4. They're provoking us in to using up our munitions

Legitimate sources are indicating the US has used up around 1/3rd of our Tomahawk cruise missiles, half of our Patriot, THAAD and PrSM missiles and near depletion of the smaller missile systems fired from naval ships. It'll take 3-10 years to get that back capacity. In the meanwhile, we're down enough that it won't be possible to counter a Taiwan invasion or properly address an attack from N. Korea or Russia.

Adversaries are waching, rubbing their hands together, doing math, and waiting for the right time. With conventional munitions this depleted, the Orange Asshole ® and his advisers may chose nukes out of desperation.

Pay attention to the doomsday clock: https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/. It's never been closer to midnight.
