Krasnov Burned Through 5 Years Of Tomahawk Cruise Missiles

In 3 days. Think about that. Our military is running out of precision-guided missiles. Didn't Krasnov say in his first term. if we have them, why not use them. Of course back then he was talking about using nuclear weapons.

They're already running to Congress for more money, even though Congress just gave them $1 trillion!!

Would really like to see some transparency on Congressional stock trades about now

He's going to spend over 2 trillion on defense this year.

Iran alone might cost 200 billion, but that "estimate" is likely soaring as we speak. Think of how much we are burning on our embargo of Venezuela, which has no end.

Movies make it seem like everyone has unlimited weapons. They don't we don't. Ammo is heavy, soldiers aren't carrying thousands of rounds into battle. Same with rockets and missiles, especially expensive ones. We don't have an unlimited stockpile of anything.

just laying around, and now TrumpCo can make millions more in kickbacks doling out government contracts to his cronies.

It's just a sound business decision on his part.
