these ‘sources’ might be long serving people from the military frustrated with the new leadership.
there is still a few people from before the trump administration in the higher up military aparatus not yet fired and replaced by some cousin or something who still have contacts to established journalist like this.
I understand they might be frustrated, but why would you say that we dont have long range precision missiles to hit you with if you attacked the US right now?
Because any enemy would have a semi accurate estimate of how many missiles we would have. When you’ve blown past the amount of missiles you could possibly store in all your warehouses on a given base physics is ratting you out.
If your enemy knows, but your own public does not… I mean at some point you have to say something.
Yeah, there’s just no way this could be true, and the internet is considered another theater of war. I wouldn’t take any reports like this at face value.
“The US is so weak right now! We just totally botched this conflict! We haven’t accomplished anything and now we’re out of munitions… oh man what a mess!”
What would be the point of saying that deliberately?
Admittedly, I don’t know what the reason is, but a more plausible explanation to me would be if it’s simply not the kind of thing they can hide.
Not that I believe anything the government says anymore, but a shitty reading of Sun Tzu is “pretend to be weak when you are strong, pretend to be strong when you are weak.”
Why would anyone admit this
After a fifth of whiskey you admit everything.
I JUST got this… lol @ hegseth
You can count the number made and used reasonably accurately, it’s not a secret for large missiles. They’re inherently easier to see.

maybe to discourage the public from being pro war because it wouldn’t be a good idea
That doesn’t mean they’re defenseless. This is far from the only long range missiles they have.

Backward propaganda?

“So this justifies our need for more military spending and joining together with Israel’s military”
Just spit balling, but I could see this as a reason for the US to be leaking this info intentionally.
Alright, yeah that makes some sense. Heh, I just needed a more logical motive.
Propaganda may serve other purposes than politically ones.
The military industrial complex for example will be quite happy when people believe that the US really needs to increase their military spending.

Adnagaporp 👍
I had a propaganda at your mum lol
To drum up a call for more money.
Maybe it’s a ruse and counter intelligence.
