Maybe the Pentagon should have been worried about logistics instead of college professors being "woke".

[Zincwarrior]

So now we may have a shortage of some of our best weapons. Perhaps Putrid Pete's war on "woke" was a bit stupid. The name of the game in modern warfare is logistics, and nobody in the Trump admin seems to realize this.

Russia has been at war with Ukraine for over 4 years now. They have threatened to go to war with NATO. On that alone we should have been building up our stockpiles of weapons.

Our military spending is upside down and out of control

Thankfully, before long we'll no longer have to worry about our presence in the ME.

Time to rethink our entire approach to Defense

 

[Concerned American]

Sure, easily done, even a military source;

The U.S. military is currently facing a critical shortage of Tomahawk cruise missiles and missile interceptors, particularly in the context of its ongoing operations in the Middle East. Reports indicate that the U.S. has fired over 850 Tomahawk missiles in just four weeks of war with Iran, a pace that has raised concerns about the sustainability of its missile stockpiles. The Pentagon does not publicly disclose the total inventory of Tomahawks, but the current burn rate has drawn scrutiny, with some officials describing the number of missiles left in the Middle East as "alarmingly low." The reliance on long-range precision weapons like Tomahawks has prompted urgent discussions within the Pentagon on boosting supply and production to address this issue.

A think tank employee's speculation is not a source either. SMH, you morons will fall for anything you read even when it is from 'ANONYMOUS sources.' LOL

How do you know they haven't?

Just as the botched withdraw from Afghanistan started before Biden took office, this weapon shortage can't be entirely laid at the Trump administration's feet. Weapons sent to Ukraine have also diminished our stockpile.

Biden/Trump, the two worse U.S. presidents to serve back-to-back since at least the start of the 20th century.

Biden was overall a good President. However, he did make a mistake by not sending some of our best to Ukraine as a real war testing ground. Almost all that we sent was old stuff that we were going to scrap in any case. Cheaper to give it to Ukraine than render it harmless here, especially the HE. And we should have been trading that for Ukraine's blue prints for cheap effective drones and missiles, which they have shown themselves to be the world's leading experts at building. Necessity is a mother.

Because we haven't any more to give to our allies in the Mid-east.

Another dozen heroes wounded. Orange Jesus Bonespurs who sent them to die is safe so everything is ok.

OK, then, so us your bravery and patriotism by volunteering for the Marines and service in the Mid-east. LOL And before you say it, I volunteered for military service during the Cuban Crisis. In uniform, on base, when we stopped those Soviet ships off of Cuba.

The US is currently facing challenges in supplying its allies in the Middle East with anti-missile missiles, particularly due to the ongoing conflict with Iran. The US and its allies are using various weapons platforms to counter incoming missiles and drones, but the supply of these interceptors has been strained. The US stockpiles of Thaad interceptors, Patriot systems, and SM-family naval missiles are dangerously low, with many having been provided to Ukraine and used in the Red Sea and Indo-Pacific. The Gulf states are also facing the same issue, with their air defenses being tested against both long-range missiles and Shahed exploding drones. The situation is critical, as the US and its allies must make difficult choices about which targets to protect during a prolonged conflict.

Your “source” is pretty clearly valueless.

I don’t doubt that we’ve used a large amount of our weapons. But I do doubt that our fighting forces and their leadership are familiar with concepts like replacing stock as used.

He was correct, and it is not just about Trump's active war, but it takes time to replace stockpiles being depleted of the advanced stuff. This could hamper our ability to deal conventionally with another far more powerful foe of the US than Iran. There have been several articles along those line also.

The **** he was. He was a demented stage prop.

He was correct, you claim. But like the dopey OP, you simply state your baseless opinions and show no factual support for it.

Joe Biden gave it all to his buddy Zelenskyy in Ukraine, you know, the same people who paid his son millions just to sit on the board of a gas company he knew nothing about.

Yes, Hunter obviously used his father's name for his personal gain. Hardly a new thing with President's relatives. Pretty paltry compared to the billions made by Trump's son in law and Ivanka using Trump's name. And Trump's boys are doing the same. Not right by anybody.

No, most of what we gave to Zelensky was outdated material and weapons. We should have been giving him our newest stuff to test in real war conditions. And had payment by copies of the drones and missiles that Ukraine has developed.
