The Wall Street Journal admits America’s ammunition stockpiles are now too depleted to defend Taiwan. Carl explains why China’s strategic oil reserves dwarf those of the US, Japan, and Europe combined, how the US is not even oil-self-sufficient, and why Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea should be terrified.
