It takes me 2.5 minutes to explain why it’s a lie that we gave all the weapons to Ukraine that we needed for Iran. But the lie can be said in one sentence. We’re at a disadvantage when reality is nuanced. But the truth is essential

I know I heard trumb in a speech talking about "a General" that told him he likes to do "double taps"; though I cannot find that speech. They were reported to be doing this with fishing boats with 'not long range' missiles; but, I heard rumors they double tapped the school. Psycho Pete is to blame.

It was a speech about the September 2 incident. The U.S. military conducted a follow-up strike on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel off the coast of Venezuela, killing two survivors who were clinging to the wreckage. trump and hogsbreath defended the "double-tap."

Biden administration gave Patriot Missiles and AMRAAMs to Ukraine. Those missiles were old. US Forces got new weapons. It's like donating a 2005 Volvo...and getting a 2026 Volvo. Which would you rather have? Plus, no Tomahawk, SM-3 or SM-6 went to UKR. Those are in short supply.

The US gave Ukraine a lot of artillery that is used in a “boots on the ground” war. That isn’t what is being used to defend against Iranian drones. Let’s hope we never get to a boots on the ground war and sacrifice more of our young people needlessly.

Biden said it when he said we were making new munitions, for ourselves, giving from our stockpike. That boosts American industry. However, Biden probably did not think Congress would ever get into another forever war so soon! Want to save money? Stop paying wind farms to cease.

Thanks Adam. Seems like a Trump gold toilet strategy. Let’s use the best materials for the wrong task and who gives a shit cuz it ain’t my money anyways. Much respect for you, brother.

Because the video reverses the image, I had trouble reading the "Ukraine" printed on the shirt. For a moment it looked like "АНАРКУ," or (because my brain mixed up Cryllic and Roman letters, "Anarchy"

I met an arms dealer in 1990 who let me know, in selective &creatively phrased wording , how the US has been selling or supplying arms to allies & enemies in the Middle East, & the world over, for generations.

1) Also, even if America had given all the weapons to Ukraine, the Trump administration had plenty time to replenish the arsenals. 2) More so, it is in fact Trump's desire to use prestige weapons, like in this case, for bizarre targets. www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...

newyorker.comTrump Drops the Mother of All Bombs on AfghanistanAmerica’s biggest non-nuclear bomb was used on one of the smallest militias in the world. That decision revealed the Trump Administration’s revised chain of command.

Knowledge of the intricacies of all the weapons systems in our arsenal is probably not possessed by the vast majority of Americans. Thank you for your 2 1/2 minute overview. Trumpists lie overtly, but they also hide the lie in the details.

This administration had no plan. It still has no plan. And on top of that, it doesn’t understand basic military strategy. Their entire strategy seems to be to look like warriors. That’s it.

Why are we so eager to "beat Iran" though? That's the thing with wealthy white men, they don't have to think so they don't, everything comes to them with not effort Who gives a fuck about Iran? The only reason Iran "hates" the US is because the US attacked it first, and Israel

Weapons being sent to Ukraine were meant to be replenished, the funds allocated to do so were mishandled and ‘disappeared’ once the regime took over. Combined with the fact that we plan for defensive measures and not global conquest we wouldn't have had sufficient armaments no matter what.

The other factor would be allies that no longer trust us with kitchen knives and lighters, much less guns and missiles were in fact responsible for manufacturing much of our weapons supply. Mister tariff ruined that.

Mr kinzinger ! You are a nice guy ,pure at heart Democrat! I would check the pockets of the MAGA Clowns,starting with the orange one! The Pentagon has not passed an EFFIN AUDIT in years, where is all this money going,as a matter of fact,here you empty your pockets! IM EFFIN TIRED OF THIS 💩💩💩

They’ve been conditioned to eat pablum, so it makes it TOO HARD for them to chew their own food. I honestly never expected so many right wing politicians and voters to voluntarily blow up our allies and suck up to our enemies. Keep up the fight.

This fact frustrates me to no end. There is zero pushback when a MAGA apologist attempts to make it an excuse for the situation the country currently faces. Media routinely fails to follow up with simple facts to counteract their obvious attempts to reflect blame that this Administration owns.

tRump used multi-million $ rockets to sink speedboats, then invaded a foreign country & kidnap THEIR president & steal THEIR oil & sell THEIR oil on the world market....now, we are running short of weapons that WE need and tRump wants our taxpayers to pony-up $$$$ to keep his war funded...

What you're saying, Adam, If I have it correct: The US had a lot of munitions that were ready to expire from their useful lifetime, so we gave THAT to Ukraine & then spent money to get new to replace them - money we WOULD HAVE HAD to spend on munitions we needed to replace anyway.

I heard a very good podcast from Jonathan Fink at silicon curtain where he interviewed a Ukrainian writer who worked in the anti-propaganda field in Ukraine and she said they don't do any fact checking because it's ineffectual - and they would know

It ISN'T THE WEAPONS SHORTAGE THAT IS THE PROBLEM, IT IS A WAR PROBLEM, and everybody waging the Iran war is mentally ill, the same thing Republicans say about active shooters, ''it isn't the weapons' fault''
