Trump, Hegseth clashed at Camp David over Iran missile depletion concerns

The Washington Post reports:

By Tara Copp, Natalie Allison and Noah Robertson

Brief extract:

“President Donald Trump’s frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where he demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran, two people familiar with the exchange told The Washington Post.”

This gets even messier when you have Mr. Zelensky demanding basically half of the remaining Patriot stockpile.

He is also wanting to use missiles to shoot down the new Russian equivalent to Starlink.

The issue with that is there are 3 countries on earth with that capability. None of those are Ukraine. So he wants the US to do that for him. Which woul only result in Russia and possibly China reducing Starlink satellites to space junk.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Interesting…I was unaware of that…could indeed get complicated

I figure the extreme munitions shortages is more Trump's fault than Hegseth's. Trump is the Commander in Chief so he should be up on the supplies before he orders a strike. I also think Trump was aware on the shortage but he kept ordering strikes anyway. Cheers!

@KunsanVeteran Wonder if Hegseth will take a bullate for Trump and claim he is completely responsible. Trump has often said he is smarter than the Generals - I think this shows he is not and it shows Trump doesn't listen to them anyway. Cheers!
@Nanoose Well, Kegsbreath is no general. He is nothing but a tRUMPed up junior major.

@KunsanVeteran I know Hegseph is not a general so it seems crazy that Trump would trust him with over seeing the war. Trump should of been having daily briefings with his generals about what was going on in Iran - but I'm sure he didn't. Cheers!
