As the war of choice with Iran continues, there's a dispute as to whether the U.S. is short on munitions. Let's see what the two sides are saying:
US President Donald Trump clashed with his defense secretary last week, accusing Pete Hegseth of misleading the White House about the state of American munitions stockpiles amid a potential return to major combat operations in Iran, according to a Wednesday report.
The exchange took place at Camp David, The Washington Post reported, on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting. According to the report, which cited two people familiar with the exchange, Trump told Hegseth he thought the problem – a shortage of long-range and interceptor missiles – “had been fixed.”
CNN reported Wednesday that the US military has used up close to 80 percent of its interceptors for the THAAD anti-ballistic missile defense system and approximately 50% of its Patriot interceptors, leaving the supply of those munitions “dangerously low.”
When confronted about the problem, Hegseth punted the blame to his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, the Post report said...
So, the Malignant Fascist is angry that he wasn't told about munitions being "dangerously low." But then this fella Donald J. Trump tells a different story in the wee hours this morning:
The Team of Rivals Team of Blame-Shifting Clowns would be our choice as to where to begin the hunt for the "treasonous statements" that were the subject of a Camp David meeting about a "dangerous" shortage of munitions that the Malignant Fascist got BIG MAD about being low and heads will roll!...blah blah.
The point of this is that the Malignant Fascist's on-going bluffing about "massive amounts of 'munitions'" was exposed by the reporting. He must believe the rest of the world didn't already know about that (most certainly his far more clever foes in Tehran did), and that his bluff and bluster is effective, not the source of grim amusement. Our emperor has no clothes, or munitions, either.
I'm sometimes considered elderly, possibly because of age. Trying to reconcile the reasoning here.
ReplyDeleteNews reports say there is a shortage of US munitions because of Trump's blundering into a no-win war.
Trump insists there is no such shortage.
And anyone in the administration who says there is will be charged with leaking state secrets?
Really?
Burr -- I think you've reconciled it about as much as possible! Trump likes to fire people, and he also likes to sue, so look for both. Btw, thank you for always including us in your weekly wrapup!
