How does it benefit the US in negotiations to spread disinformation that makes the enemy think we are weaker than we actually are?




How does it benefit the US to negotiate with IRAN?

Summary of our conversation…


You: All the MSM does is lie, don’t trust these numbers
Me: The US military produced these numbers, not the MSM
You: The US military doesn’t want the enemy to know our munitions numbers, so they’re not going to publish the truth
Me: If we were going to lie about our munitions numbers, we would overstate them, not understate them
You: We shouldn’t be talking to the enemy anyway


For summary:
In 3 successive posts, you made exactly 3 completely different arguments. As soon as one stupid statement got disproven, you shifted the goalpost to a new stupid statement.

You know that these numbers were copied and pasted from legally required open source reporting from the US military, right?

I think what most people are forgetting is that the only hole reason we built all these bombs in the first place was for it to be used in wars.

The easiest way to handle discussion of a difficult subject is simply to ignore it, apparently…

Honestly I don't have a problem that we have used anywhere from 190 - 290 THAAD rockets My biggest problem is that we only had 360 THAAD rockets to start with.

Seriously SM3 or Patriots only having those numbers "Pre War"? we should have over 5000 minim patriot rockets.

I guess this is what 12 years of democratic leadership does to a military.

No… the whole reason we built all these bombs in the first place was to win these wars.

You seem obsessed with Jews
Is it possible that the truth regarding this is somewhere in the middle? We gave away a lot of crap to Ukraine for one.

Have we won a war since WWII? Maybe Iraq I (Desert Storm) but even then we stopped short. Its almost like we don't try to win but want to just 'negotiate'.

The problem is it takes 24-30 months to build one.

To get to 5000, at the rate Lockheed builds them, it would have taken 8 years without firing a single one to get to that, and that's assuming best case production rate.

How were we supposed to fight China or Russia one day if we are running out of munitions fighting Iran? Doesn't make sense.

We had to shorten the initiative of war for lack of planning on using supplies.

Do you think the media has a clue what the status of munitions supply is at any point in time?

I think there is without a doubt the chance that they know this information. I don't think they are blindly making this up. Either someone is providing them highly detailed information that is accurate or they are providing them highly detailed information that is inaccurate.

You can make an educated approximation with the help of some strategic FOIA puzzle piece collecting and analysis. Or just go ask any of the Benedict Generals that love talking about themselves.
