I get it, corporate media did this to themselves with things like Russiagate. But, as I said with Ukraine/Russia, there is an independent media ecosystem saying very different things than this administration and MSM about this conflict. The difference, this time, is MAGA doesn't want to hear it.


They don't want to hear it unless it is the NPC talking points, obviously.

The funny part is how those talking points can change and those who maintain the old ones are now the enemy.

It's been glorious to watch it all

It's pretty scary that there is literally nothing a mainstream media company can publish that casts the administration in a negative light (which this article isn't even doing) that you guys will ever believe


They could start by publishing something that actually comes to a conclusion that makes sense

The title of this article serves no purpose other than to get chicken littles like you fired up

As we’ve demonstrated in about 15 min here the math on their “alarming” conclusion is anything but alarming.

They speak not at all about the logic of having a “stockpile” in order to begin a campaign, or the reasonableness of using 20% of the stockpile of a strategic category of weapon in order to render your opponent defenseless against you for (most likely) years.

They don’t discuss at all how the battle then changes to other forms of weaponry allowing you ample time to resupply the stockpile that was made for this purpose

It’s a rag. Made for gullible idiots like you. You slurped it up. Don’t be mad because the rest of us see it for the agenda rag it is

During the peak of ww2 we were producing around 300 military aircraft/day. All of our current production is still intact while Iran's has been devastated.

The US is launched approximately 850 Tomahawk missiles in the current crisis. There was an original stock pile of over 4000 and the government is already increased output to 1000 per year. Doubtful this is an issue.

They're saying the current burn rate of a specific type of missile is not sustainable at a level where they can be replaced in a timely manner



Yeah.

That's their escape phrase when they're wrong.

That and ignoring it’s a category of weapon who’s “burn rate” is high by definition for the beginning of a campaign.

No commentary about whether its purpose was successful at this high burn rate, or whether that success will then reduce the burn rate.


In other words nobody but an idiot would conclude this burn rate was intended to be sustainable (or they would have fricking stockpiled more)

But I asked a question and you only replied back about briefings.
What I am saying is the PAO briefings are very clear when we are using long standoff PGMs to emphasize the minimal risk being placed on aircrew and our desire to not just hit the targets we want to hit, but minimize collateral damage.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if it was a TLAM, JASSM, or PrSM.

You should be embarrassed to post your OP, especially without comment or taking a position on its content

It’s not news. It’s barely a badly written opinion piece

It’s meant to paint the US military in a light where it doesn’t know what it’s doing.

It doesn’t hurt my feelings. It tells me exactly who you are and what you’re willing to do to paint the US military in the same light (especially when you don’t have the balls to comment on it)

How about ppl put there name on instead of according to sources. That way we can at least think its legit

Cause thats been said for 10yrs and it is never true

Its amazing how you believe that BS cause of your sudden TDS and hatred of joos

See what I was saying earlier about no self-respect and a willingness to say anything whatsoever? Even feigning ignorance is a go-to tactic of theirs! Lol. Ignoring things that are blatantly obvious to everyone else, has been acknowledged as such a long time ago, and instead playing “Is there something wrong with WaPo citing anonymous sources to criticize Trump? I mean, what bro??”

As if this doesn’t happen nearly every single day, exact same tactic.

It takes longer to make one than to shoot one. Thats why we only shoot them every few years

And why we stockpile an appropriate amount as determined by our military experts who do this for a living


Which is apparently not expert enough to prevent the WaPo, the OP and at least one other here from running around like chickens with their heads cut off being “alarmed” about something they are woefully unprepared to discuss or defend.
