No that was the MOU you denied was legitimate that proved to be 100% accurate
Interesting reimagining of history here. Par for the course for you.

You can’t possibly be dumb enough to think a few months of targeted strikes could lower US munitions meaningfully.
Raytheon makes about 100 tomahawk missiles a year. We've used over 1000
I don't know what our current stockpiles were to begin the war but we did burn through years of production in months
Of course that's just that one asset. I haven't looked into other munitions so I'll refrain from commenting further.
We did move intercept systems from South Korea to the middle east so that could tell you something.

I still don’t understand how we spend nearly a trillion dollars a year on our military and can’t wipe out a bunch of guys in speedboats with guns from the 80s

It's the shock and awe in the opening salvo of the conflict
What percentage of total munitions were used for “shock and awe”? Do you have any data to support your moronic take?

We have been ramping up production on all of these since Trump's first term. It went into hyperdrive a few months before Ukraine and then Trump kicked it into warp speed upon his return. We got plenty. We can replace those numbers in 6-8 weeks probably. We're getting rid of the shite with short shelf lives.

Do you know how many people are employed in our MIC - wars are great for our economy and I am all for them. Forever wars have a bad wrap but I’m thankful for Trump and the competency he has run this - it will be studied for years on how to run a war.

LMAO. Those are old, outdated numbers.

Now do Lockheed's output too. And with more up to date numbers for both.

Gateway is just as terrible as the rest of the MSM. But we have heard we are running low on ammunitions since the Russia War started

I can assure you it's not for lack of munitions.

Is this like when they reported it two weeks into the attack? Or when they reported we were almost out 1 month in. Or I guess it might be similar to when they reported it the other 5 times. The good thing about having zero accountability or integrity is they can keep saying it and they might be right at some point.

There is a potential fuel shortage angle.

Miller concludes that the crisis is not due to a collapse in refinery output or a fabricated inventory, but rather a combination of structurally low inventories, high ongoing exports, and fragmented public reporting that obscures the military’s draw on national fuel supplies. The evidence supports the view that Rotterdam acts as a shadow endpoint for US fuel, facilitating onward distribution to US/NATO bases, Israel, and other theaters, but the lack of transparent, reconciled accounting prevents the public from knowing the true allocation. The report calls for a unified, detailed ledger to clarify how much fuel is being diverted from domestic resilience to military and foreign operations.
I am assuming that Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Burgham know this and briefed Trump on it. Stripping the US civilian sector of diesel and jet fuel surpluses at a time when the global supply is still severely constrained by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthi blockade of Saudi oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz increases the risk of damaging the US domestic economy. Did this fact also convince President Trump that a massive attack on Iran at this time would be ill-advised? Worth considering.

Many outlets reporting on diminished US munitions
I had nothing to substantiate it but I had this feeling that the reason we have been playing this will they, won't they treaty talk is because we were running low on defensive munitions used against drones.

Being former military let me explain something to you. No one on this board has the security clearance to know what we had, have used nor what is left. To even make a statement on our inventory is ludicrous and shows a pure lack of knowledge on how security clearance works.

Now that could be a possibility.

This is 100% true. That information is a serious national secret not the sometimes ridiculously overly secured information you see with our federal government.
I have some hunches but they'll only be hunches until we start seeing the ramifications of stockpile exhaustion in the field.

We did not stop bombing because of Trump being merciful.
We stopped because Brent Crude hit $100/bbl and the 10 year bond return hit its highest since 2005.

We can, but Americans don't have the appetite to do what's required. See Gaza
