    It’s kinda wild that this is happening like lol what good is the fucking government if they can’t just tell people to make more missiles

    To clarify i think it’s good that the u.s. is falling apart like this, i just find the incompetence staggering. I feel like “don’t get into a shooting war if you don’t have enough bullets” is like grade school military theory

    lmao this is such incredible levels of cope “you’re actually only hitting our bases because we let you do it on purpose!” then in the first sentence it’s because they are running out of missile defense munitions. I hope Iran keeps up the pressure.

      It would be nuts for Iran to not keep up the pressure at this point. The US is used to being able to turn up and down the pressure as is convenient for them. Now they no longer control escalation, and Iran can’t allow the Americans to regroup. They have to pursue their advantage and drive the occupiers out of the region entirely now.
