Pedo 47 Is Responsible For Pentagon Munitions Shortfall

Tuesday, September 15, 2026

The Defense Department's inspector general revealed Monday that the United States is facing a shortfall in ammunition as a result of its costly war in Iran. In a first-of-its-kind mandatory report to Congress, the inspector said that between Feb. 28 and June 30, Operation Epic Fury (OEF) had an estimated cost of $33.4 billion, with $22.3 billion of that spent on munitions alone. "The munitions expenditure on OEF has resulted in strategic inventory shortfalls and revealed industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply," the report states.

The munitions shortfall won't prevent the loathsome------------------- from selling 2000 lb bombs to Israel.

The munitions problems are a long term problem no one President or Congress , or General wanted to address.

US can't manufacture arms, though it spends an enormous amount on "defense".
1. 600 Patriot missiles per year
2. 90 to 100 tomahawk missiles a year.
3. 430,000 artillery shells a year. - 3.4 million per year for Russia.

Pres Trump said such reporting was fake news.

What do you think any war time president would say? Your understanding of the world is so shallow.

The munitions problems are a direct result of starting a war with Iran that no other president was stupid enough to do.

A bunch of lies, naturally.

During World War II I would imagine we were running low on munitions, weapons, etc........did we announce to Germany and Japan we were running low?

We ramped up production of a lot of stuff during that short time and it wasn't likely a secret.

But specifically, what were low on.....did we announce that to our enemies?

Is it possible we may have deliberately misinformed our enemies of our supplies?

guess Trump should have just done that 'effective dem action' of shaking finger and just telling them "DON'T"......

I always eagerly await for the moment in each thread of this ilk where some ultra-maroon barges in and stumbles into a steaming pile of situational dogshit and ends up comparing the last 80 years of American elective military terrorist actions, invasions, interventions and occupations with the necessity of preparing and producing for and then fighting against Japan and Germany in the 1930s and 40s.

"guess Trump should have just done"

Only inveterate poltroons and klepto-morons think there's only two choices of action in any given situation.

Yup.

Usually the two extreme worst cases you can think of, too.

Unfortunately the media runs with it and the Hoi Polloi slurp it up.

try again, boy.

I made no comparisons. I asked questions. I'm not defending anything we're doing now nor attacking the accuracy of what's being reported.

I asked questions.

I always eagerly away for the ultra hypersensitive childish dipshit begging to be taken seriously to furiously scream in my direction
