We blew all our air defense in a stupid war that we lost. Meanwhile Ukraine is fighting its ass off and now empty. History will be harsh to this administration. Send the remaining Patriots to Ukraine now and ramp up production.

Yes, history will memorialize TheRump & his Admin very harshly, as well as our sycophantic media & greedy, brown-nosing politicians. They ALL let us down in a bad way - especially Mike Johnson & John Thune. I can’t believe we’re still on our own in this fight against Fascism to save our democracy.

It's like when the Bush Jr admin went to war in Iraq instead of Afghanistan where the 9/11 plotters lived. They missed by an entire country. Same here. Instead of failing in Iran we could be helping Ukraine win against Russia

The sad fact remains that we have a President who understands nothing except what strokes his oversized ego. Russia wanted all of this for decades. Fracturing of NATO. Restoring the traditional Russian spheres of influence and the Soviet empire. And Trump is playing along.

It’s a catastrophe and none of them should still be in office. Woefully unfit, Hegseth will be remembered as a disservice to our troops and as one of the biggest mistakes the world saw coming (yet Republicans embraced). Because they were never patriots. Quite the opposite. They’re a party of MAGAts.

History will judge Americans, they allowed this attack on the US, our allies, and democracy by republicans. We can end this domestic terrorism at any time. What we don't seem to have is any leaders willing to take up the mantle.

Trump needs someone wicked smart and crafty like Zelensky in his corner. He would be wise to go all in on helping Ukraine and in turn gaining his experience in how to fight a war. Hegseth is out of his element

You’re right. Trump isn’t intelligent enough to see the advantages of engaging with someone smarter that he is. He feels a kindred spirit with Putin for whatever reason and Putin plays Trump like a fine fiddle

There’s a reason why the Founding Fathers separated the power of the purse from the presidency. The problem is the Founders never contemplated Congress would be fully corrupted by a corrupt president. The people have no representation at all right now. This is essentially a weak dictatorship

We have Dem minorities in Congress who must become majorities in November. Then the tide can turn and Dump’s wanton destruction can be checked… and a lot more can happen. Mother Earth gets my vote 🗳️

History will be harsh to this administration? I think history will rank this administration as the most corrupt in the history of the country, maybe in the history of democracies. Harsh doesn't really do justice...

I was bummed when Mr. Rogers died but you're keeping the land of make believe going big time! It's a negative, backwards stupid one but it's there! Bright and shiny! Yay! LMAO!

If China has any serious intentions of invading Taiwan, they will definitely do it in 2027. But its unclear if China really wants to go the military route with Taiwan, so that may be our only saving grace.

Why wouldn't they? Defense packages to Taiwan taiwan from the US are delayed indefinitely. The US doesn't have the ship building capacity to match China and we depleted our interceptors that would protect our assets and allied bases in the east. Unless Taiwan surrenders(it won't) this is inevitable

Because if you gave Xi truth serum, I think he would tell you that he would rather have China be the economic dominant power over taking Taiwan. And going after Taiwan slows that down. China is seen as the rational actor in the world based on Trump and they can use that to their advantage.

Bbbut Biden. We blew our air defenses because Bibi sold Trump on how easy this war was going to be, he believed it, and didn't bother to have any foresight or planning to deal with their drones or missiles.

We won't license Patriots to Ukraine, who could probably build it faster than us, because we are worried about it falling in the wrong hands. But that didn't stop us worrying about giving the Crown Prince nuclear technology. You know, the people responsible for 9/11.

"We really don't know if what the experts say about who was responsible for 911 is true." "I mean, I know more than the 'experts' do." Guess who?

Still can't figure out what we were spending trillions of dollars for throughout my adult life if it didn't buy enough weapons to last through a 180-day war against the likes of Iran.

Not only are Our National Air Defenses at risk, Our National Oil Reserves are at an ALL TIME LOW! Trump has done to this nation what NO ENEMY has ever done. He’s made us the Most Susceptible To Destruction in our History!

It'll have to be 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 harsh punishment for Canada's government 𝘢𝘯𝘥 Canadians to accept that America 'is back'. For one thing, America will 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 to learn to say "I'm sorry" and if it does so 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 enough than 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 we won't demand reparations to cover our American caused losses.

I don't think we even have the capability to ramp up production. Trump and Hegseth expected Iran to be a pushover like Venezuela, so they never even bothered to stockpile anything before starting the war.

We need something cheaper than Patriot missiles. Any enemy can just keep making us spend a million dollars for a few thousand-dollar drone, the cost comparison just ain't right. Are we being ripped-off by arms manufacturers?

No, Europe needs to come up with and produce their own. They should develop their FPs and ditch us. We are an unreliable ally and even worse, a Trojan horse for Russia. No one should trust us ever. I do not trust us.

But Trump is the worlds finest liar and his supporters are the so gullible - it would take an foreign invasion to snap them out of supporting this aHOLE because even Christians have no problem with him being a pedifile

History should be harsh on this administration. It is nothing but a corrupt, greedy, power hungry administration. And the leader of it all cares about nothing but enriching himself.

The extremely stable genius thought that he could drop a few bombs and call it a day and look where he’s got us. Where are republicans? Where are they? Where?

I doubt history will be harsh on Trump. American history shows you guys put a good spin on everything. I mean, you still have people celebrate being traitors to your country and starting a civil war. Sorry, but unless you all change something America is going down hill.

What you’re describing isn’t history. Historians do not look favorably upon the Confederacy or its ideals. No one celebrates it except the racists in our country.

Exactly, the leaders of the confederacy should have been hung as traitors but instead monuments have been built to them. Germany underwent a denazification after the war. The US regards denounciation of slavery and native genocide as 'woke'.

You’re talking about a minority of our population, somewhere around 30% to 35%. And they are just hating on the majority of our population.

Don't overestimate the denazification in Germany. It is a myth mostly. A) NAZIs are leading in polls again B) It was mostly handled like a decease (NAZIsm came over Germany...) not something that people did and were responsible for. Much like the current trend in the US "this administration"....

Yes it was more complicated than I stated. West Germany had a program whereas the GDR didn't care. Where the AFD is most popular are the areas of the former east Germany.

And Europe can't exactly be proud. Instead we've been arguing over which countries should do what for an anti-ballistic missile system. It took Fire Point developing their own missile for us to finally wake up and help out with radar and other equipment.

I don't know the parts requirements for making Patriot systems, but I do know how ONE COMPONENT / PART can slow production. It's never that easy. Congee thinks like you do ...remember being a pilot and parts were scarce? Go to these plants and look at warehouse inventories, orders delivered.

Trump wanted a quick war. Now the missiles are running low, Pete Hegseth is pointing fingers, and the White House is denying the meeting it threatens to imprison people for revealing. Welcome to strategic planning, MAGA style. essayx.substack.com/p/the-pentag...

essayx.substack.comThe Pentagon Is Out of Missiles, but Fully Stocked with ExcusesTrump discovers that wars use weapons, while Pete Hegseth discovers that blame remains America’s most plentiful defense resource

The only thing stupid here is YOU. If you think the USA “lost” the war with Iran you need to get your head examined. It is the calm before the decapitation strike.

Unless the feckless GOP senators do something, Ukraine needs the continued assistance of Europe. This current administration continues to be too enthralled with Putin. And while this is summer, it should be noted that winter is not far off. Slava Ukraini!💪💙

Adam, have you considered the Iran war's purpose was to deplete stockpiles to weaken both the US and Ukraine? I really don't think Bibi has had the interest of the US in mind the last decade or two that he's been pushing the US to attack Iran.

No one gives a shit about what “history will think.” Stop saying that. It’s completely irrelevant and used so people might feel better. It’s nonsense.

Worst administration EVER! Complete incompetence Total lack of Empathy Zero concern for Americans Worst Economic Policy Have you seen National Debt? Up over $4Trillion! Thanks, Orange DumbFuck & Nazi Elon! #DOGEfail #DeportMusk & seize assets! #FelonTrump #PedoTrump #TrumpLies #TrumpCrime

Maybe if the US promises to give Ukraine their minerals, they will share their military support. As long as we say "thank you" and wear a suit.

I completely agree. Ukraine is our ally who needs our support, but we're screwing them. The world won't forget any of that that. But you know what I hope? That Ukraine develops air defense systems that are cheaper and better than ours, and the world stops paying for US weapons 'systems.'

And, you know? I want to be enthused about that. I really do. It's pretty much what I suggested, so I should be. Except... I've been to Russia. Long ago, but I loved the people I met. And I've been to Kyiv. Different people; same result. I don't want more war. I know this is the best, but fuck.

lol WHAT War ? Congress Never Approved it and we Blow through our stock pile 🤦‍♀️ that’s why they changed the “ department of defense “ to department of war “ they are the ones making all the wars.

Have no fear, Adam! donald assures us he’s *importing as much weaponry as he can, because he “brought American manufacturing back!” Meanwhile, Ukraine is showing the 🌎 how it’s done, and donald & pete can’t even be bothered to watch and learn, much less, help a top ally.

For all intents and purposes Ukraine is embroiled in a war on behalf of Europe. Even accounting for geopolitical pressures, ultimately Ukrainians organized, protested, and voted to join the EU. To Putin, this was intolerable, and he went to war over it.

The EU should provide all support feasible to nations seeking to join an international community grounded in democracy. That’s not to say the EU is without representation issues or external influences, but there has been a stunning deficit of support for a nation that has done everything “right”

with regard to moving on from a corrupt, authoritarian past and pursuing a future as part of a more international, connected world. Now we have missiles hitting Poland and k-drones at German airports. The EU needs to align on priorities NOW before the conflict is allowed to expand.

This administration is so pathetically stupid and immoral following the whims of a man that does everything to deflect from some other disaster or immoral behaviour it fails to see or understand how important Ukraine is and how unimportant Iran will be in the future

In other times you would license production to NATO to help fill the gap. It would make the most logical sense that NATO have that type of defensive coverage anyway. But he is Putin’s puppet on NATO and Putin certainly doesn’t want NATO to have that type of protection.

Well, they don't really GAF about history, they're concerned with how much they can steal *now*. And honestly, I don't want to wait for 'history' to be harsh to a bunch of dead guys, I want Congress and the DOJ to be harsh to these assholes NOW.

And Hegseth says the low stockpiles are due to Biden giving munitions to Ukraine, but that doesn't wash. Whatever the US had on Jan 20, 2025 was their baseline. Biden couldn't "give anything away" after that. If Trump didn't have sufficient stockpiles to attack Iran, he shouldn't have done so.

I don't wish ill on Taiwan, but I do think that part of the problem with the U.S. and our politics right now is a disconnect between causes and consequences. Feeling immediate FO for FA might wake some dumbasses up.

So far Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are overproducing Nato. They produce more missiles that we produce air defences, more ships, artillery rounds, they instruct more drone pilots than we do. I think they kind of know what they are doing. We blattantly don't, it's time to fucking wake up.

Yes! It is sheer folly not to arm Ukraine to the teeth. They have shown they are a true ally to the West and democracy, over and over again. 🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine. Frankly, I hope history is harsh and vengeful on this administration

Better yet let's buy the Ukrainian drones instead of million dollar precision missiles we dropped on fishing boats just so Hegeseth got to watch a great big explosion. Buy their drones they can shop for missiles elsewhere.

Maybe putting a Fox News Host in charge and gutting the military of experienced people was not the best plan ... along with a Commander in Chief who never listens to sound advice.

Trump loves hyperbole. He loves to overinflate things including the Arsenal of weapons. Trump is completely in denial, and this is Trump that must be removed from office sooner rather than later before he destroys America forever.
