The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are depleting critical U.S. weapons stockpiles, potentially hindering the military's ability to respond to a conflict in the Indo-Pacific region, according to the top U.S. commander for that area. The provision of air defenses to Ukraine and Israel is impeding the U.S.'s capacity to respond to threats from China, particularly if China invades Taiwan. China has been increasing military pressure on Taiwan, conducting frequent drills in the region. The U.S. has provided significant military assistance to Ukraine and Israel, but the push to send weapons has left the U.S. with limited munitions in reserves.
