The fact that Russia has helped Iran - AND helped them target US troops, and yet Trump- while Russia struggles - just de-sanctioned the purchase of Russian oil, should be a MUCH bigger story. Like - a REALLY BIG story. Like - an "our President really IS a useful idiot" story.

Yeah we’re definitely out of missiles
Trump: The U.S. has massive amounts of "munitions, especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history. The "leakers" of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought!
