Following on from the post about China, I see the US is now dipping into it's strategic fuel reserves in order to lower the price of fuel at the pumps. Reserves that are held for contingencies like war or disasters.
If I was a betting man, I'd put money on China invading Taiwan in the next 28 days.
Because by using strategic reserves, the US limits its ability to wage war. Maybe by a small amount, but an amount that could be crucial is a shooting war. After all, ships need oil to get to Taiwan, planes need fuel to fly, tanks need fuel to fight....
Curtail that ability by any amount and your adversary will see it as a weakness.
Weakening an already weak American military thanks to wokeism, vaccine mandates, military malfeasance and general political interference is not a good idea just as your primary adversary gains strategic parity. Plus Christmas and New Year are the ideal times to attack while the USA military stands down for the holidays and lets servicemen away on leave.
I assume that Mark Milley will be on the phone to China letting them know that " this really, in no substantial way affects our ability to wage war, so don't you guys go invading Taiwan now y'hear?". Of course giving the exact opposite message to the Chinese.
