re: What is the pentagon doing with one trillion dollars this year?

They have been handcuffed the past few months. Even if they had a perfect plan and strategy to win the conflict with Iran they couldn’t execute the plan because the politicians will not get out of the way.

Massie-Tucker-Owens mega-thread (and others who have VERY particular things in common that generate 50 threads per week from X-posts). Really need one.
BTW, didn’t he lose his election? Irrelevant, yes?

Serious question. Before the war (not really a war) began, were we in negotiations over the SOH? If not, then go back to what it was before and problem solved.

The Tea Party started in early 2009, when our debt was about $11 trillion. We are now at $40 trillion. I’m not an economist, but how we are still afloat baffles me.
re: The US not having enough munitions is a lie

Munitions or lack thereof is a narrative that distracts from the conversation that should be taking place.

quote:Oh, I understand it just fine. Look up what the ‘tea party’ was about. The President as well as the legislature is fine with $2T/yr deficits. There is no restraint AT all. FedGov is a bloated corrupt carcass filled with taxpayer dollars that become devalued more and more every day. Anyone who mentions it becomes a pariah and is not a ‘team player.’
We've had it! The American First/MAGA movement. It amazes me that some don't understand this..... the MAGA folks made our voices heard when Trump won. But that was only for POTUS. Just because Trump won doesn't change Congress.

Also, communist countries supporting other communists countries is not a shocker. But at least we have a new imminent threat, so there’s that.

Yeah but that’s not what you said.
The only threat he poses is to fragile egos.

Tuckers the one who is talking about starting a new party. Why would he start a new party if he wasn’t going to run or be a part of it? There’s supposed to be “big news” on his podcast tonight. He’s either doing it or grifting.

It’s closer to $40T now. If the status quo is upheld, $13-15T will have been accumulated under his presidency(ies).

The number of ‘X’ posters who dedicate themselves to going after Tucker and gaslighting people is ridiculous. 5 or 6 posters here make threads with these as the OP multiple times per week. Y’all are the epitome of a BOT. FFS, sticky a Tucker thread and be done with it. No one believes he is running for president or has any desire/intention to. The degree to which he triggers some of you is insane.

It’s funny that the new objective of this conflict is just to hopefully get things back to the way they were before we started it
re: Reuters: US has used "virtually all" of its precision strike missiles
Posted by Pragmatist2025 on 8/4/26 at 2:07 pm to joshnorris14
Since I don’t do ‘X’, is this ‘offensive’ munitions or interceptors? I am not military, so I am guessing those are quite different in both use and supply, as far as quantity.
Whatever the case, isn’t this a foreseen development in any military campaign that is basically aerial?
