Maybe those type of missiles are depleted, but the US isn't short of ways to fuck you up.
Either way, they'll replenish.
Yes, I've gathered
a little information about it. For example the JDAM supply is almost "unlimited." But each type of weapon has its uses and the US has "needed" to use the Tomahawk against Iran, for example due to range and precision and whatever. The experts say that it's not as easy as ordering an increase in production, you need more infrastructure for example so it takes quite a bit of time to set up. Some have said some of the weapons may take 8 years to replace. I think the rare earth minerals might be somewhat of a problem too if China limits exports, which it does currently and which is a headache for Trump. Trump's tariff war against China certainly didn't help. And his open warmongering against it doesn't either. He was just in China sucking up to Xi (see the over the top praise he gave XI) but left without much.
Just a couple of points by AI
Rare earth minerals are foundational to modern precision missile production. Essential elements like neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium are used to create the high-performance permanent magnets and sensors in missile guidance systems, fin actuators, and radar. These materials enable weapons to withstand extreme temperatures and maintain sub-meter accuracy.The production and supply chain for these minerals dictate global defense capabilities. Key vulnerabilities and strategies include:
Chinese Dominance: China currently accounts for the vast majority of rare earth mining and refining capacity, and processes roughly 90% of global high-performance magnets.Export
Restrictions: Beijing heavily regulates the export of rare earth metals and associated processing technologies, directly impacting the global defense industry and creating major vulnerabilities for NATO supply chains.
As you know the Patriot system PAC3 missile is something that is also in short supply and currently Zelensky is demanding all countries give up their stocks to him and waits a few years for the US to stock up on.
Whoa there Nelly. I'm merely pointing out how you pick and choose to believe only the negative things the MSM writes about the US because of your blind hatred of Trump, you liberal twat.
Everyone picks and chooses, everyone has biases as I point out all the time, I certainly do. I don't know what I'd call you, you're hardly a conservative in my book. An "American Yahoo" maybe. For many Americans a conservative seems to be someone who simply sucks Jew cock and loves foreign interventionism. Trump is hardly a conservative in many peoples' opinion, for example he supports abortion and homos and he isn't racialist. You know actual liberals would call me a right wing extremist but I'm not married to labels or demand to be called "conservative." I have repeatedly said on here, for example in 2016, and even in 2020, that if I was American I would have voted for Trump, certainly never for Biden or Kamala. What liberal, by your metrics, would have done that? Trump's election platforms, the promises, have been good, but he's chosen to, or felt pressured under duress to, become the same old deep state.
Wish we had leaders like this nowadays, an extract from a speech by guess who (a liberal?):
The German nation does not wish its interests to be determined and controlled by any foreign nation. France to the French, England to the English, America to the Americans, and Germany to the Germans. We are resolved to prevent the settlement in our country of a strange people which was capable of snatching for itself all the leading positions in the land, and to oust it. For it is our will to educate our own nation for these leading positions. We have hundreds of thousands of very intelligent children of peasants and of the working classes. We shall have them educated - in fact we have already begun and we wish that one day they, and not the representatives of an alien race, may hold the leading positions in the State together with our educated classes. Above all, German culture, as its name alone shows, is German and not Jewish, and therefore its management and care will be entrusted to members of our own nation. If the rest of the world cries out with a hypocritical mien against this barbaric expulsion from Germany of such an irreplaceable and culturally eminently valuable element, we can only be astonished at the conclusions they draw from this situation. For how thankful they must be that we are releasing these precious apostles of culture, and placing them at the disposal of the rest of the world. In accordance with their own declarations they cannot find a single reason to excuse themselves for refusing to receive this most valuable race in their own countries. Nor can I see a reason why the members of this race should be imposed upon the German nation, while in the States, which are so enthusiastic about these "splendid people," their settlement should suddenly be refused with every imaginable excuse. I think that the sooner this problem is solved the better; for Europe cannot settle down until the Jewish question is cleared up. It may very well be possible that sooner or later an agreement on this problem may be reached in Europe, even between those nations which otherwise do not so easily come together.
The world has sufficient space for settlements, but we must once and for all get rid of the opinion that the Jewish race was only created by God for the purpose of being in a certain percentage a parasite living on the body and the productive work of other nations.The Jewish race will have to adapt itself to sound constructive activity as other nations do, or sooner or later it will succumb to a crisis of an inconceivable magnitude.
What the fella above says has been a problem for Trump as well, as this Iran war has been a prime example of. You can certainly be right wing and be plenty critical of Trump. At the same time the Democrat leadership has the exact same issues, hence "uniparty." Only 1,2 or 3 congressmen oppose this above mentioned parasitism, and Massie was bad mouthed as a complete loser by Trump and had to be driven out by Israel (foreign influence anyone?). We have the same problem here in Sweden. We have a right wing populist party which all the rest of the parties has tried to block from influence like with the AfD in Germany, but which was just in Israel sucking up to The Chosen.
