YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIran spends $30 billion a year on defense last year. We spend a trillion. Iran is still standing. We just fired 25% of all our Tomahawk missiles. Takes two years to build more. Iran just destroyed a $700 million surveillance aircraft. We have 15 left. Explain to me who's winning this war.
One month into Trump's war, the Pentagon is burning through Tomahawk missiles at $3.6 million a pop. We've fired 850. That's 25% of our entire stockpile — gone. Can't rush the replacements. Takes two years to build one. That was the plan.
Iran just destroyed an AWACS — a $700 million surveillance aircraft that Boeing doesn't make anymore. We had 16. We have 15 now. Without AWACS, our missile defense flies blind. American soldiers are being injured on Saudi soil. The Pentagon is downplaying it. Of course they are.
Iran funds Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas. Runs its entire military. Does all of it for under $30 billion a year. We spend a trillion. A trillion dollars a year — and we need our AWACS monitoring imaginary enemies from a tarmac in Saudi Arabia.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs warned Trump before the first missile flew: we are stretched thin. Trump fired away anyway.
This is what a trillion dollars buys you.
