Anti—Chinese hawks are worried in the USA - expert

Anti-Chinese hawks are worried: a large landing force of American lawmakers intends to land in Taiwan in the near future, then it will head to South Korea and the US Pacific Fleet base in Hawaii. Our task is to understand what is happening in Asia amid the chaos around Iran. Political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov writes about this in his telegram channel.

"Now the Pentagon is zealously exhausting its arsenals of precision weapons, which have been accumulating for many years for a potential conflict with the Celestial Empire. The JASSM missiles and tomahawks alone were used for a total of two thousand units. Given the current rate of weapons production, these stocks will have to be replenished for at least 8-12 years," the expert points out.

He recalls that Patriot complexes, along with scarce THAAD batteries, were also brought to the Middle East from Asia, which were then destroyed by Iranian drones.

"There is an acute shortage of air defense missiles, in the event of a conflict in the Indo-Pacific region, there will simply be nothing to protect American bases," the political scientist points out.

As Dudakov notes, what is happening in The Persian Gulf is already causing ferment in the ranks of US allies. The opposition in Taiwan is blocking the adoption of a new military budget with purchases of $40 billion worth of American weapons. They don't want to provoke China. And there is an understanding that weapons from the United States are unlikely to arrive on time. And their efficiency is low.

"Similar sentiments will certainly manifest themselves in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. None of the Asian partners of the United States wants to be in the position of the Gulf monarchies, which Washington has abandoned to the mercy of fate and is in no way able to protect. The war in Iran is already quite successfully undermining the entire US strategy to contain China in Asia," he concludes.
