Wow!

Wow! Hegseth covered up that Iran wiped out our main resupply base in Bahrain. That's why the Lincoln couldn't get what it needed. Sailors dealing with shortages and breaking mentally after 9 months. And tRump? "Fake news." Anyone surprised?

@mcspocky I bet they (Trump Admin) are right now trying to get everyone to sign NDAs for some kind of benefit package or (Military) threatening with major military crimes if they tell their stories..

@mcspocky Exactly, 5th fleet was taken out

@mcspocky The fake news sayer is the fake.

@mcspocky The worst part is that the USS George Washington that will be relieving the Abraham Lincoln will be in exactly the same situation. Once they run through the supplies they bring with them, resupply will be nonexistent.

@mcspocky Who could have envisaged that Iran would be able to destroy a base ~250km across the Persian Gulf? They only have hypersonic missiles with 2000km range, barely capable! Next you'll expect them to have planned for the Strait being closed when that's what everyone had expected to happen for decades.

@mcspocky is this reality actually going to become widely known? Its been so obvious if you look in the right places

@Lightfighter @mcspocky Which is why there's no Navy left over for war games in Korea.

Trump figured he'd distract the public by looking like a political idiot rather than just saying, yeah, the Navy is too busy trying to feed itself and thus look like a military idiot.

@mcspocky This wasn't a secret to the families who ended up in Norfolk begging for a room and a toothbrush, nor was it a secret to Iran who probably spent less than a million to take out a fancy military base.

Weirdly, though, it didn't get a lot of attention in the US domestic press. You'd think that with so many news reporters working for Trump that the public would know all there is to know about how the war proceeds. Instead, it's like the US public is as misinformed as the Japanese or German public in world war 2. Shit, maybe that's why the US government is afraid of 'antifa'.

"An army marches on its stomach" is still true...

@mcspocky This guy wants to run for President too.

@Doppelganger75 @mcspocky Never underestimate the brute force of stupidity.
