I guess 25% of the Patriots left isn’t low enough for Trump.
But I suspect it’s low enough for China, Iran, and many other countries.
I’m against this. We’re supposed to be for America First, not draining military supplies for other countries(the ol’ Democrat trick).
Trump is agreeing to allow Germany to transfer German Patriot systems to Ukraine and then for the US to sell replacement Patriot systems to Germany at the foreign buyers purchase price which just happens to be quite a bit over twice the price the US military pays for the system
Some of this premium price goes to RTX and some goes to the US government to recover some of the US costs of Patriot system development.
That 25% figure is from an unnamed source.
When asked about the Patriot missile stockpile, Lt. Col. Bryon McGarry said “We’re not going to discuss specific stockpile numbers or operational details, but our forces remain fully equipped, fully ready, and globally postured to respond to any challenge. Ongoing assessments of our capabilities are routine and reflect responsible planning, not shortfall. Readiness isn’t in question—it’s ensured.”
Chief Pentagon Spokesman said "the U.S. military has what it needs to fight and win any mission, anywhere, anytime,”
I've notice a flood of information from unnamed source over the past week saying that Trump is bad.
And enough people here buy into it.
