What we have done so far still does not rise to the legal definition of a war. And it's somewhat important to make the distinction as the POTUS cannot just go to war without approval from the Congress.

Israel seems to be at war though.

Well considering that last administration sent so many to Ukraine as fulfillments faltered I would think catching up on will take some time.

Well, we don't have time. Somebody in the US has estimated how many missiles and drones the Iranians have. If your stockpile to take care of that problem is a quarter of what you need, somebody screwed up. There are no oopsies at this point.

Officially we have not been at war since 1942. So there's that.

Well, I guess that's true. But still, just dropping bombs on a country and leaving (there still isn't any indication through asset placement or in voiced objectives that they plan on doing anything else) does not meet the legal definition of a war.

If that were the case then Obama started about eleventy wars in the middle east when he bombed every one of those damn countries over there.

Intense and paranoia isn’t automatically a bad thing all things considered.

It’s actually what you look for in a war planner particularly in an actual time of war.

If they were taking two hour lunches at the country club that would be the real story.

Isn't that in the article? And I've heard it reported elsewhere. Three of our interceptors for every one of their ballistic missiles? Individually, I'm not trying to claim anything other than an opinion that it would be embarrassing (and worse) if we ran out of stuff.
It's the WaPo reporting so there's that.

Was estimated Iran had 4000 and a capable leadership along with capable military. Well leaders failed and military is acting independently as command has broken down. I’m thinking Alabama alone has enough firepower itself let alone the might of the military. When you have “people familiar with “ or “unnamed sources “ you can wipe your arse with that info

As I said, it's WaPo. I'm sure they have a narrative they want out.

If there really is a dwindling stockpile of weapons (which I doubt) then you can thank Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland for that. I cannot stress how this war between Ukraine and Russia was totally avoidable.

Joe Biden was a total disaster - in truth someone behind that Autopen was really running the country.

I knew as far back as the Lyndon Johnson years the corrupt democrats would eventually bring us to the verge of monetary, social, and judicial collaspe. Thank God the people came to their senses and elected President Trump to office for a second time (they stole that election in 2020).

Now the unthinkable has happened - Joe Biden and the democrats have opened our borders and let in these radical Islamic demons into our country. THIS WILL NOT END WELL.

The terrorist who shot and killed those two people and wounded 14 last Sunday in Austin, Texas wore "Property of Allah" clothing. They're here and they intend to kill us. Keep your head on a swivel America.

......and so it begins.

Trump / Vance 2026 - They're fighting to protect us from radical Islam - the democrats are fighting to protect the radical Islamist

What's the matter commie, you find my post funny. Here, have a downvote.

I knew I would flush at least one of you lunatic democrats. Now I can continue with my day.

Be nice.

P.S. Now we know who sent Thomas Matthew Crooks to assassinate your President Trump.
