Former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO just admitted the true cost:
US radars destroyed in Iranian strikes — extremely hard to replace
Tomahawk missile inventory down below 50%
One-third of ballistic missile interceptors expended
Nearly half of high-altitude THAAD missiles gone
Replenishing these stocks will take years in many cases. The ships carrying them also need full resupply — a massive logistical nightmare.
"The $25 billion spent is substantial, but the money is less important than the actual assets expended."
Translation: Trump is burning through irreplaceable precision munitions and capabilities at a terrifying rate — instead of admitting defeat.
