We have expended a huge portion of both our offensive and defensive munitions in Iran. These are expensive, hard to build missiles that we can’t ramp up production for quickly. 🧵 youtu.be/vZUJHUkC-3M?...

Our inventory was already low at the beginning of the conflict and at best it will take 3- 4 years to rebuild to pre-conflict levels. The Chinese are tallying every tomahawk we expend in their calculations.

This also assumes that with missiles like the Patriot, we will cancel all foreign contracts, meaning the 18 other countries whom we have convinced to use the system will have no new missles available.

The entire world is now asking the question of whether it is in their best interest to buy American weapons systems, threatening a powerful tool we had in economic pressure.

There’s a famous quote: “Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics.” It is clear that we had not taken logistics into account when we entered into this war of choice.

Our tactical options are now being constrained by our logistical limits, and the world, including our adversaries, have now learned exactly how long our logistical leash is.

The #UnitarianUniversalist Association did not take #TheUNwrittenSubtext into account when it accused me of #BlasphemousLibel for blogging about "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" committed by pedophile*rapist #UUAclergy. 🤣😇 emersonavenger.blogspot.com/2015/10/unit... #UUA #UUtheology
