Grace under fire
I was just listening to Armstrong and Getty on talk radio and they had an excellent point.
There is some man who’s name I cannot remember, he’s very high up in the weapons industry and he’s weighed in on what is going on. This man said that between what we’ve done in Iran and what we’ve given to Ukraine, it’s been revealed and fully understood that we are NOT in a good way at all as far as our weapons stock, the President is demanding they get ramped up and built fast (and this all goes into that subject).
What this man believes is going on is that this Iran deal is both a test and a stalling tactic that WE NEED to get these weapons built and restocked. The fact is according the man in the weapons business, we’re not equipped right now to finish this off in Iran and THIS right here is the reality of the situation.
This man believed that this plan was designed to see how Iran is going to behave, give them some money and lets see what they do with it. Give them the rope to hang themselves as we watch and create the needed paper trail while they ramp up production to equip us to then finish the job. By the time this all comes about, the President will be able to say “Listen, we made this wonderful deal and they’ve blown it so we’re forced to go back in there”.
We all know he’s going to need that to deal with the congress swampers.
I’m paraphrasing this conversation but the man on Armstrong and Getty said that this is the best digesting of the situation that he’s heard so far and it’s coming from someone that knows what they are talking about.
Ummmm…. No. We have munitions that are banked for this. Yes, we need to replenish; that is common sense. But to say we are in such poor condition that we need to have a 2-month cessation to rebuild, especially from some unnamed “Weapons man”, is illustrative of the media’s, and quite frankly, some on this site’s desire to say anything bad about Trump. Even when it has to come from anonymous sources… or just made up out of whole cloth… whichever is true at that point.
It was Major Mike Lyons that they were talking too- is the Major competent enough on military weapons restocking to pass your test?
POTUS is meeting with munitions makers to restock- so geez, would he be doing this if it all was bullshit?
Take note that it says PUSH, that means FAST and guess what that means, they are low. Or why would he be doing that?
You don’t order a PUSH if you have plenty.

Then it begs the question, why do it so publicly?
Do we have third party witnesses to confirm the substance of what he said to these contractors?
He certainly wouldn’t be broadcasting an actual weakness to inform our enemies of our vulnerability, so I presume that was the message Trump wanted someone to hear.
The reality could be that we’re interested in using up or selling certain stockpiles because better weapons are now ready to be deployed.
Perhaps. It could also be the case that there is a particular number that we are not willing to dip below, meaning we have remaining stocks but are not going to use anything beyond that safe margin.
We have arms contractors working at peacetime and cost-plus speed, and we need things fast and lethal.
Interesting, but as always, “Trust but verify.”
Whatever happened to the “arsenal of democracy?” The contemporary loyal opposition, say no more.
I have believed that for some time … there is a finite number of “special” weapons and they take longer to build ….
Yeah, and common sense tells me that this isn’t the sorta thing that they want to shout from the rooftops- we need to keep this somewhat under wraps for security purposes- until it all gets so urgent that we need to talk about it to get the problems solved, because that takes labor and money and that’s us.
Once the assembly lines are up and running weapons will appear like Magic just like in WW II.
Govt. can provide start up Money, that is the key to SPEED!
President Trump is playing Rope-A-Dope with Iran. He knows they are lying, ALL OF THE TIME, and will do anything to get away with business as usual. Trump, on the other hand, is waiting for Iran’s THUGS to violate any part of the Agreement so he can ‘take out the TRASH’ Running IRAN and give IRAN back to the PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the standard line from…..WEAPONS DEALERS. Buy more weapons
Let me reply with a message I heard from my second cousins gardners son-in-laws theorist whisperers grand daughter, Ya Shure, You-Betcha!
This sounds very much like a conversation I heard on Tucker with Brandan Weichert. Because I have heard this very same theme a few times now either its spot on or propaganda. I kinda believe we have a shit ton of some stuff and not so much of other stuff. Personally I think drones are what we should have a lot of. Depends on what and who you believe.
I just saw that Elon Musk posted the Citizen Vigilante film on X. The director is making it free to watch on X for the next 48 hours.
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2070157480915538098
It’s been banned in Germany, probably other European countries by now as well.
If you can afford to buy it and support the director, you should. I’m sure he’ll need it for legal fees to push back against his government.
I had to turn it off when the prostitute scene was playing. I’m not a prude but didn’t see the point of that scene and felt it ruined the movie. Perhaps if I could have finished it I would have had a better opinion.
With a mentality like this, it’s no wonder we are where we are.
The prostitute scene was pointless. I don’t know why it was in there. But it wasn’t so bad that I had to turn it off. You should watch it to the end, because the ending was the best part.
Germany has been publicly sexually explicit and debauched since the 1950s. That’s not a “puritan judgement”–it’s recognizing the regretable social consequences of two terrible endings of two terrible wars.
My guess is that where we average Americans see (in the video) a (sordid? I haven’t seen it to say) presentation of a prostitute, the film maker and European audiences would merely see a sex worker–same there as any factory worker–who is maybe not receiving her due occupational protections.
As a female, I saw no problem. If anything, it brings us into another dimension of the character as well as degradation of our society. It made the movie an easier watch as it’s difficult to be on edge for the entire 80 minutes.
You can always fast forward scenes like this.
Seems to be a worthy video effort; I don’t know anything about Armie Hammer’s politics(maybe that’s good), but isn’t he trying to make a comeback of some sort after failed projects? Clicking on the link and playing a few minutes, I didn’t see a method to contribute and the soundtrack is very poor, but I’m hard of hearing.
I watched it last night. It’s a bit gory, but the message is excellent, and the end of the movie is great. It’s set in Europe, but it applies equally to the U.S. I would suggest that Muslims watch this movie and take it to heart, because I guarantee there are a lot of people out there who are ready and willing to do what the guy in the movie does.
Thank you so much for the link. I just watched it. What a great movie !!
IMHO, quite a few people are wishing for someone like that to bring justice, especially in Western Europe.
Thank you for sharing.
Marco has the facts and he know exactly how to provide the information. His answers are succinct and on the mark.
This man will have a great future if he continues. Great work 👏 👍
I’m becoming a believer…
I was thinking, what a difference this administration makes compared with the Biden administration. I can’t think of a single member of that administration that actually addressed issues intelligently and with empathy for our allies the way Marco Rubio does every day.
At the same time I also thought of the two main problems in the world today, the War in Ukraine and the terrorist “clerics” in Iran, these have been caused completely by globalists intent on driving the permanent war model of making the countries of the world into debt slaves and forcing us all to bear the burden of massive death that war implies.
Think about what can possibly motivate people to want to make war and stoke it and keep it going? How sadistic or psychopathic do you have to be, to think only of wanting to be the uber wealthy of the world even if it means millions of people die because you want to be rich? We cannot wrap our heads around it, because we’re not psychopaths. But the globalists never get enough of the death and destruction they cause.
If Trump puts an end to their reign of blood lust, it would make him the hero of the entire world.

Summary:
Iran tightens control over Hormuz: The IRGC says ships must obtain authorization to transit the strait or face enforcement action.
Shipping disruptions emerge after increased flows: A tanker near Oman was reportedly attacked, and several vessels turned back after Iranian warnings, sending oil prices higher.
Tehran seeks billions in transit fees: Iran wants to impose Hormuz passage charges that it says could generate up to $40 billion annually.
Rubio rejects the plan: The U.S. says Gulf states offer “zero support” for Iranian tolls and warns they would undermine freedom of navigation.

The Clinton Foundation has already said that they are ready to deploy assets as soon as the donations clear.
Knows what his job is, knows exactly how to do it without being told, is extremely good at it, and stays in his lane.
We are definitely in steady hands with SoS Rubio.

Oh noes!!😩 Now anytime an incident happens in Lebanon, we can see it. Vegas odds makers are laying money that it’s Hezbollah. Israel ‘genocide’ crowd very sad and angry. Upping their Prozac.
He still continues to impress, sharp, quick, intelligent, on top of all the issues and doesn’t take crap from the media.
