Trump’s Munition Meltdown Confirms His Critics! · Combat Veteran News

• 0:00
  So, the president has had a meltdown on
• 0:03
  his Truth Social, which is not really
• 0:04
  news in and of itself. But, what's
• 0:06
  interesting is that in the process of
• 0:09
  having his meltdown, denying reality, he
• 0:12
  accidentally confirmed that everything
• 0:14
  his haters say is true. Uh once again,
• 0:17
  shout out to the haters. So, let me show
• 0:20
  you guys. So, the president had in a
• 0:23
  sort of series of weird tweets, uh he
• 0:26
  said, quote, "The US has massive amounts
• 0:27
  of munitions." Now, why he put them in
• 0:30
  quotes, I'm not sure.
• 0:32
  Um especially of certain types.
• 0:35
  Uh
• 0:36
  you okay? Additionally, large amounts
• 0:39
  are being manufactured and shipped to
• 0:40
  the US as needed. So, I think what he
• 0:43
  means is that they're being manufactured
• 0:45
  and shipped to the United States
• 0:47
  government or to the United States
• 0:49
  military as needed. Again, the the
• 0:51
  president has a looser conception of
• 0:54
  grammar than you and I have. Um he says,
• 0:57
  "Defense companies are building the
• 0:58
  largest number of plants and factories
• 0:59
  in our country's history." Then, he
• 1:01
  says, "The leakers of these treasonous
• 1:03
  statements are being hunted down.
• 1:05
  Long-term jail sentences will be
• 1:07
  sought." And then, he signs it. Now,
• 1:09
  this is in reference to a number of
• 1:12
  stories that
• 1:15
  we've reported on that the
• 1:17
  Department of Defense is essentially out
• 1:20
  of key long-range munitions like ATACMS,
• 1:22
  uh virtually out of Patriot interceptors
• 1:25
  and THAAD missiles,
• 1:27
  uh and other sort of key munition
• 1:28
  categories we are running dangerously
• 1:30
  low on. And so, I want to point out that
• 1:33
  first off, this statement itself
• 1:36
  confirms that reporting. Why? Well, cuz
• 1:39
  if I was to go on this channel, I was to
• 1:41
  tell you that actually President Trump
• 1:43
  was going to use space aliens to zap the
• 1:46
  Iranians into ash, um
• 1:48
  I would not be viewed as a leaker
• 1:50
  committing treason. Why? Because I
• 1:53
  didn't report something that was true. I
• 1:56
  just sort of used my freedom of speech
• 1:58
  to to lie. That's actually kind of
• 2:01
  protected as long as I'm not like
• 2:03
  communicating it to investors or
• 2:05
  deceiving someone to harm someone else.
• 2:07
  There's a bunch of asterisks, but the
• 2:10
  point to take away is that I can't leak
• 2:13
  sensitive government information if it's
• 2:16
  not true.
• 2:17
  If I told you for example that oh, the
• 2:20
  United States military by the way guys,
• 2:22
  um we don't have any tanks. I was in I
• 2:25
  saw we have no tanks. It's a lie. All
• 2:27
  the tanks you see on like on like videos
• 2:29
  and stuff, they're just added in
• 2:30
  post-production. Again, not treasonous,
• 2:33
  not a leaker because what I leaked isn't
• 2:35
  true. So, the fact that President Trump
• 2:37
  says, "Hey,
• 2:38
  we have a lot of munitions, but those
• 2:40
  people that said we don't, right? But by
• 2:43
  the way, he doesn't actually state the
• 2:44
  number of say interceptors that we have
• 2:47
  or that we're depleted. He just says,
• 2:49
  "US has massive amounts of munitions,
• 2:52
  especially certain types."
• 2:54
  >> [snorts]
• 2:55
  >> What about the other types that it
• 2:57
  doesn't have especially massive amounts
• 2:59
  of?
• 3:00
  Is there certain types that we don't
• 3:02
  have massive amounts of? And how not
• 3:04
  massive is that? Right? I have all kinds
• 3:08
  of money, but especially certain types,
• 3:10
  single dollar bills.
• 3:12
  I don't have hundred dollar bills. But
• 3:14
  but but but the leakers who say that I'm
• 3:16
  broke, they're just lying. Right?
• 3:18
  Now, here's the thing.
• 3:20
  We can use the magic of information to
• 3:24
  actually figure out the truth here. We
• 3:26
  don't actually need these leakers,
• 3:28
  believe it or not, because
• 3:31
  if we can just simply figure it out from
• 3:34
  the actions of a military.
• 3:36
  And in this case,
• 3:38
  we could do exactly that. So, what are
• 3:39
  some things that the US military would
• 3:42
  do
• 3:43
  if it were truly out of again,
• 3:46
  long-range precision munitions and
• 3:49
  key ballistic missile and drone
• 3:51
  interceptors. What would what would it
• 3:53
  What would some things that it would do?
• 3:56
  Well,
• 3:57
  one, it would probably not be able to
• 4:00
  defend some of its key facilities. And
• 4:02
  so, you would see those facilities
• 4:04
  either get hit repeatedly,
• 4:06
  or you would see the US withdraw from
• 4:09
  them,
• 4:09
  which we are.
• 4:11
  The US is going to be pulling out of key
• 4:12
  Middle East bases. Uh
• 4:15
  this is been reported widely by the Wall
• 4:18
  Street Journal, and Trump who of again,
• 4:20
  remember, he will absolutely tell you he
• 4:22
  he absolutely is willing to lie
• 4:24
  about the status of US munitions, but he
• 4:27
  has he says no comment when asked if
• 4:31
  the US forces are going to be
• 4:32
  withdrawing from Iraqi bases. Huh, what
• 4:35
  a weird thing to not comment on given
• 4:36
  that Trump comments on literally
• 4:38
  everything down to reality TV and uh
• 4:41
  podcasts.
• 4:43
  Now,
• 4:45
  again, I think this is
• 4:47
  interesting because we've also seen
• 4:49
  significant strikes on US bases, right?
• 4:52
  Just uh 2 weeks ago, a US base in Jordan
• 4:56
  was hit by an Iranian ballistic missile
• 4:57
  that I think resulted in in four
• 4:59
  casualties. Uh but also,
• 5:02
  right? What else would the US military
• 5:05
  do if it were running out of munitions?
• 5:08
  Well, if it was critically low, it would
• 5:10
  probably order a whole lot more,
• 5:14
  which it is. And actually, it just
• 5:16
  signed a deal to boost the production of
• 5:19
  those key interceptors,
• 5:21
  right? So,
• 5:23
  again, a $3 billion deal to, by the way,
• 5:25
  not boost them a little bit. We're
• 5:27
  talking about quadrupling
• 5:29
  the amount.
• 5:31
  And yes, a think tank estimates US
• 5:34
  military has fewer than 1,000 Patriot
• 5:36
  interceptors on hand and fewer than 250
• 5:38
  THAAD interceptors, likely very true uh
• 5:41
  based on sort of the estimates that
• 5:42
  we've used here on this channel, right?
• 5:44
  When we consider we know the total
• 5:46
  production numbers, we know how many
• 5:49
  have been deployed in different
• 5:50
  conflicts and that's about the number
• 5:52
  that we settled on as well. Uh, right?
• 5:55
  Pentagon negotiators have pressed
• 5:56
  contractors to move faster with
• 5:58
  tentative production agreements struck
• 5:59
  earlier in the year.
• 6:01
  Why would the US military that has
• 6:03
  plenty of munitions desperately be
• 6:06
  rushing contractors to produce not just
• 6:08
  more, but more very fast?
• 6:11
  Right? Now, obviously
• 6:13
  Ukraine says, "Hey, we're critically low
• 6:15
  on Patriots." And Ukraine has said,
• 6:17
  "We'll basically pay almost any price
• 6:19
  for Patriots." And if there's one thing
• 6:21
  we know, it's that Trump is very, very
• 6:23
  willing to sell US military equipment.
• 6:26
  Right? That's one of the only ways
• 6:28
  Ukraine has obtained US
• 6:30
  equipment is by basically charging the
• 6:32
  Europeans to do it. Saying, "Listen, the
• 6:34
  Europeans, you can buy anything you want
• 6:36
  from us." So, the idea that President
• 6:38
  Trump
• 6:39
  even when offered a gangbusters deal on
• 6:42
  Patriot missiles is still like, "Nah, I
• 6:45
  don't really want to sell them to you."
• 6:47
  Huh.
• 6:48
  Right?
• 6:50
  Pentagon said that this new agreement
• 6:51
  will establish a second source for PAC-3
• 6:53
  solid rocket motors and ramp up output
• 6:55
  of ignition safety devices. There's also
• 6:57
  an agreement with Raytheon to produce
• 6:59
  Tomahawk cruise missiles going from 60 a
• 7:01
  year to 1,000 a year. That's totally
• 7:04
  something you do when you have too many
• 7:06
  Tomahawks already is that you ask to 50x
• 7:10
  uh, or five 5x?
• 7:13
  No, you ask to 15x your annual
• 7:16
  production. So, what is something else
• 7:18
  that you would see? You would also see,
• 7:21
  again, air well, you'd see air defense
• 7:23
  interceptors um,
• 7:25
  get prioritized. You would see them
• 7:27
  prioritized or you would just have
• 7:28
  commanders requesting more, which they
• 7:30
  did. In fact, US European Command has
• 7:33
  explicit explicitly said they informed
• 7:36
  the Pentagon that they would have so few
• 7:38
  air defense interceptors in inventory
• 7:40
  that they'll have to make a choice,
• 7:41
  defend Israel from the threat of Iranian
• 7:43
  ballistic missiles or defend Europe and
• 7:44
  the United States from the threat of
• 7:46
  Russian ballistic missiles.
• 7:47
  This is fascinating stuff because again,
• 7:51
  the
• 7:52
  uh
• 7:54
  formerly US
• 7:55
  batteries and launch about 300 advanced
• 7:57
  interceptors of various types to protect
• 7:58
  Israeli inventory compared to 190
• 8:01
  interceptors launched by Israeli forces.
• 8:04
  Uh again, 200 of the American launches
• 8:06
  were THAAD missiles at $12 million a
• 8:08
  unit. So, basically most we spent more
• 8:11
  THAAD missiles protecting Israel. By the
• 8:12
  way, we allowed Iranian ballistic
• 8:14
  missiles to strike our and kill our own
• 8:16
  troops um to avoid incurring casualties
• 8:19
  on Israel. Uh so,
• 8:22
  again,
• 8:24
  those are all the actions that you would
• 8:25
  see
• 8:27
  if indeed there was a critically low
• 8:30
  level of munitions in the
• 8:33
  uh US stockpiles, right? It's very, very
• 8:36
  simple.
• 8:38
  Now,
• 8:40
  what I think is also funny is that Trump
• 8:42
  has had another meltdown
• 8:44
  saying that it is uh
• 8:46
  false that he is mad at Pete Hegseth uh
• 8:50
  for again allowing the US to run out of
• 8:52
  munitions
• 8:53
  again pursuing objectives that President
• 8:56
  Trump told him to.
• 8:57
  This is very common with raging
• 8:59
  narcissists. They can't possibly
• 9:00
  conceive that their own decisions have
• 9:03
  led them to where they ended up. I've
• 9:05
  dealt with this on numerous occasions
• 9:07
  where they're suddenly mad. Oh, no, I
• 9:09
  did the exact thing you did the exact
• 9:10
  thing I told you to do and now it has a
• 9:12
  bad outcome. How could you fail like
• 9:14
  this? Uh
• 9:15
  again,
• 9:17
  uh
• 9:18
  he says Iran, where the country has been
• 9:20
  decimated for the purpose of not
• 9:22
  allowing it to ever have a nuclear
• 9:23
  weapon. This is of course despite its
• 9:26
  nuclear material remaining firmly intact
• 9:28
  and Iranian uh
• 9:30
  one, Iran was never really pursuing a
• 9:32
  nuclear Iran was never pursuing a
• 9:34
  nuclear weapon. Uh though it was
• 9:36
  enriching uranium in order to have a
• 9:39
  quick breakout time.
• 9:40
  Uh, Pete's highly respected in the
• 9:42
  military. Incorrect. He's made
• 9:44
  improvements including getting rid of
• 9:46
  DEI and increasing recruitment to
• 9:48
  historic levels. Um, I think the
• 9:50
  increasing recruitment to historic
• 9:51
  levels is
• 9:53
  Trump deserves credit for that by
• 9:55
  ruining the economy for the lower 50% of
• 9:57
  Americans where at this point, uh, even
• 10:00
  though I think the military is being run
• 10:02
  by
• 10:03
  absolute losers. Um, and and I
• 10:07
  don't mean this just the current
• 10:08
  administration.
• 10:10
  Um,
• 10:11
  I would still encourage young people to
• 10:12
  join the military in order to acquire
• 10:14
  skills. It's basically the only path
• 10:16
  that will get you to college. So,
• 10:19
  you know, debt free.
• 10:20
  The VA loan is what we used to buy our
• 10:22
  house. Like trust me. The the
• 10:25
  Everybody else in DC is making bank off
• 10:27
  the taxpayer.
• 10:29
  Do your four years in the military. Get
• 10:31
  your taxpayer money, too. Okay?
• 10:33
  Um,
• 10:35
  Right?
• 10:36
  It's false. I believe their fake
• 10:39
  reporting is treasonous. Well, luckily
• 10:41
  belief isn't sufficient.
• 10:45
  If you're tired of spending five bucks a
• 10:47

• 10:48
  caffeinated cough medicine, well, we
• 10:51
