Trump claims US can wage war ‘forever’

The Pentagon has “virtually unlimited” ammo stockpiles, the president has asserted.

The US is prepared to fight a war “forever” with its “virtually unlimited” ammunition stockpiles, President Donald Trump has claimed.

Military observers have identified munitions availability – particularly air defense missiles – as a limiting factor in the ongoing US-Israeli campaign aimed at toppling the Iranian government.

In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump dismissed such concerns. “Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!),” he wrote. The president suggested weapons stored in other nations could be reallocated for Pentagon use.

The US-Israeli attack began on Saturday with a decapitation strike that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials, accompanied by calls for an Iranian uprising. Trump said the campaign is exceeding expectations and predicted it would last no longer than several weeks. Iranian officials say they have been preparing for a long war by stockpiling long-range weapons in underground depots.

The ‘magazine depth’ of US and Israeli munitions is classified, but military experts believe both are rapidly expending high-end weapons such as interceptors for THAAD, Patriot, and Arrow-3 air defense systems, and sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

”Eventually it boils down to numbers,” Jonathan Conricus, a former Israel Defense Forces spokesman, told the newspaper. “How many interceptors will we have versus how much launchers will they be able to field and fire.”

Trump claimed US stockpiles are robust because he suspended supplies to Ukraine. American weapons continue to reach Ukraine, but under Trump’s policy, European NATO members now pay for them.



Retaliatory Iranian missile and drone strikes have targeted US and NATO military bases in the Middle East and Mediterranean, as well as energy infrastructure and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz – a critical maritime choke point. Exports of Saudi crude and Qatari liquefied natural gas have been disrupted, causing a surge in global prices.

  1. Wage war forever,???
    Trump only has 8 weeks of ammo left…the iranians have 2 years worth, all of it deep underground and untouchable.
    Russia has 4 years worth of ammo, scattered in the Urals that is also underground!
    Israel expands it’s war crimes and genocide in the region.

    • Here we go, straight to the hitler comparison, shame people don’t know the real story of WW2, rather than the Jewish bullshit “his story. Let’s hope Vladimir can do what Adolf couldn’t.

  2. Only reason this is being said, is because the opposite is true. Cheap Iranian drones are being used to expend the expensive stockpile of US and Israeli missiles. The Iranians have started by using their low end weapons for this reason. Meanwhile they employ a limited number of high end weapons to take out strategic defensive assets, like radars. In one case a billion dollar radar of which there are only six in existence.

    The US and its accomplices will run out of steam and then they will see what Iran has in store for them!

  3. The Russians are doing the same thing in the Ukraine- old, low-end weapons first, then comes the Oreshniks, the Sunburns, etc.

  4. Even if “they” had dialed their sights four inches to the right, nothing would’ve changed, the jackass yanks woulda just voted-in another sack-of-sh*t warpig anyway…

  5. Except for death, nothing is forever.

    Greed is the intence selfish desire for somthing. Especially wealth power and resources. Resources to deside who may have the ability to provide for themselves, or those you care about. Who can go without.

    If someone desires people must be killed to take their possessions, land, resources that is nor a war of liberty. It is a war to enslave.

    I have lived most of my life. Yes there were times when I was selfishly, greedy. That was before I found providing for others has its rewards.

    A world government simply means complete control over all people.
