Trump: US has ‘unlimited’ munitions to fight wars ‘forever’
The Hill ^ | 03/03/26 8:03 AM ET | Tara Suter

Posted on 03/03/2026 1:19:21 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

President Trump said late Monday the U.S. has “virtually unlimited” munitions to fight wars “forever,” just days after the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes in Iran.

“The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better — As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!),” he continued. “At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries.”

The military effort in Iran, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, began early Saturday after weeks of threats from the president — who called for regime change in Tehran and an end to the Middle Eastern nation’s nuclear program. Iran launched a counterattack, targeting Israel and other nations in the Gulf.

Earlier Monday, Trump said the military operation in Iran could last for at least “four to five weeks.”

“We have the strongest and most powerful, by far, military in the world, and we will easily prevail,” the president said at the White House during a Medal of Honor ceremony. “We’re already substantially ahead of our time projections, but whatever the time is, it’s okay. Whatever it takes.” 

“From the beginning, we projected four to five weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that,” he added.

While the Saturday strikes on Iran killed the nation’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, it also led to the deaths of several U.S. service members.

yes - once you see it you can’t unsee it

everyone with any perceived influence gets a communist propaganda script to read on camera for money and access to revenue streams. at the top, there is access to revenue streams from the plunder of our treasury (e.g. minneapolis)

aging performers get to keep their tour schedules
actors are given access to steaming service revenues
seniors on fixed incomes are handed signs and walk for pay
teachers unions get protection and money to indoctrinate and mutilate

polititians/judges get 10s of millions for pulling the lever for the color revolution

while useful idiots pick up flashbangs literal and virtual for a revolution they don’t understand

this is where we are

the communist revolutionaries lie about everything all the time and don’t care about us, they lie right past us to target/abuse/ensnare their useful idiot corp

You do what you need to do as long as necessary.

Thanks for confirming my point that we are back to never-ending "regime change" wars to nowhere.

This is exactly what Trump promised to end.

I’ll go with the 4-5 week timeframe that Trump mentioned. But apparently, you are against Trump and what he has done. Why so?

This is what United States petrol fiat “currency” can do for the world extinguishing Islamic threats:

4-Pres

Replacing the Taliban with the Taliban under 4 Presidents including the current one who does not seem to grasp the concept that fiat lacks an exhaust especially under a lot of domestic demands and mounting interest.

Basically going to war against a spiritual sect that makes the Taliban look like pikers and have 1953 still in their cranium (Along with that Ishmael stuff). Good fortune and interesting times ahead. This China geopolitical "strategy" is no match of this spiritual stuff that just got unleashed.

Now this psyops against Christianity is just making things worse for the longer haul.

So it is required that I agree with EVERYTHING Trump does or I am a quisling?

Why so?

We need to be able to defeat an alien battle cruiser or the Corellian death ray.

No, I require nothhing of you, because quite honestly I expect very little from you in reality. You get some things correct, but mostly you are wrong. You are not a quisling, but you are also not nearly as smart as you believe yourself to be. Because you do allow others to sway your beliefs, instead of coming to your own conclusions by virtue of critical thinking.

It's way past time that the Iran brutal regime was dealt what they have had coming to them for more than 4 decades. Sadly, you do not see the importance of what Trump is doing, mainly because he is the first lreader this nation has had in so many decades. His leadrship, trumps that of Reagan, whom I loved dearly, and was the first politician I was inspired to get involved in politics.

I ttoo do nt like to have to go to war, but I trust Trump, because he loves the military, and because of that fact, he will use them sparingly, and even more importantly, will uyse them effectively in order to keep them from the dangers associated with kintetec warfare..

Besides that, I see Trump as being directed by the Lord himself. He's special. But you fail to see those traits as well. Nop one elected you yto lead this nation, so [please refrain from thinking that you would do a better job, because you wouldn't. But I also am in that same category as well, so that is not a slilight upon you personally.

We are three days into this operation, and the operation thus far has been spectacular. Quit listening to the nNattering nabobs of negativism that our government is overrun with.

Sitting on the sidelines was not preferable, but neither political party impressed me, even though I have always supported the Republican Party, whom I called the stupid party, because they allowed the Democrats to lead them around like their masters. They were worthless controlled opposition, and as such were equally to blame for the decline of this great nation. In addition, they used their positions to rip this nation off finacially along with their Democrat co-conspirators.

Was it also wrong to disagree with “two weeks to flatten the curve” when Trump initiated the COVID lockdown in 2020?

Oh, you are just so perfect aren't you. So, erring on the side of caution, even though in your hert you do not believe in what you are doing, is just such a disgrace isn't it.. Of course, you don't take they real criminals to taskj do you, such as the medical profession that lied throught their teeth, along with the press, that blew the whole Covid-19 scam way ouut of proportion.

Ye s indeed, you are a piece of work, problem is the only one you really impress is yourself.

There were many on this board who were convinced that Covid-19 was far worse than it actually was, and two of them were doctors who told me that I was fiull of it.

Like you they were wrong\. Of course, I doubt that you have ever bneen in a position of having enormous responsibility. Trump has taken onl a lot of burde, and people like you can only cfriticize because you have never really dealt with many problems at the same time, and he not only does it, he does it very well.

He's a human being ,and as human beings none of use are perfect. But at 78, he is impressive, even though he is nothing more than an imperfect human being.

You couldn't handle the pressure that PresidentDonald John trump deals with on a daily basis, and again I don't think I could either. But unlike uyyou, I not only appreciate what he is trying to do, I support him without question. He deserves at least that from every American that he is trying to help..

What are you doing besides being nothing but a MOnday morning QB, that never actually plated a down in your life monst likely.

Oh Well

You sure do like to hear yourself talk.

One question: Did President Trump make a mistake when he locked down the country for the COVID hoax?

You sure do like to hear yourself talk.

That's the pot calling the kettle black. 🤣

I believe I already naswered that questtion when I stated that he erred on the side of caution. Let me expand the answer for you. Yes, no one knows everything. First off Trump has no medical training that I am aware of. Therefore, he wopuld have had to rely upon others who supposedly were experts in the medical profession. Do you believe that Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx were experts, and more imporatatly that they were telling Trump the truth?

Perhaps, you weren't aware that everyoe in the profession, were lying themselves, were not knowlegeable about infectious diseases, or they were afraid to speak out, because those who spoke out were being targeted professionally. By that I mean their livelihoods were actually being threatened to be taken from them, and many did sufffer that result.

Even though I personally am not a doctor, I wwas the son of a doctor, and from being that I knew that part of being a docotr is questioning the diagnosis made by other doctors, because sometimes doctors make the wrong disgnosis. So, from that aspect, I knew something was amiss when doctors were being trgeted for disagreeeing with things that were being said that contradicted the apparent narrative that was the only narrative that would be allowed.

But, that still doesn't mean that my concerns were proof. Instead, it was just against the norm that had been accepted for decades.

Now, if you had to make a decision about a topic that you knew nothing about, would you be comfprtable going against the what the so-called experts were telling you. If the experts are telling you the truth, then potatentially millions could die from ythe decision you make, or would you trust that the experts were telling you the truth, and would you have followed their advice.

One thing you do not give Trump credit for is that he eventually decided that the "cure" was doing more damage then the virus was doing.

I was against his call, but than my decision had no merit whatsoever, and thus the call was easy for me to make. But it was a decision I made for myself, my wife got the vaccine.

If I didn't say it before then I will remind you that many people on this site were claiming that the virus was real, serious, and most importantly, deadly. When I looked at the Cruise Ships, which typically have a lot of people who are older, the death rate did not seem very high. Sure some were dying, but the percentage wasn't as high as one woould think, since they were supposedly in the high -risk category. Either very healthy old people take ruises, or the virus wasn't as deadly as it touted as being. I also thought that the "vaccine" was rather useless, and that they too seemed to cause more death or adverse side-affets than those who refused to take the "vaccine".

Bottom line though, is that Trump is very intelligent, and he also has compassion for people, and he was in a position where he had to make a decision. Does he risk the lives of millions, or does he err on the side of caution?

Being a President is not an easy job, it's demanding and requires tough decisions, and like all prodessions that have that degere or pressure, not all decisions are going to be the correct decision.

But I hold back being ultra critical of evything a president gets wrong. Only when they keep repeating the same mistake do I get critical.

Who would have thought that Iran would actually make enemies with the other Middle Eastern nations, that now some are willing to join Isreal's side in this fight. But that is becoming the reality.

I hope that Irainian people can rise to the occasion to defeat their oppressors, and if we can assist them it will provide so much stability back into this world. It has to be done, even If I prefer that there would be another way that does not require our involvement.

I am still against joining in with Ukraine, because that conflict was easy to resolve, just remain neutral and do not become a NATO nation. Iran has been at war with us for 47 years, and China has been at war with us since the early 50s.

Both of those do nreed American assistance, and the rest of the world had better hop on board as well. Because the implications of both of those nations are far more imminent complex issues with real consequences for the world. Not just a single nation.
