from China. And more anti aircraft systems. While the US needs Chinese components for the missiles and smart bombs we burned through in Iran. 850 tomahawk missiles.

AT the going rate who is going to run out first? Will Israel run out of interceptors before Iran runs out of missiles? What if China decides that it's okay to invade Taiwan? Will we have enough ordnance left to defend Taiwan? What if Iran finds a way to send small unmanned drone carrying subs that they launch off the coastal US ? Will we have enough to defend against them? Do we now?

What was so critical about attacking Iran that justified burning through so much specific ordnance without a plan for what the endpoint is or a plan to manage resources to cover other potential conflicts or defend the homeland ?

What justifies potentially committing ground troops to a land invasion?

If Israel can't or won't commit ground troops what is so important that the US should ?
