Another issue- how fast can the industrial base kick into gear?:
US military would run out of some munitions within a week of conflict with China, report
The U.S. military would likely run out of some munitions within a week of conflict with China in the Taiwan Strait, according to a new report from the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
"These shortfalls would make it extremely difficult for the United States to sustain a protracted conflict—and, equally concerning, the deficiencies undermine deterrence," states the report released Monday by the Washington, D.C., think tank.
The group specifically cites a short supply of long-range, precision-guided munitions and
President Joe Biden said in May that the United States would intervene militarily if China invades Taiwan.
The think tank also found such such a limited stockpile of munitions would be compounded by China having already "heavily investing in munitions and acquiring high-end weapons systems and equipment five to six times faster than the United States, according to some U.S. government estimates."
Still, the U.S. defense industrial base is overall operating at a level suited for a peaceful environment and it is not prepared for the current global situation, the report concluded.

We underestimated them in WWII, underestimated them in Korea, and underestimated their economic potential throughout the 20th century. They now own much land in the US, own a ton of our debt, own a ton of our intellectual property, and have a Penn Biden Center for grifting.
Over the years I have read about how the Russians bungled almost every major war for the first year. Then they replaced their political generals and won. I believe that is what is happening today.
The US is about to embark in a major land war with Russia. I believe we will lose it to Russia and China. Our defeat will change the world.
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
