S. use up most of their munitions fighting Putin, then China and other evil powers swoop in!
Cause the IRS and homeland security bought it all up.
walmart is going to attack the usa? lol
All ya need for a war like that is 5-6 nukes, that will pretty much end everything.
Keep giving stuff to Ukraine. So then we go to war with China and lose. It's what Biden wants.
This planned unnecessary war is designed to deplete USA out of money and ammunition. Wake up people.
That's China's plan. They are also destroying us from within, fentanyl, cartels, open borders, lost respect for law enforcement and government. They are behind it or encouraging it.
Weird. Almost as if that is the plan.
