Trump’s US Missile Crisis EXPLODES AGAIN
from Kernow Damo
Right, so carrot-coloured calamity Donald Trump’s war on Iran has consumed half to two-thirds of America's most advanced interceptors, the very missiles designed to prevent Iranian drones and ballistic missiles from turning American bases into costly fires. They're mumbling about a lack of strategic inventories, military speak for: we ran out of all our best toys, and our factory elves can't come up with anything new anytime soon to bail us out of this self-inflicted act of idiocy. The Congressional Budget Office, the CBO, now says it will take five years to make it up, and that is after they’ve converted hundreds of US military barracks into modern art installations and have sent dozens of planes to the scrap heap. Trump has, without doubt, left the US insufficiently stocked for the next conflict, and replenishment may be difficult to complete before his term ends. Quite the legacy. Trump's Iran war has already melted down thirty-eight billion dollars of American cash; US military bases have been tenderised like discount steak, planes have been shredded or vaporised, and the interceptors that were to protect them have been burnt so quickly that they won't be able to be replaced for five years either. So what is Donald Trump's answer to this sparkling new American crisis of defence then? He has, of course, come out for Israel again, with another $2.8 billion arms package that will include 40,000 bombs some of which will weigh in at more than 2000lbs. America pays for Trump’s war in Iran. America pays again for all the things this war eats up and spits out. And then America pays yet again, because heaven forbid Benjamin Netanyahu's bomb pantry ever looks a bit bare. Israel first, then Israel again and then Israel again.
