The Pentagon May Not Be Telling Trump the Full Picture About the War

The Vice President appears to be using the Atlantic to accuse the Secretary of Defense of lying about the nation's stockpiles of critical weapons.

You know the war is going really well when the vice president’s team wants everyone to know he opposes it. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Very interesting. JD Vance wants everyone to know that he thinks Hegseth is an incompetent who is lying to us about the costs associated with his grotesquely bungled Iran War. This is Operation Separate Me from the Iran War. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

NEW: In closed-door meetings, J. D. Vance has repeatedly questioned the Defense Department’s depiction of the war in Iran and whether the Pentagon has understated what appears to be the drastic depletion of U.S. missile stockpiles.

They are absolutely setting up JD Vance to run as an antiwar candidate in 2028 with a Dolchstoßlegende blaming Israel for hoodwinking Trump into a war that Vance opposed all along, and anyone who believes that is incredibly gullible. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Vance is making his move already for 2028. Look for more stories like this on a regular basis as the vice president leaks strategically to convince the war-angry public that he was against the Iran war before he was for it.

JD Vance has repeatedly questioned the DoD’s depiction of the war in Iran & whether the Pentagon has understated what appears to be a drastic depletion of US missile stockpiles. And they're probably not giving 47 full briefings, either. No surprise, but still... Gift link.

Vance clearly believes he can win in 2028 by remaining loyal enough to Trump to keep the MAGA rubes on board while persuading just enough mainstream news consumers that he's not really MAGA. The mainstream press seems quite willing to help him with the latter. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The US may have gone through more than 1/2 of its prewar supply of 4 key munitions, CSIS said this week. "Even before the Iran war, stockpiles had been drained by lethargic manufacturing and munitions donations to Ukraine and Israel." www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The consequences of a dramatic drawdown in munitions reserves are potentially dire: U.S. forces would need to draw from these same stockpiles to defend Taiwan against China, South Korea against North Korea, and Europe against Russia. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Maybe Congress should put DJT in check with all of the unnecessary attacks he has declared since he’s been back in office! Unnecessary ammunition used and innocent lives lost because he’s on a power trip. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

“Hegseth’s career depends on retaining the president’s support at all costs.” “Hegseth has fewer fans among congressional Republicans than many other Cabinet secretaries, leaving him singularly reliant on Trump’s favor. Hegseth “strives to tell the president exactly what he wants to hear.”

Here’s a thought: “Other officials and individuals familiar with those involved told us Hegseth harbors his own ambitions for elected office, even possibly for president.”

a cabinet of vipers? unquestionably yes www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

www.theatlantic.com/national-sec.... GIFT ARTICLE. When staff won't bring up issues that they know will anger Trump, that is a failure of competent leadership. Trump is unfit: psychologically (malignant narcissist) intellectually (doesn't read & has no desire to self-educate), emotionally unstable.

JD Vance cares only for his own political future and wears his religious pretense as a costume. He has no real ethics. But self-interest drives him to be concerned about pollyannaish pronouncements from the Fox News host who shouldn't be in charge of the Pentagon.

I think people are underestimating Vance, who is a moron, but the court politics around him may propel him which if you don’t like Trump just wait till this guy and his technofascist oligarch friends are fully entrenched in power.

Kegseth has his own agenda, and he’s finding it harder and harder to hide it. I believe that in the next 5-7 days it’s going to hit critical mass, and Kegseth’s fears of being fired will become a reality. Right behind Patel. Less drunks in the regime. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Vance has doubts: Pentagon war reporting enters the realm of fan fiction as Hegseth trades logistics for biblical metaphors. The vice president plays skeptical accountant, pointing out unlimited weapons do not actually exist, even if Fox News-friendly briefings suggest otherwise.

8 a.m. press briefings are timed for when Trump watches Fox News. "Pete's TV experience has made him really skilled at knowing how to talk to Trump, how he thinks," one former official said. Hegseth "strives to tell the president exactly what he wants to hear." www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
