Does the Fate of US Arms in Ukraine Create Pause for Thought Ahead War with China? (TheNewAtlas)

- US weapon systems are performing poorly on the battlefield in Ukraine for a number of reasons including difficulty in sustaining and repairing them, as well as the narrowing gap between US and Russian military capabilities;

- US military industrial output is incapable of keeping up with Russian or Chinese military industrial output;

- The US is provoking and attempting to sustain wars thousands of kilometers from its own shores, straining its capability to maintain let alone prevail in these conflicts;

- A conflict with China will involve challenges many times greater than those the US is unable to overcome amid its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine;

- The US can avoid catastrophe by pivoting toward a more rational and sustainable foreign policy within the framework of a multipolar world and by respecting the primacy of the nation state rather than trying to establish the primacy of itself over all other nations;



There's all this talk of war with China but Western countries are economically entwined with them. So is this just talk designed to fuel arms sales in the region?
