The US, who once hoped that "Israel's" normalization agreements with Arab countries could mean utilizing them against China and Russia, has now had to scramble to bring back its military equipment and additional personnel.

As US President Joe Biden continues to provide more military support for Ukraine and "Israel", some are growing worried regarding the US capabilities and its ability to respond to all challenges it may face. 

The Pentagon is attacking targets in Syria as it rushes air defenses to the region to safeguard soldiers in the event that "Israel's" war with Hamas spills over. Taiwan, another US ally, has increased purchases of US weaponry despite US claims of adherence to the One China policy.

Already, Republicans in Congress are opposing Biden's $106 billion budget plan for aid to Ukraine, "Israel", and Taiwan.

Although Biden has attempted to reassure world leaders that the US is capable of confronting all threats, insiders in the administration have expressed that the region may require more US interference, hindering its effort to focus on China.

The US, which once hoped that "Israel's" normalization agreements with Arab countries could mean utilizing them against China and Russia, has now had to scramble to bring back its military equipment and additional personnel, delaying "Israel's" ground invasion of Gaza.

Recently, US forces have been targeted in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan, followed by a US strike in Syria allegedly against an IRGC arms depot, which Iran categorically denied.

In Ukraine, Russia is betting on outlasting the US and its allies, particularly since the US is highly involved in the Middle East and the Ukrainian counteroffensive is moving at a glacial pace.

Moscow appears to be leading the race in artillery rounds, which have become a major weapon in the battle. Ukraine has drained US and partner inventories, despite extensive supply, and efforts to increase output, particularly in Europe, have been met with obstacles.

The Army Science Board warned last month that the war in Ukraine "exposed the fragility" of the US defense supply chain, emphasizing that the US was “struggling to ramp up the production of munitions.”

Previous war scenarios, some of which were classified, revealed that US inventories of crucial precision and standoff weapons might be depleted in a matter of days in the case of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, according to the article.

Now, "Israel" is looking for some of the same kind of shells that Ukraine requires for its aggression on Gaza, and Taiwan has also requested some of the same weaponry.

Michèle Flournoy, a former Undersecretary of Defense for policy, expressed that the industrial base was "not prepared" to have to restock this many "partners" at once, adding that “in all three cases, our ability to equip train and support these partners is really the primary means by which we can safeguard our own interests."

“The US risks overreaching at a dangerously complicated and uncertain time in the world during a time when we see historic American dysfunction, incompetence and division in our ability to govern,” she said

The former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel expressed that “the US risks overreaching at a dangerously complicated and uncertain time in the world during a time when we see historic American dysfunction, incompetence and division in our ability to govern."
