As the article notes these stocks would be more suitable for peer adversaries. From a military strategic point of view it's batshit to blow your stocks of advanced missiles on a second rate power just to avoid the optics of losing a handful of planes. The extremely low tolerance for casualties due to it being an unpopular war is actively hurting their capabilities for years to come.

China is licking its chops. Anything we throw at Iran is something we can't throw at a Chinese mega-army barreling towards Taiwan. We're already fucked on gas due to the Iran fiasco, I look forward to the late 2020s when we can be fucked on microchips as well.

But, anything for our Greatest Ally™ that totally isn't using AIPAC to exert undue influence over our political systems.

And china prays this shit lasts till September when the seas get calmer so they can take taiwan while the US is preoccupied.

I think odds are it will.
