Unable to defeat Russia, Biden turned around and attacked China from three directions, and US experts solemnly warned that once a war breaks out, this key weapon will not be as good as China.
Since entering April, the US provocation against China has clearly intensified, reaching its highest peak this year. On the 14th, six senators, including MENANDEZ and Graham, chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, openly disregarded the one-China principle and openly visited Taiwan, and when meeting with Tsai Ing-wen, leader of the DPP authorities, on the 15th, they also specially stressed that once the mainland tries to close taiwan, it will make the mainland pay a painful price.
Not only that, from the end of March to the beginning of April, the US military also held joint military exercises with the Philippines, which has been trying to encroach on China's sovereignty in the South China Sea, which was full of direction toward China, and at the same time threatened and even warned China from many angles not to stand on the same front as Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict forced China to choose a side, as well as the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, and at the same time attacked China from three aspects. I have to say that the United States can not defeat Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it turned to stare at China, trying to find a field in China, US President Biden may be too overestimated himself, too underestimated China. Moreover, we would like to ask Biden, really fight with the People's Liberation Army, do you have enough bullets?
The United States is going through a period of ammunition that has never been enough since the end of the 19th century, and the reason for this is the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Recently, Biden released a three-point diplomatic note to the Russian president, wanting to "persuade Putin to surrender", of which Biden particularly emphasized that the United States arms assistance to Ukraine is unlimited and indefinite.
If in the past, we have reason to believe that Biden is not bragging, since the beginning of World War I, the United States has been known for its powerful military production line, and later World War II and the Cold War, the United States provided countless military equipment and various materials for its allies, grabbed countless wealth, it can be said that the United States is the world's largest war dealer, from which countless profits. But today, things have changed.
After the end of the Cold War, the United States believed that the world had no opponents of the same magnitude, so it began to "release itself" economically, began to eliminate the manufacturing industry with low added value, and turned to the financial industry and the Internet industry, so throughout the nineties, the United States experienced the longest economic take-off since World War II. But it has also created a huge hidden danger - the local military industry has shrunk rapidly, and today in the United States, only the production lines of a few companies such as Boeing remain in the United States. With Putin taking over as President of Russia and China becoming the world's second-largest economy in the 21st century, the United States faced the greatest challenge since the end of the Cold War. Among them, especially for China, which has a complete military production line, the US military supply chain has obviously fallen behind.
Originally, the United States experienced decades of cold war, a large number of Cold War remnants of the scene, even if it shrinks, the inventory is quite rich, really all pulled out, in addition to the manufacturing industry is too strong China and nuclear weapons as the treasure of the country Russia, to deal with other countries is more than enough. However, this Russian-Ukrainian conflict has slapped the United States in the face. Because the gap between the military strength of Russia and Ukraine is too large, and Ukraine has no strategic depth to speak of in front of Russia, the United States must use Ukraine and Russia to fight a proxy war, and it must drag a huge amount of armaments to Ukraine.
According to a recent briefing by U.S. four-star general and chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, the entire Western world has provided Ukraine with 60,000 anti-tank weapons and 25,000 anti-aircraft weapons in this Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Up to now, many Western countries have no inventory to supply to Ukraine, for example, the German defense minister has made such a statement before, and can only ask their own arms dealers to find ways to provide armaments to Ukraine. You know, Germany is already the first economy in Europe, if even Germany can't get it, then most other countries are probably close to exhaustion.
Moreover, as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict continues to heat up, western aid to Ukraine continues to expand, these pressures are gradually concentrated on the United States itself, as Ukrainian President Zelensky said on the 18th, the West must immediately provide greater assistance to Ukraine, and they are ready to fight with Russia for another ten years! Zelenskiy said it lightly, anyway, the weapons and equipment are not enough to open the mouth to find the West to ask for it, it is in this situation, the American scholar Brandts published an article entitled "The Ukrainian war is depleting the United States' 'democratic arsenal'", bluntly saying that as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict continues to intensify, the United States' war material reserves will be hollowed out by this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, leaving only a superficial and luxurious empty shelf, not to mention whether it can crush Russia or a question mark, even if it destroys Russia, the future United States and Europe, and Russia. They are all poor and white, how can we still compete with China?
According to the data given by the Pentagon, since 1994, the United States has produced a total of 37,739 "Javelin" anti-tank missiles, and there are still about 20,000 reserves. However, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has almost consumed about half of it so far, which shows the loss of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to the United States. Zelenskiy's request to the US side is that 1,000 missiles must be provided every day, and anti-tank missiles are 500, according to this trend, the US military can be hollowed out in 20 days.
In contrast, according to the data given by Brandts, China currently has 26 missile brigades, 4,000 strategic and tactical missiles ready to go, and can launch 300-1500 missiles at a time. Therefore, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is corrupting the foundation of US military hegemony, and no matter how high the US military expenditure is, it will soon be the United States will give up its position as the world's first military power to China. And this, too, is what Brands did his best to remind the Biden administration that if there is a real war with China, missiles are definitely not enough.
