“… But only a few hundred are manufactured each year, meaning the global supply is limited. The Pentagon does not publicly disclose how many missiles are in its inventory at any one time.

… The most recent versions of the missile can cost as much as $3.6 million a piece and require up to two years to build, according to Navy documents. In recent years, they have been purchased in small batches, with just 57 included in last year’s defense budget.…”

It’s insane that it could take two years to build one cruise missile.
 

tl;dnr —> “When deployments follow rhetoric, escalation becomes possible. When they do not, rhetoric fades.”
Rhetoric about Venezuela was accompanied by deployments; rhetoric about Greenland was not.

Rhetoric about Iran is accompanied by massive deployments and realignment of U.S. military:

“…Since February, the United States has surged more than 150 aircraft, two carrier strike groups, over a dozen warships, and tens of thousands of personnel into the region. Airbases have expanded. Missile defense systems have been reinforced. Command integration under United States Central Command has tightened. Now, airborne infantry—forces designed for rapid insertion and early-stage ground operations—are being added to that structure.

This is not a signaling exercise. It is a structural shift in military posture.

Air campaigns can escalate quickly. Sustained presence cannot. It requires fuel, maintenance, logistics, and time. It creates commitment even before a formal decision is made. Each additional deployment narrows the gap between capability and action.…”
 
So...I guess it's not about regime change...any more. GD clown show




We should force regime change in Israel.
