The United States top military admirals and generals and other military leade...

against Donald Trump, turning against Donald Trump and leaking to the press just how

dire of a condition the United States militaries in, how the United States isn't simply

in a position where it stockpiles of thads and patriot interceptors are being depleted, but virtually all of our thads and patriot interceptors and Navy destroyer and ballistic missile capabilities have been depleted and destroyed by Donald Trump. We really began to see an escalation of the leaks from top generals and admirals beginning right around July 20.

You started to see headlines like this, even in Trump friendly rags like the New York

post, U.S. doesn't have enough missiles to protect troops in the Middle East for long-term

war with Iran, say experts in that article site's numerous top military officials who spoke with the Wall Street Journal with the post and others, then July 21st, the Washington Post reports, we do not have enough air defense and long-range munitions due to low supply and battle damage to safely sustain operations, and I don't think the White House is

aware of that citing top military officials, so what the Washington Post reported then?

Then we got this steady stream escalating in the past 72 hours, down the mouth, a national security reporter, a defense department reporter at the Washington Post reported the following about general Alexis Grinkowitch over the weekend and over the past 24 or 48 hours as well. And Grinkowitch, codename the Grinch, he's the top allied commander from the United States

in Europe. He's a serious dude, probably the best respected general left in the United States after her exits purge of a lot of our top military officials and Grinkowitch, the top general NATO allied commander in Europe, said the following, he leaked out a written notification rather to senior Pentagon officials saying that without another operational Navy destroyer

in Europe, he will be forced to choose defense of the United States homeland over that of Israel, knowing the wedge issue, of course, that Donald Trump got into this catastrophic and unlawful war to join Netanyahu and making it very clear that the decision in the American people would know this, that Donald Trump was protecting Israel over the United States.

I think we all know that already, however, when you have General Grinkowitch putting that

in writing, that is a big deal, Grinkowitch, also going to top general, warning the Pentagon that he lacks efficient forces to protect the United States, and that it would essentially mean protecting Israel and then leaving the United States, Asia, all the other Arab nations very, very vulnerable. We heard from Reuters, we heard from CNN, we heard from Politico, it was a tsunami of leaks

taking place in the past 48 hours. You had the CNN story, the U.S. has depleted nearly 80% of its dad interceptors and half of its Patriot missiles and a significant number of other precision munitions during the Iran conflict, virtually all Patriot interceptors and thads are depleted. We are in a dangerously low crisis situation, senior military commanders have warned.

They said these stockpiles have never been this low ever.

These shortages, along with concerns over Iranian retaliation and civilian casualties, pushed our generals and admirals to essentially give Donald Trump the riot act, which is you are about to cause a situation where you will have to be forced to publicly surrender in a way that will just utterly humiliate the United States and everybody, and they proposed a way to Donald Trump to try to save face, and it's interesting to see that kind of being implemented

now. So you know the way Iran has developed this psychological profile and Donald Trump. We've been covering it here on the Midas Touch Network, and I mean, they didn't need a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and other individuals who are experts in the field of mental health to diagnose Donald Trump as psychologically ill.

They view Donald Trump as severely mentally ill as a malignant narcissist, an...

studied how do you deal with him?

And so one of the things that we've learned, and we've heard this through warnings from top generals and admirals as well, and we've also seen it and observed it, is that Iran has recognized that you actually need to escalate with Trump to de-escalate.

You need to up the ante and show him that you are not going to stop showing any weakness

at all, Donald Trump perceives as an invitation for him to strike harder. That's why over the past 48 hours, 72 hours, despite our corporate news covering it up, what have we been covering here on the Midas Touch Network. Three tankers have been destroyed in the straight of her moves by Iran, while Donald Trump was out there threatening de-capitation, Iran struck a U.S. base in Kuwait again.

The hoothies have been striking hard in Dubai and other areas. The Iranians destroyed another MQ-9 Reaper, so that's one of the things that Iran realized now. Our generals and admirals came up with this plan, a face saving exercise for Donald Trump by making Donald Trump feel he did a deal because he is a little three-year-old,

brat, no offense to three-year-old, brats. So our generals and admirals had this idea, Eureka, what is Donald Trump really good at fraud? I mean, I'm not sure he's a horrible human being, but he's a fraud and a con artist, and the other thing is stealing other people's things, stealing their music, stealing their ideas,

stealing their IP, stealing their accomplishments, stealing their vallar.

That's what Donald Trump did, so our admirals and generals had a plan.

Iran and Oman are doing the hard work. They're negotiating a deal for Iran to control the straight of her moves. Eureka, let's just tell Donald, you don't have to do anything. Look, Whitkov, Kushner, this is very, very difficult for you. We know all you're trying to do is your quid pro quo deals.

Why don't we have Besson go, this is what our generals and admirals did. This was the plot. They executed it. It's like the end of usual suspects where Kaiser Sosay starts to walk or the end of six cents, where you realize when he sees dead people who the end how the outends, right?

So this was the plan. Make Donald Trump the three-year-old brat, feel like he did a deal, manipulate the market Donald. All good.

Here's what we're going to do.

We're going to have Iran do the deal with Oman, Iran will control the straight of her moves. And then Donald, you just take credit for it and say that you did it. Okay, Donald, we'll get to the participation trophy. Have you ever thought I should really be doing something to protect myself from stalker,

So that was the plan that was actually implemented and so here's what we're learning about

that here's the Hormuz deal that is now being discussed. Iran controls the entry into the straight of Hormuz and Oman controls the exit. Iran has the ability to intervene in the waterway whenever it wants, because it has sovereign control over the whole straight of Hormuz. There will be a potential service fee and a revenue split between Iran and Oman that

may have to be characterized as voluntary, how they are going to be phrasing it and framing it. They're working on that language. And Bessan says, "We could be announcing this deal any day." And you had Barack Revede over at Axios, which is Trump's personal stenographer, and

They go, "The U.

Barack Revede is back, baby.

Do you see the plan? So Trump is just going to take credit for the Oman and Iran deal. And this is how our admirals and generals hatch the plan, knowing that Donald Trump is really just he wants to say deal and he wants to manipulate the market.

So that's how they implemented this plan.

By the way, even the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Dan Cain had privately warned Donald Trump that the Pentagon, munitions, stockpile is already dangerously low. Our attack homes are low, you know, from the high-marking, even the offensive capabilities, the attack homes, the high-mars, those are depleted. The interceptors, all of our weapons, Trump just did to our military.

What he did to his casinos, and this is what our generals and admirals did, also, as

they revolted against Trump. They know he's terrified of coup, but also Xi Jinping of China. So our admirals and generals made it clear. This is true, I mean, but they made it very clear. They said, "We don't have the capabilities anymore to in any way provide weapons or security

in relative Asia, and Xi Jinping can do whatever he wants at this point." Iran realized that. So what is Iran do?

Iran through their foreign ministry spokesperson then puts out a message saying, "Our

Chinese friends are using their efforts to prevent the escalation of the situation. We don't need any new mediators. Our friends in China share our concerns about escalation with the United States. It should also be noted as well that our admirals and generals leaked out that Saudi Arabia is desperately trying to cut a deal with the Houthis because the U.S. security and

brother doesn't work. And Saudi Arabia realizes that the U.S. is unable to protect it. United Arab Emirates, they were the like the last remaining Arab nation, and then you had Israel who wanted the U.S. to escalate. So what happened last night?

Dubai got a little visit from the Houthis and the Jabel Ali port area. Happened to get hit by a few drones and was plumes of smoke, but you know, in Dubai, they arrest you if you show the footage. And so you have these blackouts in the Arab nations about what's really going down now. What we also learned as well.

And this was from a Reuters report. So you had the report from CNN early in the morning. You had the report from Reuters. U.S. Army depleted much of its long range, based missiles during Iran war, Reuters reports, virtually all of its long range precision missiles during Iran war are gone.

So Reuters was virtually all. CNN was dangerously low, and this was all sighting the top military generals and admirals who were going and just leaking the hell out of this. Also leaking Gulf countries have all been concerned about the shortage of air defense systems impacting their ability to defend against Iranian retaliation.

And there was you had like headset just freaking out about all of this as well. You see the Kairan here from CNN sources, U.S. has had nearly 80% of key missile interceptors in Iran war, or U.S. has used nearly 80% of key missile interceptors.

Top commanders, top commanders, that's what this video is about.

War and stockpiles are dangerously low. Then headset goes, that banner is not true CNN, shame on you. We don't hate the fake news media enough. Isn't that the biggest tell that what these stories is accurate? We don't hate the fake news meeting up.

Remember, headset was forced out of a non-profit for military veterans because of his apparent conduct and his mismanagement. He couldn't run a smaller non-profit for veterans, yet he's the guy put in charge of the defense department.

He should never be near the defense department, yet alone lead it.

So you've got the guy in the oval who bankrupts all of his casinos and bankrupts most of his companies. You've got the guy in the defense department who was pushed out of a non-profit for veterans because of his mismanagement. And you've got our top commanders saying the bankruptor and the mismanager, and I could

say a lot of other horrible things about headset, but I'd be spending the whole video doing that. They bankrupted our military and our generals and admirals and top commanders.

Let me tell you our absolutely pissed right here.

Now, Danny Citronitz, who is a top analyst in the Middle East, is actually from Israel,

but he's been very critical of Israel's behavior and the United States behavior in

all of this. He calls what Trump is doing Trump surrendering and taking credit for the Iran Oman deal that gives Iran control of the straight of them is the necessary evil he calls it.

He says if this is ultimately the agreement that emerges, it's probably the least bad

option available to the Trump administration under current circumstances, especially given it's clear desire to avoid another round of military escalations. The administration has gradually narrowed its own choices, leaving itself with few attractive options. And now to end the confrontation, the administration will be forced to lift the maritime

blockade and restoring the sanctions waiver that allowed Iranian oil exports. The reality has shaped the negotiations from the beginning with the necessary caution.

The current trajectory appears to point more towards de-escalation than further escalation

as a result, a result that will likely frustrate many in Israel while reassuring most

Gulf states whose top priority remains regional stability.

From day one, it was clear that restoring the straight of her moves to its pre-crisis status would have required either regime change in Iran or a sustained military effort to impose control over the waterway. Neither option was politically or strategically acceptable to Washington, now a senior Israeli official leaking to News 12 and 12 in Israel.

Trump wants to deal with any cost. They say Trump is virtually begging Iran right now for a deal. I mean, these leaks are absolutely everywhere right now. And then don't even get out of leave you with this one right here, which is perhaps most embarrassing of all.

It's is the following. This would this leaked out from our top generals and admirals. U.S. military asked troops for creative and unconventional ideas to punish Iran. Senkham sent an email to a broad group of military analysts last week saying, "We are looking for new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran because we need ideas

as per CNN." A source close to Senkham says Senkham is looking at everything, acknowledging it needs to reevaluate its strategy. This was a crowdsourcing query, which military official said was, "Unusual over email showing how desperate the Trump regime is.

Oh, and don't get me started on Lieutenant General Lehi meeting with the Kuwait Armed Forces Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Khalid Al-Sharihan, at the same time the U.S. military has abandoned its bases in Kuwait, in Bakraine, in Qatar, but by Al-U. Did, in Erbil, in all of these areas, the U.S. abandoned its bases and our generals and admirals confirmed.

The U.S. has moved out its equipment, has moved out its troops, has moved out everything because the U.S. is unable to stop Iran from striking it. Just think about the utter retreat and our generals have been very, very clear about what is happening. And again, what a humiliation ritual for the United States, the Donald Trump, has put

us through.

And look, I believe the most patriotic thing we can be doing as Americans right now is calling

out how weak and pathetic Trump is. That's why it was good. It was a good thing to me that our generals and admirals were doing this at calling out. Let me know what you think, please. Did you got your copy of WTF America?
