They take 2 years to build, the military bought 57 last year, and we went through 850 so far in this war.

Wow. No wonder Trump is leaning towards a ground invasion.

It doesn't make sense though, they claim we have had air supremacy since like day 2. Why does the US need expensive missiles if they have air supremacy? Just drop dumb bombs wherever you want, we supposedly have like close to infinite bombs.

Does the US really have air supremacy? Were those planes that went down really from friendly fire and accidents?

Considering they are intentionally targeting civilians right now, like those 165 girls hit with a cruise missile that have FPV I am not entirely sure if that's even true.

No one just drops random bombs anymore, they're not going to hit anything. If they were they would use jdam which is just a GPS glide kit you bolt onto a dumb bomb.

Even the most heartless, unempathetic among us who don't care we're in a war must realize: among many other things, this is a shit ton of spending. These things are not cheap.

The man is (further) bankrupting a nation with poor decisions.

I'm sure Putin appreciates the USA using up it's money and missiles, leaving them vulnerable
