Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, August 01, 2026

A top U.S. general is reportedly warning the Pentagon he does not have the resources to "protect" Israel from incoming ballistic missiles amid the ongoing Iran war. The Washington Post's Dan Lamothe reported on Saturday that Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, the head of U.S. European Command, sent a written warning to leaders at the Pentagon saying that "without another Navy destroyer he will be forced to choose defense of the United States 'homeland' over that of Israel," according to officials speaking on the condition of anonymity. Grynkewich is requesting another Navy destroyer ship in order to "protect" Israel. The warning comes as the U.S. military has stretched resources to create a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

Dummkopf Trumpf will apoogize to Bibi by putting his face on either the US passport, the $250 bill, or a coin.

I'm not yet sure I'd go that far. But it does seem to me that PM Netanyahu has a certain, ummm, effect and control over Pres Trump. For better or worse. imo, for worse.

This past week, when I had heard that PM Netanyah was going to visit the White House to speak with Pres Trump, my first thought was along the lines of ... OK, we are going into another escalation cycle.

That thought does not appear to be wrong.
