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?

It makes sense if you assume the goal is to destroy the USA.

Russia probably used most of theirs in Ukraine, and they want the US to be similarly strategically weakened.

Dumb bombs would kill even more innocent civilians than are already being killed.

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.

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
