A $250K missile forcing a $40M response isn’t just a budget problem. It’s a geopolitical shift the US–Israeli policy establishment still pretends isn’t happening.
This is probably the most important article. I’ve read on this. In the end, it boils down to the balance sheet.
It’s amazing after all the talk and money poured into the Pentagon and all the weapons development that by day two we are already hearing rumors from the Pentagon that we can’t afford a sustained war. You know Iran is also getting all this information if they need us dry it’s going in Old in the world against us and I can’t say they’re wrong after all the horrifying things we’ve done.
The goal is under the guise of American security the taxpayers will go broke. Once broke people get funny and will do just about anything to get back on their feet. Including go along with the Trump agenda. They don’t know that the only part they play is to work, pay taxes, let the wealthy steal their money, and keep their mouths shut.
This strategy was also proven to be tactically effective by Marine LtGen Paul Van Riper during Millennium Challenge 2002. As commander off the Red Forces (modeled on Iran) he used low tech, cheap, analog tactics and weapons to destroy the Blue fleet in minutes.
Did our military planners learn NOTHING from the Ukraine War?
The military is addicted to very technical/expensive - they mainline it. We should have cheap, abundant and easy to make weapons. Rein in the weapon producer cartel.
An uncomfortable conclusion is that in an extended war, support will switch from Ukraine to Israel (if it hasn't already). So Russia will continue to support Iran, knowing that U.S. will exhaust its firepower in defense of Israel and Ukraine will become more vulnerable (if the EU doesn't step up.)
"The assumption that budgets are infinite." Yet the assumption is largely correct. The US has an infinite number of dollars to spend. Dollars are after all created out of thin air. No upper limit to them. Not that there aren't practical limitations to spending an infinite amount of money--they're are: Inflation.
This whole thing is gonna change all that very fast. The petrodollar gives us the world’s reserve currency status by us being here fucking up their shit, I would say by the end of the year there’s going to be barrels of oil sold in other currencies. Once that happens, American dollars are gonna start coming back home when we lost the reserve currency status and then hyper inflation will take over from there for three years from a currency collapse because of this stupid bullshit.
It costs $2.5M per day to operate the SS Abraham at idle
Practically $1B per year
This is clever. I like it. Hit ‘em in the pocket book

No audits ever....and constant cost overruns for questionable effeiciency...its OPM(other peoples money...taxpayers) so spend away
This reminds me of something
US astronauts met their Soviet counterparts on the international space station.
They told the Soviets that they had spent years trying to make a pen work in space, and asked how they overcame the problem.
The Soviet response - we use pencils
✌️❤️
doesn't cost israel a dime we subsidize the pos country
The Rothschild bankers an Rockefeller oil drillers are rubbing their zionist hands. Grinning for every missle that is launched.
No matter who it kills.
They will not get hurt, they live safe in Gated city blocks in big ass villas.
It costs $2.5M per day just to operate the SS Abraham

This is great analysis, yet yuuuuge justification for the US to start attacking and destroying as much Iranian military “while still on the ground”.
If attacking has a 40:1 ratio over defense, the US needs to attack more. And sooner.
And wait until they unleash the hypersonic missiles Mach 16 baby
