OK. You're free to believe whatever and whomever you want to.

But then, Iran has been obliterated, yet they still have ballistic missiles and drones to keep the strait closed. They have been obliterated, yet American bases in the gulf states are constantly evacuating. They have been obliterated, yet Ukraine had to directly enter the war to attack an Iranian cargo vessel. They have been obliterated, yet America is considering ground invasion (which definitely won't end well for them).

No one is saying Iran is winning the war, far from it. But the world is at their mercy, and the world is under more pressure to find a solution to the war than Iran is. You can only bully people for so long.
IRAN HAS WON THE WAR.

My point is that Hegseth is drunk again and lying as usual.

The US has severely deleted it's missile stockpile and is dangerously running low on conventional artillery rounds all courtesy of giving it all away to Israel to bomb Gaza and southern Lebanon and to Ukraine in their foolish war against Russia.
Depleting weapons stockpile is normal as they aren't there for fancy.....thinking they're very low on them is where the problem is and it will be stupid for anyone to actually believe that. grin.

I agree with you.

However, the area of depletion is with their defensive missiles and batteries.

The US is trying to blow up Pickaxe mountain in Iran with a tactical nuk called B-61.
They will drop GBU-57s first to create deep blasts and penetration into the mountain before dropping the nuks.

US have thousands of those nuks. It will blast the bunker out front the ground. That's one of the major places where Iran kept it's enriched uranium and missiles. It's about 300 to 450 feet deep. Deeper than the strength of any conventional bunker busting bomb.


The confidence of Iran is in their mountains which has given them capacity to dig extensive bunkers.
Tried and failed. Or, are they waiting for order from you, sir?

US is not the top global arms producer by volume .

Russia alone far outproduce the US and entire NATO.

If you talk of overinflated wunderwaffen, then give it to the US.

Russia just unveiled a very cheap version of the US Tomahawk missile system that is going for about $150k compared to $2ml that the US military industrial complex charges for one Tomahawk missile.

As per drones, the US is nowhere near both China, Russia and Iran in drone production.

The Iranian Sahaed drone that runs on a lawnmower engine cost under $15k. China is building their own arsenal based on this same model at far lower cost. The US MIC will probably charge no less than $300k per unit.

The US MIC is garbage .
You’re half right and half talking nonsense.

Yes Russia is outproducing in shells and yes US weapons are overpriced. $2M Tomahawk vs $15k Shahed proves it.

But "US MIC is garbage"? The same MIC is defending Israel, running 800 bases, and has 11 carriers. Russia and Iran can’t do that.

We’re not out of weapons. We’re out of cheap weapons. That’s the real issue.

Facts: Yes the US sent weapons to Ukraine and Israel and some stocks like 155mm shells got low.

Lies: "Severely depleted" and "dangerously running low".

The US makes more munitions in 3 years than Ukraine and Israel have fired combined. Nukes, carriers and bombers are untouched.

All bases in the ME have been abandoned save for that in Jordan.


Carriers are obsolete and the US Navy knows it that in a hot war with a nuclear power, those carrier fleets will be sitting in the bottom of the ocean.

Defending Israel against Hamas and Hezbollah who are armed with just small arms fire is not an achievement.

Wrong.

US bases in the ME are not abandoned. US still has troops in Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. Only some were downsized, not closed.

Carriers are not obsolete. That’s why China and Russia are building their own. In a war vs a nuclear power no surface ship is "safe", but carriers still project power no other country can match. US has 11, Russia has 1, China has 3.

Defending Israel was not vs "small arms". It was vs 300+ Iranian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones in one night. Hamas and Hezbollah have ATGMs and rockets too.

You can hate US policy, but lying about US capabilities doesn’t make Russia or Iran stronger.

Trump just sacked the captain of a US nuclear submarine .

This will be the latest of several dozens of US Generals that Trump and Hegseth have sacked for telling them the truth.

As everything stands, Israelis are just setting Trump up to have only the nuclear option left in dealing with Iran, Russia and China.

Those Israelis are hell bent on kicking off a global nuclear holocaust as it fits right in with their satanic superstitions that there must be a massive die off by fire of humanity to usher in their Messiah.

If you think I am talking trash, know now that Netanyahu's cabinet is filled to the brim with Jewish zealots who subscribe to the Jewish Messiah doctrine that they believe must be unvieled before 2030.

Palestinians are the red heifers that are being ritually slaughtered to pave way fir the building of the third Temple as Jews believe they are direct descendants of Esau .

The mass holocaust ritual is to commence on the whole planet to allow the Jewish Messiah aka antichrist appear.

You didn't read the article. The article said they're running shortage of certain specific weapons like ATACMS, long range accurate missile delivery systems, and it also cited they will have to start deploying long range missiles by delivering it via helis, shorter range missiles,etc...

The fact Hegseth replied means it's true.

Bro that’s not how war works. The US didn’t go to war with Iran. US struck nuclear sites and left. That was the mission.

The US has not "failed" to beat Iran. The US chose not to start a full ground war in the Middle East. Big difference.

If the US wanted regime change in Iran it could do it. The question is cost, casualties, and what happens after. Not capability.

Stop confusing restraint with weakness.

Copium.

Iranian proxies just overrun the US based in Erbil, Iraq.

US bases in Qatar, Saudi and Kuwait have all been shuttered.

The US no longer uses their air bases in these countries but is now restricted to Jordan and surprisingly Israel.

Their so-called best ally had refused US jets from using their bases but since the first US-Iran war, that saw to US military assets being bombed, the Israelis were forced to allow the US operate from their bases.

It's all a cluster fck which has exposed the US military as a paper tiger and Iran has made it clear that all those US military bases close to its borders in and around the Gulf kingdom states will never be allowed to return.

This is why Saudi Arabia signed a military pact with Nuclear armed Pakistan because the Americans have been exposed to be useless in defending the Gulf Kingdom states and has shown it will rather priorize defending Israel.

You jumped from munitions to "satanic Messiah and red heifers" real quick.

1. Trump did fire officers. That happens in every administration. Doesn’t mean the US Navy is empty. US still has 14 ballistic missile subs and the largest nuclear arsenal on earth.

2. Israel is not "setting up" the US for nuclear war. The US makes its own decisions. US struck Iran nuclear sites and stopped. That was policy, not being dragged.

3. The rest about Messiah doctrine and red heifers is YouTube theology, not geopolitics. Netanyahu’s cabinet is political, not running rituals to start WW3.

Stick to the argument: Can the US fight or not. The answer is yes. The question is price and politics. Not "global holocaust".

"Copium" 😂 Bro you just made half of that up.

1. Erbil: No US base was "overrun". There were rocket attacks. US troops are still there. Same with Syria.
2. Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi: US still operates from Al Udeid, Naval Base Bahrain, Al Dhafra, and Prince Sultan. Some missions were reduced, none were "shuttered". Jordan is not the only one.
3. Israel: US jets absolutely use Israeli bases for refueling and joint drills. That never stopped.
4. Saudi + Pakistan: That pact is about missiles and nukes, not because the US "left". The US still sells Saudi billions in air defense and still has CENTCOM in Qatar.

US bases didn’t disappear. US posture changed because the threat changed. That’s not "paper tiger". That’s strategy.

It is true that there is weapon depletion but US needs to be careful in going all out against Iran because war can break out with either China or Russia


Another fact is that the weapon US reserve for Iran war is exhausted going beyond what is planned will be a big disaster

Guy, you think we are stupid and don't see or read of Israeli politicians like Ben Gavir pouting off messianic bullshit?

The state of Israel is by all ramifications a Zionist project to return all Jews to Palestine with the sole aim of rebuilding the Third Temple so as to return Jews to Temple Judaism that has Satan as their god to offer human sacrifices to.

Zionism is satanism to the core and the state of Israel is a manifestation of that synagogue of satan.

Shatap.

The goal of the US was to instigate regime change and also balkanization of Iran along ethnic divides most notably by stirring up Kurds and Arabs to breakaway and from there plunge Iran into a Libyan state of constant civil war.

None of that happened .

The younger generation that were hostile to their conservative islamic govt instead became more nationalistic.

The ethnic Arabs and Kurds did not take the bait to declare seccesion from Tehran but instead became more committed to Iran as a country.

The US has failed to recruit proxies from within Iran because many still remember the disastrous brutal years under the puppet Sha who was being backed and propped by the US and UK and will rather live under the Islamic regime than go back to being ruled by US and UK stooges.

This has ruled out any talk of a ground invasion as the local populace will be united to fight against their invaders.

You say the US won. How?

No war has ever been won by just air bombings.

Let Trump send US troops first and he will see what real war is both in Iran and the US because a ground war with Iran isn't possible without Trunp initiating the military draft. And a military draft is more than certain to kickstart a US civil war as over 70% of Americans across board do not support this war with the younger generation having a higher disaffection towards both a war against Iran and the state of Israel.


Trump knows he screwed up big time.

Billions wasted ($58bn) in prosecuting this war with hundreds of billions of military assets in US and Arab military assets destroyed . Some of these assets are irreplaceable such as the $1bn radar system and AWAC aircrafts that can not be reproduced due to lost manpower and expertise .

This war also exposed how useless aircraft carriers are with the two aircraft carrier fleets forced out of the Persian gulf due to Iranian ballistic missile and drone swarm attacks. One of those carrier fleet had to move deep into the Indian ocean , 1000km away from the Persian Gulf .

The straits still remain under full Iranian control and the Houthis have also blocked their own straits to the west .

So what exactly did Trump and Kegsbreath Call Of Duty ™ gain in this war?

Bombing school girls , civilian infrastructure is terrorism and not in any way a military victory.

Even Trump knows he screwed up really bad by poking the Iranians and has to keep his sabre toothing posts every Friday evening on his Truth Social to get his dwindling Migger supporters to still see him as Mr Tough guy then first thing on Monday morning, he comes out with outright lies and bs that he and Iran are reaching a peace settlement just so that oil prices remain calm and the markets gambling dens in Jew York don't crash.

Trunp is finished and he knows it.

He will be lucky to get 30% Republican seats in both houses from the midterm elections as Americans are now identifying AIPAC sponsored politicians just to vote them out this coming midterms.

And when that happens, Taco Zion Don is going to get impeached for insider trading, war crimes, corruption, breach of the constitution and be sent to an FSP maximum prison to rot away for the rest of his pathetic life.
