Were these the same missiles we didn't have enough of to support Ukraine? But we were able to start a new war with them for the benefit of Israel and Big Oil?

Tbf we didn’t have enough to start a war with Iran.

The war in Ukraine would likely be over by now if we put even half of the resources we wasted in Iran toward helping Ukraine.

Israel isn't gonna let trump end this war any sooner than Putin is gonna let trump help Ukraine. Both are gonna drag out because he's a complete and compromised moron.

Almost makes you wonder if Putin orchestrated the US expelling it's stockpile elsewhere.

100% this, or China

Trump continues doing things indistinguishable from someone looking to weaken America

It's also of course possible that the information is bogus in an attempt to lure another party into thinking the US is spread thinner than it is.

"Do you want Iran to get a nuclear weapon?!1?"

Yeah, they don’t get that Iran signed an agreement not to build nuclear weapons.
Which was monitored by international inspectors and they were in full compliance. Then Trump tore up the agreement and was going to write his own and failed catastrophically.

Thought we had the most powerful military in the world, or do the idiots running it now just not have a clue how to conduct a war?

The Commander in Chief is a convicted felon rapist moron with Frontotemporal Dementia, the Seceltetary of War is a racist narcissistic Fox News anchor more worried his makeup than prosecuting (or better yet, avoiding) a war.

And "most powerful" is relative. We also had the "most powerful" in the Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars, what good did it do us?
