The U.S. Army has used up much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran, according to three people familiar with the data, raising concerns about the military’s readiness for future conflicts.
The missiles are principally the Army’s surface-to-surface weapons, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). The U.S. has used “virtually all” of these weapons, according to two of the sources.
The degree to which the military is running out of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles has not been previously reported.
The long-range munitions are an important part the military’s arsenal, allowing accurate strikes from a safe distance. U.S.-supplied ATACMS have played a key role in the war in Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to attack targets inside Russia. The PrSM is a newer, more advanced generation that will replace the ATACMS, which have a shorter range.
Trump probably won’t live long enough for a non-consecutive Trump 3.0, let alone have the mental capacity to even pretend he can do it. It’ll be MAGA (or neo-MAGA), but not Trump. To be clear, this is the worst case scenario because American democracy wouldn’t survive an afternoon in the hands of someone smart in Trump’s position.
I keep telling myself the following:
Henry Kissinger and Strom Thurmond lived to 100. Karma and/or God do not exist
