Unfortunately, what I think it's rhyming with is Russia's "no, we're not on the brink of invading Ukraine; these are just military exercises".

    If China were going to invade Taiwan, it would be logical to do so while the US and NATO were occupied by supporting Ukraine’s efforts against Russia.

      And while the US was temporarily short of missiles. (Except the missiles that would matter the most would be anti-ship missiles, and I don't think we've sent a huge number of those to Ukraine.)

        Euh, the missle shortage is greatly overblown. There is one type out of production and in a transitional state. That one is 33% through the stock. That's it. To be honest, just deliver the heavy arms to Ukraine to defend themselves and don't let China get any ideas. All the rest is irrelevant.
