"The United States must prepare for possible simultaneous wars with Russia and China by expanding its conventional forces, strengthening alliances and enhancing its nuclear weapons modernization program, a congressionally appointed bipartisan panel said on Thursday."

Says the committe from a Congress still without speaker. But very appropiate for Friday the 13th.
The USA are having a relatively hard time keeping up the supplies to Ukraine, let alone fight Russia and China at once.
I can imagine USA government and Congress expanding expense in weapons, but I don't see that bringing so many weapons to their arsenal. It'll just bring money to weapons manufacturers. Fine, I don't like weapons.
If they wanted to have more weapons they would have to change their economics upside down and start getting lots of taxes from the rich ones and spending them on government weapons factories (new or nationalized).
I don't see the USA doing that. Not even after some kind of new 9/11. So no way after something like China invading Taiwan. They'll just make solidarity gestures and maybe marketing for private weapons manufacturers.
The USA is not going to fight Russia and China together head to head, and they are not going to attack the USA directly, or even NATO. It's all more proxy wars to show the rest of the world who they should obey or else.
And countries are going to slowly and painfully turn from USA to China (and maybe Russia, but if that happens then I'm very mislead by propaganda). It's already happening inside NATO, and there are enough places to attack outside NATO, Russia or China, so before it comes to attacking NATO, NATO countries will have changed side "on their own". More or less like what happened with the Warsow pact, but backwards and possibly slower.

World War 3 confirmed?
Yes, just that it is a WW3 of proxy wars.
And the planet can hardly sustain a peaceful humanity, so let alone a warring one. The other WWs didn't find the planet in such a bad shape.
