>So let's look at what we know objectively has taken place. Iran has destroyed five radars. There are two types once called an AN TPY and the others an AN FPS. One of them costs 500 million dollars and there are two. The other two each cost a billion dollars. [500x2 +1000x3 = 4 billion]
>Wow.
>Yeah, these are big-time radars. They were located at our military base at Al Udeid at the naval base and Bahrain. All of which have been bombed attacked. The Bahrain of the facility is essentially destroyed and those radars were critical for our whole air defense system because they would provide the immediate warning that up, there's been a missile launch. It's going on this trajectory. This is where you need to be prepared to engage it and we were it was tied into what was called a terrain high altitude area defense weapon. THAAD.
Well, we have like a total of ten THAAD batteries in the world. Iran has destroyed three of those. 30% of our total number of THAADs in the world as Iran's destroyed three of those in this last week. They've destroyed about four billion dollars worth of radars in a week and they are now, they've been regularly hitting Israel despite our claims that we've, you know, we've blown up their launchers.
One one of the lies coming out of the Pentagon is oh They're there. No, but their launches have gone down. There are 80% fewer today than last week. That and that's because we destroyed that many. Okay, maybe, but actually we saw that pattern during the 12-day war in June where Iran initially flooded the zone with missiles and drones sucking up our air defense missiles, depleting our supply and then once they had you know, sort of lowered suppressed our air defense system, then they could launch freer missiles. I Argue that's what's going on now.
We're seeing the exact same thing except the big difference is During the 12-day war we had all those radars up active and were able to warn the Israelis. "Hey got inbound get your seat", you know, we had an integrated air defense then we don't now. I mean, we're essentially blind that they'll get up where they can get a warning. Usually it's more like a minute before they'd get a 15 to 30 minute warning. Now It's down to about a minute so the United States, if you look at the map of where the strikes have been, they are firing from Saudi Arabian territory Jadams and JASM missiles that have they're able to fly some like five another 500 miles. So we're not really sending our aircraft in to engage the overland in Iran and Iran is now they've been pretty effective.
It's shooting down predator drones and Hermes drones are the Israeli version. So The war is not quite going as swimmingly as we thought and the real, the real leverage that Iran now has is they've closed the Strait of Hormuz and that means 20 with 20 1/5 of the world's oil supply isn't going out there anymore. As well as 30% 35% of the world's liquid natural gas which was produced in Qatar that's not going out. And these two countries in particular Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. They're being decimated economically right now. So this is, you know all the happy talk out of the White House. Great but Iran's not going away and we don't have the ability to defeat them. I mean that we can drop bombs all day long.
[...]
When you look at the fact, you know, we do a lot of projection. We accuse Russia and China being imperialist powers trying to go out and dominate the world. But between Russia China and Iran are those three countries combined I think have five military bases outside of their own territory. Five. We've got over 700. Sometimes people use the number 800. What's going on with that, that is that is the evidence of an imperial power. Right? So we Continue to think that we can solve these problems with force instead of diplomacy .
[...]
We have systems that are designed to basically defeat subsonic rockets and missiles Iran has developed hypersonic missiles and when we talk about hypersonic, we are talking about something that travels in excess of mach 6 and can be maneuvered. So, and we've seen the visual evidence of that coming out of Israel.
I'll be added, you know scant but so we're firing. We're firing Patriot missiles and understand that since the Patriot missile came into production in 2015, since from 2015 through 2025 December 31st, we produced a total of 4620 Patriot. These missiles are called PAC-3. When a Patriot missile engages a target that's inbound it has to fire at least two sometimes three or four. So just just do the math that in the Ukraine Russia war Russia has fired 12,000 ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. So if they'd, if our Patriot systems had been completely active and dedicated to Ukraine we will have completely exhausted our supply. And right now what they have, what we have in in the Middle East, I think the inventory could be as low as 500 if not lower. There there is Indo-Pecom has between 1200 and 1800 Cruise missiles in its inventory. That's the Pacific command based out of Honolulu. That is supposed to engage China. So what this highlights is part of the problem with the US air defense system is our systems just don't work and it's demonstrable. They're not routinely shooting down Russian missiles and cruise missiles. No, it hasn't been the case despite again We've been fed that propaganda, but real world the numbers don't add up.
[...]
During that war (WW2) we were building aircraft carriers in six months. Now we do it in six years. So a big difference but one of the other elements here are the rare earth minerals that are supplied by China. Or I should say no longer supplied by China. China's put an embargo on.
[...]
So we've got a place where we've we were relying on military weapons that are increasingly sophisticated, very expensive, and not terrible, not effective on the battlefield. Example the PAC-3 missile in the Patriot costs between I've seen everything from four million a piece to six million a piece. The THAAD that terrain high altitude area development area the defense weapon Air defense it goes for 13 million dollars and they're shooting down drones that cost $50,000. So think about you use two Patriot missiles at six million a piece That's 12 million dollars to take down a fifty thousand dollar drone.
And that's just the first few minutes!
