If only previous administrations had produced more of something that was obviously necessary in any form of conflict.

Kind of like if only previous administrations had handled Iran from the get go, we wouldn’t be in the predicament we’re in.


Almost like appeasement NEVER frickING WORKS.

When the current administration is also a previous administration didn't we do an across the board 10% increase in military spending in 2018 or so, for exactly these reasons?

Obviously not if we don’t have more than a few months worth of xyz.

Good question. Their most recent budget is damn near a trillion dollars, and Pete was doing the song and dance begging for another $200 billion bump as early as March. That was around the same time they floated the idea of wanting to increase the next budget up to $1.5 trillion.

Fwiw we don't run low. The only thing we could conceivably run low on is the trueley exotic stuff. Everything else we have.

Trillion dollar a year military spending and we can’t handle sustained conflict for a few months?

Where is all the money going?


That is a great question.

Are you including Trump's first term in that group?

He is in his 6th year now. Not a whole lot of time left.

This will solve the problem of running low in ammunitions - if Israel starts firing off rockets that were given to them by US taxpayers, then the US saves a lot of dough.
