Is the U.S. Running Out of Ammo?

President Trump's military campaign in Iran is still in its early days, but the press is playing the wrap-it-up music by warning that America and its allies lack air defenses for a long fight. This argument is usually cover for opposing U.S. action for other reasons, but part of the President's job is asking Congress for money to expand U.S. arsenals.

U.S. forces are intercepting Iranian missiles and drones, and some inside the Administration opposed strikes because the U.S. would burn too many interceptors needed to deter China and other bad actors. The President posted on Truth Social this week that the U.S. has "a good supply" of the "highest end" munitions, and inventories are classified.
