That’s a pretty terrible option too. Now that Ukraine has the ability to strike pretty anywhere in western Russia time is not his side. Especially with the renewed Ukrainian support from the USA. They’re taking too many casualties and Ukraine has made advances in some areas of the country. Advancing a couple yards a week ain’t gonna cut it.

I don't see a problem here... the EU hasn't been very friendly to the US lately.
Let em figure it out!
They should contact Lucky Palmer, he probably has something he'd sell em.

Okay. The US stockpiles of air defense missiles are critical across the globe. And like it or not if Russia attacks NATO we’re gonna be in the fight. Probably in the leading role and taking a large portion of the casualties.

Good or bad. Right or wrong. It's what Russia is doing.

They should have been buying Patriot missiles instead of paying for illegal immigrants to have universal healthcare.

Is this why our CIA chief flew to Moscow for a visit?

You are privy to the amount we had when the calendar flipped to 2026? Then you know how the number we have expended since then? And you are also aware of exact production numbers for the past 6 months?

I would love to hear the exact numbers from you.

We shot some missile's yesterday
We shot some more missiles today
I wonder how many missiles we have, we shot some yesterday
I heard we shot some missiles, i hope we have a lot
I heard we shot some missiles, we can't have an unlimited number
I heard we did not shoot any missiles yesterday, you think we have enough?
Probably using too many missiles
I heard we used too many missiles and we might be needing some more
I heard we are low on missiles
I heard we were really low on missiles
I heard we are almost out of missles.
I heard we lost the war and stopped bombing because we we are definitely out of missles.
I heard we have to buy our missiles from China, cuz we got no more and can't make our own.

I don’t think you know what common sense means. But open source can tell how many we produce per year. We can estimate how many we’ve fired during the war. It’s probably public info how many we’ve given to Ukraine.

So yeah, we’re short on missiles. It’s not a secret. I don’t know why everything in the military is super top secret. It’s not. How many factories produce patriots? One or two? Do you think all the people that work in those factories are sworn to secrecy and never go have a beer after work and talk about it? It would completely pointless try to keep the production rate a complete secret. We live in an open society. Russia and China and Iran know pretty much exactly what the production rate is, how many we’ve given to Ukraine, how many we’ve fired in the Iran war and what our stockpiles were prior to the wars. It’s simple math.

Not what I’m saying. I’m saying the lefties could be lying but be a part of the federal government.

the starting and stopping of our offensives certainly makes it appear we are having some inventory issues.


I tend to agree with that. I’ll also throw out there that Trump could’ve been fed a bunch of BS in the run up to the war and he’s come to a realization that bombing isn’t going to do what he was assured it would. Thus the major shift to hammering their economy and possibly going after anyone that does any sort of business with Iran.

Most Americans air defenses have been shifted to the Middle East and what little Europe does have has mostly been sent to Ukraine.


Ukraine has been sucking down NATO munitions for 4-5 yrs now so why do you think it is the ME that is causing this issue?
