oops

 

LOL at mushmouth Sen. Kennedy.

He's not exactly a guy I'd put out there to talk to people.

 

Business as usual for the greatest military in the world. So much more competent than 20 years ago.

Sometimes I wonder if useful idiots like @Buck Turgidson know how lucky they are to be a part of this. And that's when I remind myself it's my duty to keep informing him so as to break the constraints of his ignorance.

 

You literally just say anything in your constant state of manic induced paranoia. Each and every one of these gulf states goaded the US on to initiate the attacks. No one likes the Ayatollah outside of zealots in Iran. The commitments from the gulf states are unwavering, their citizens treat American pilots like royalty and it was decades in the making. The bond has never been stronger. Cancer can only lie dormant for so long -- the time to strike was now, Your radical Islamic hatred blinds you from seeing the situation clearly.

 

"it was decades in the making"

 

(Reuters) - The Trump administration plans to meet with executives from the biggest U.S. defense contractors at the White House on Friday to discuss accelerating weapons production, as the Pentagon works to replenish supplies after strikes on Iran and several other recent military efforts, five people familiar with the plan told @MichaelStone

Companies including Lockheed Martin LMT.N and Raytheon parent RTX RTX.N, along with other key suppliers, have been invited to attend the meeting, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the discussions are private.

The meeting underscores the urgency felt in Washington to shore up weapons stocks after the Iran operation drew heavily on munitions. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and Israel began military operations in Gaza, the U.S. has drawn down billions of dollars' worth of weapons stockpiles, including artillery systems, ammunition and anti-tank missiles. The conflict in Iran has consumed longer-range missiles than those furnished to Kyiv.

At least one of the people said the gathering was expected to center on pressing weapons makers to move faster to boost output.

Lockheed, the Pentagon and White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. RTX declined to comment. In a social media post Monday, Trump said there was a "virtually unlimited supply" of U.S. munitions and that "wars can be fought "forever," and very successfully, using just these supplies."

The White House meeting comes as Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg has been leading Pentagon work in recent days on a supplemental budget request of around $50 billion that could be released as soon as Friday, one of the people said. The new money would pay for replacing the weapons used in recent conflicts including those in the Middle East. The figure is preliminary and could change.

The push to boost production has intensified following U.S. military strikes on Iran, where the U.S. deployed Tomahawk cruise missiles, F-35 stealth fighters and low-cost one-way attack drones on Saturday.

Tomahawk missile maker Raytheon has a new agreement with the Pentagon to eventually ramp production to 1,000 units annually. The Pentagon currently plans to buy 57 of the missiles in 2026 at an average cost of $1.3 million each.

The administration has been steadily ratcheting up pressure on defense contractors to prioritize production over shareholder payouts. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January to identify contractors deemed to be underperforming on contracts while distributing profits to shareholders.

The Pentagon is expected to release a list of underperforming contractors. Companies named will have 15 days to submit board-approved plans to correct the situation. If those plans are judged insufficient, the Pentagon can pursue enforcement actions, including contract terminations.

 

Liberate Syria from the guy they installed themselves? He's helping them crush what's left of Hezbollah right now. They need that guy. He loves you guys and your guys love him. Syria is already an American proxy.

Also you don't need to arm the Kurds, that was done over the past few months already through Erbil airport. That's why that airport was targeted.

The Kurds and Balochis will function as the terrorist units or quasi-ground-forces en route to future over-representation in a new Iranian government that pretends to be democratic.

The hope is that in combination with agents already on the ground, they can finish off the government without more precious Israeli and American lives having to be risked. They'll also help clean Iranian influence out of Iraq. Their primary function is always to protect the Iraqi lol fields from Iraqis.

They have been stabbing neighbors in the back for over 100 years. Seems no matter which invader shows up, you can trust that the Kurds will lift their skirt up for some money. Ottomans, Brits, Americans. The US media thinks they've been shafted 8 times but their corrupt leaders are totally happy to get the paychecks and not share it with their people. They're not complaining at all and for the US gov it's always cheaper to bribe a few guys than to slightly support the whole population.

 

This is Trump at his Trumpiest.

I doubt he'll ever pay them, either.

 

People should be informed that this whole concern about “stockpiles” is all about Patriot missiles because if the US runs out of patriots all of these much cheaper missiles that Iran has access to will start getting through and casualties will sky rocket.

Patriots are 1.5 million dollars each one. Tomahawks are our offensive missile of choice and I think they are in the same ball park.

The reason why there is a crunch for them too is because of Trump. Our access to patriots is monopolized through Lockheed Martin who makes them. When it looked like Trump was going to potentially come back in office, abandon Ukraine, and destroy NATO, all of Europe went to Lockheed and essentially booked up the entire production of patriots for years. They have been stockpiling those exact missiles because they understood how important they are to defending against air strikes from Russia or Iran.

So I assume in this meeting with Lockheed what Trump is really trying to do here is bully and threaten in order to get the ceo to abandon orders they have promised Poland, Germany, etc. and instead sell those missiles to the US and the allies in the region who are getting hit now. That is the purpose of this meeting I’m 99% sure.

So I suspect behind the scenes you are likely to have some very pissed off Europeans who have been waiting patiently only for the US to come jump the line.

 

President Donald Trump said the US will provide insurance guarantees and naval escorts to ensure safe passage for oil tankers and other vessels through the Strait of Hormuz

this will bring back the legendary commercial ads

 

Bring back?
