"breaks out"? Lol do this things just "happen"?
Just part of nature, an earthquake here, a thunderstorm there, a hospital being bombed in a two tap strike over there, just natural things you can't avoid sadly
Best put Cuba and Greenland on hold then eh? 🤦
It is so difficult to me to get that the us could possibly run out of missiles. Either they have been firing an insane number, or they just had like 12 or 15 stored in some werehouse.
Your first postulation is correct. The US is not prepared for drone warfare and it's showing. The US is firing expensive missiles to intercept cheap Shaheds. I suspect your second may also be true but idk.

There's got to be a certain degree of the defence department ordering a certain number then a lower number being delivered and 'oh dear, we don't know what happened to the others and the costs have risen so maybe the military should have an audit to find the missing money?......'

Great
Wow that'd be a crazy coincidence if China decided to invade Taiwan right after we ran out of missiles and had our fleets concentrated on the opposite side of the world. Totally unpredictable.
That'd destroy their image and make the people of Taiwan hate them for many generations when it's much simpler to keep the status quo until the people of Taiwan want reunification.
their preferred strategy seems to be sit it out and let the people mingle.
