The rate at which the U.S. military has used the Tomahawk missiles in the Iran war has reportedly prompted internal talks about increasing supplies

Some Pentagon officials are concerned about the “alarmingly low” supply of Tomahawk missiles remaining in the U.S. military’s arsenal after firing 850 of the weapons into Iran, according to a report.

The rate at which the U.S. military has used the Tomahawk missiles in President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, now in its fourth week, has prompted internal talks about increasing supplies, according to The Washington Post.

U.S. officials told the newspaper that the number of Tomahawks left in the Middle East was “alarmingly low.” Another official told the outlet that the U.S. supply of Tomahawks was closing in on “Winchester,” military slang that means almost out of ammunition.

Trump is preparing the us for invasion. Invasion by Russia. Exhaust the military supplies, run the world's fuel supply dry so that tanks etc are useless and no one can come help, then Russia, still flush with oil can walk in with their remaining hardware unopposed

I'm getting poe's lawed by this comment. I genuinely can't tell if this is supposed to be funny or if this is something your median .world user is ready to accept as true.

Do they live in a world where Russia could be preparing a ground invasion of the US? Fucked if I know.

Yeah, Russia can't get into their neighbor. They lost their Navy to a country with NO NAVY. How are they going to project power into the US? However much it cost to put trump into power has returned a million fold investment. they dont have to do shit but keep investing in the incompetent ppl in the US government.

How are they going to project power into the US?

By corrupting the US government and using its assets against Russia's other enemies.

Not every power play has to be millitary. Remember that Putin was KGB and understands very well how control and manipulation work.

Russia doesn't need to invade. They already own the White House and a bunch of Congresspeople. Not as many as AIPAC, but enough.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago

If not, it is also gene stealer cultist MO. Can't have defense against the coming gods.

I am sad that you are making a lot sense. I am happy that I have stocked up on ammo.

How is Russia supposed to invade the US? Russia can't even take over their neighbor and Russia lost a huge portion of their Black Sea Fleet to a country that doesn't even have a navy. If they can't even do that, how do they land troops on a continent on the other side of the world, a continent protected by the world's strongest navy and air force.

Russia doesn't even have an aircraft carrier anymore...
