Trump: "We have a virtually unlimited supply of weapons. Wars can be fought 'forever,' and very successfully, using just these supplies."

They've practically annihilated any vestige of their core principles and morality after waging a war against it their entire life.

Only a stark raving lunatic would even begin to say that unless he means when we run out will still have the big one to use and use it he will ,so we don't get our hands on the sex tapes with children.

in a recent Substack post.

https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/were-low-on-ammo-trump-is-burning

If you haven’t spent any time on the military brevity codes for ammunition status, I can’t blame you. This is a niche subject, but there are four tiers: green, yellow, red, and black.

Green – Fully mission capable; sufficient supply for the mission/

Amber/Yellow – Limited supply; degraded capability. You start picking and choosing targets more carefully.

Red – Serious shortage; the mission is significantly impacted. You can only address the most critical targets…if that.

Black – No supply. Completely exhausted.

So when Trump posted this lunacy on Trash Social, my ear pricked up. (And with my ears, there’s a lot of prick up.) Despite his boasting, I suspect we’re deep in the Yellow status, knocking on the door of Red.




As a saying goes: Piss-poor planning leads to piss-poor performance.

Much much more about the logistics of this situation and Trump's stupidity in the link:

I caught Leavitt’s presser today. The secret unknown storage around the world sounds real fun. Oooh we’ve got hidden stockpiles NO ONE knows about.

I thought you were a peace president, you know, one who wouldn't start forever wars.

What do you mean, "wars can be fought forever?"

By the way, since everything you say is a lie, our fotces must be getting low on ammo.

Good job, Trump.

11. The HUGE problem is we are super low on missile interceptors

Middle East only has enough for 7-10 days. Then there is nothing to stop Iranian missiles.

We only produce 7/8 THAAD missiles a month. One THAAD missiles costs 15 million and it often takes 2 missiles to take down one 20 thousand Iranian missile

So we pay $30 million to take down a 20 thousand drone but soon we be out of THAAD missiles. We also have Patriots in Israel - $2 to $4 million each - we produce 600 a year is should be gone in days. NYT says ARROW interceptors dangerously low.

Rubio mentioned this like he just discovered they were running out of top interceptors.
