While China is preparing for annexation of Taiwan in 2028.

At some point someone will stop joking that Trump is a "Russian asset" and start assuming that he's paid by Xi to ensure a millenia of Chinese domination. Which would be wrong of course : he's ensuring millenia of Chinese domination, and he's getting paid for it, just not by China. 2028 is going to be... Weird. But it will be Rubio or Vance of Heghseig's problem.

We've been told their air defenses are completely wiped out. Why do we need stealthy cruise missiles now?

To win the war another time, I guess ? To be fair, he told us we would get "tired of winning". On a more serious note : could it be that iranian air defense is being supplemented by an ally ? Someone further east ? Or, simply, that they kept some reserve to keep the war long, and play with the American customer's never ?

Why make up unsubstantiated claims about Chinese support, when it is known that Russia supports Iran with military hardware?

Russia's pretty busy with its own war.

That's not the point of parent comment, at all.

It is, OP is repeating anti China talking points of the Mainstream Media, pretending that China is a legitimate future military target of the US.

That wording is inflamatory. You meant China and the US might enter in military conflict in a not too distant future.

The point of parent is that the US is not considering an intervention in the conflict agaisnt Taiwan. It is doing nothing for Ukraine, either.

If your enemy loudly proclaims for decades that their strategy is to initially destroy AA capability then roam at will through clear airspace, presumably it doesn't take much imagination to plan to not reveal some proportion of your AA capability initially?

I've never heard anyone joke about it. It's an obvious fact of the world we live in.

err, this is an odd response given that this assessment has been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked every time it is offered up.

There's a "converted military building" in Bozeman Montana. It's literally called "The Armory", a hotel now. So presumably Iranian operatives can blow it up, and any deaths/damage would be the fault of the US government for deliberately converting a military building for some other purpose?
