that would be a guaranteed victory for china but they won't do it, i think china still believes in a pacific reunification
Remember:

是故百战百胜,非善之善者也;不战而屈人之兵,善之善者也。

Or if you prefer the meme format:

With every missile and every bomb and every flying hour that the US wastes on yet another Middle East quagmire, the strength and credibility of American hegemony goes down. These missiles and jets are not getting replaced either due to China's continued export controls on heavy rare earths.

A few more years of fighting for the Epstine class, and the US will be weakened enough to hand over Taiwan to China on a silver platter.

I know, but it’ll still be funny if deliveries are delayed till 2035.

Well, since you were asking about a delay....

The Trump administration has delayed announcing a package of arms sales to Taiwan valued at billions of dollars to avoid upsetting Xi Jinping, China’s leader, ahead of President Trump’s planned trip to Beijing in April, U.S. officials said. The weapons sale, which includes air-defense missiles, is in an advanced stage. Senior Republican and Democratic lawmakers approved the package after the State Department sent it to them in January for informal review. However, since then, the sales package has languished in the State Department, the officials said. Administration officials have told some involved in the approval of the sale that the White House ordered agencies not to move forward to ensure that Mr. Trump has a successful summit with Mr. Xi, one official said.

If WW3 broke out right now they would find out the hard way very quickly, let alone 2030 or later, as the strategic calculus has already shifted decisively to the point that the US is basically in the Imperial Japanese position. That's why I say don't be surprised to see the PLA flag flying over the wreck of the Capitol building when WW3 is done with, despite nukes and all.

Patriots and THAAD won’t save anyone in Asia-Pacific from the PLA missiles and drones. Those American bases are sitting ducks.
Uh the Patriots have proven again to be extremely effective against Iranian ballistic missiles. Well PLA also have much better missiles compare to Iran, but the bulk of the 1990s DF-15s and DF-11s can still be easily intercepted. For this reason, in a couple of years when PLARF receives more advanced missiles, the 1990s era DF-11/15s would probably function similar to loiter drones with the mission of depleting Taiwan’s air defence capability before more expensive ballistic missiles (DF-16/17/26) were to roll out from caves and launch.

How could you even get this conclusion? Have you been seeing the footage of the occasional failed intercepts? Have you not seen the impact aftermaths? This and the 12 Day war has proven that the world's best air defended within a small territory Israel plus USN support can still get hit by a third world ballistic missile show how bad Taiwan and Japan will be.
