A top US military general is going public with a dire warning.
The United States has run out of military equipment.
“If Donald Trump intends to escalate the catastrophic war in Iran, a general who I've been”
praising now for the better part of the year even before the United States invaded Venezuela. He's the one who came out with this publicly. His name is General Alexis Grinkowich, his call sign is Grinch. He's currently the Allied Commander for the United States with NATO. He's a beloved general and based on him going public, I worry that he will probably
be forced out or fired like many of the other top generals and admirals that the Trump regime has pushed out as headset and Trump have pushed out, but General Alexis Grinkowich, he went public in the past 24 hours. The top US commander in Europe with NATO, he warned that the Pentagon no longer has enough navy destroyers to be involved in any escalation of this catastrophic war in Iran.
The way Grinkowich framed it, knowing that Donald Trump is a Netanyahu bootlicker, is Grinkowich's like, I know Israel's the one dragging us into this escalation again, like Netanyahu dragged us into this catastrophic war with Iran, but let's be clear, Trump and headset, then the US regime of war criminals was complicit with the Netanyahu regime of war criminals, but what Grinkowich is saying is, all right, well, then you're not going
“to be able to protect Israel. We're not going to be able, if that's what matters to you,”
Donald apparently, that's the big deal for you, not the American people, not the Middle East Allies, not anybody else, you are criminal. Well, we're not going to be able to protect Israel. So don't be surprised when Iran is able to pierce through the iron, the so-called iron dome in Israel. Iran has already been able to destroy Grinkowich explains and we've been talking about this. The Arab dome, the dome you promised to protect the Arab nations,
Iran is striking all the US bases there, and you're about to expose that the iron dome
doesn't really, isn't able to protect Israel right now, Grinkowich is basically saying,
so these navy destroyers, which have intercepted missiles targeting Israel and other locations
“as well, are stretched by operations in the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and around Iran,”
while maintenance issues have further reduced availability. I want you to think about that too, maintenance issues. We've seen that with the aircraft carrier groups as well, because Higgsith doesn't know what the hell he's doing. The most basic stuff, keep your equipment operational, keep your ships operational, deal with things like the nuts and bolts. I know that's boring for Donald Trump and Higgsith. Things like the plumbing, the laundry, food on the ship,
stuff like that. Higgsith doesn't care about and doesn't think about. And so you have maintenance issues, you have supply chain issues, you have Iran realizes this. That's one of the reasons the Houthis opened up the Red Sea and shut down the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia's tankers. Saudi Arabia now has to take a long route around Africa. MBS sent his brother this past week while Netanyahu was in the US. His brother is the defense minister, Khalil, the Khalid bin Salin,
to meet with Donald Trump and JD Vans, MBS called Donald Trump yesterday, and you had the warning from General Greco, which in Europe saying, "We don't have the ability anymore with navy destroyers to help you if you escalate this catastrophic war. We're giving you this morning." So it wasn't surprising that late last night around 11 p.m., Donald Trump posted, despite the fact that we have the capabilities and levels of military terror strength,
like we've never had before since World War II. We have military terror ready to go,
but the perimeter of a deal with Iran is now being discussed as the perimeter. So we're not going to strike Iran. Look, it's not just an issue of the navy destroyers, and by the way, the navy destroyers carry SM3 and SM6 anti-Bolistic missile interceptors. We also know that the United States has run out of its stockpile of the Thad interceptors, like each one of them cost about $12.5 million each. The Pack 3 Patriot Interceptors, we've run out of,
In order to replenish the Thad and the Pack 3s and these SM3s and SM6s,
takes years. I mean, maybe some Pack 3s will be ready to go in 2020,
“nine based on what we've depleted, but these Thads can potentially be pushed to 2030, maybe even”
later, for when they will be ready. I mean, it is a real dire situation indeed. And so I want to share with you. I want to share with you, if I can, just to remind you what Grinker witch said back in January of 2026. This is when I began highlighting General Grinker witch, and one of the things he was talking about then is he's like pay attention, because while Donald Trump is out there attacking Greenland and attacking, you know, all of these countries that, you know, that Trump
is attacking our allies, Grinker witch is like, I just want you to be aware, you've got Iran, he was in a Switzerland, he didn't sweeten rather when he was giving this speech and talking about what a model ally sweeten is. He was trying to, you know, be nice to like other NATO allies,
“Grinker witch was, but he was like, look, Iran, China, North Korea, because they're working together,”
they're building up their munitions while Trump is out there basically attacking allies. That's
what Grinker witch was basically saying here play this clip. China continues to fund Putin's war machine. Iran continues to supply technology and weapons, and North Korean combat troops remain in Russia on Ukraine's border. And of course, there's a confluence between Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, and their dark fleet of oil tankers that is helping to fund the war. In the Arctic in the high north, we see a similar trend. Russian and Chinese vessels are conducting more and more
joint patrols. Chinese ice breakers and research vessels are in Arctic waters, and their research
is not for peaceful purposes. It's to gain a military advantage. Russia meanwhile continues
testing advanced capabilities in the barren sea. As new shipping routes emerge and new resources are discovered, the Arctic only grows in strategic importance. And all of this comes in the midst of an increasing hybrid threat. Airspace violations, GPS, and GNSS interference, and the shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea threatening underwater infrastructure. In short, the Arctic in northern Europe by extension has become a front line for strategic competition. And then in that same event, again,
back in January of 2026, Grinker, which you just issued this warning, was talking about trying to do his best to make sure that the U.S. had a readiness posture. And so the fact that he's now saying July 31st, August 1st, August 2nd, that the U.S. no longer has an ability to project a readiness posture. When he said this was his main focus, as the Allied commander Europe of NATO back in January, it shows you how disastrous this all is here. Play this clip. Well, I won't comment on
the political dimensions of recent rhetoric. It's not my place to do that as a military officer. But I will just observe the readout from the North Atlantic Council, where all of our permanent representatives from the 32 nations get together to discuss thorny issues. That those dialogues continue
“in Brussels. They've been healthy dialogues from what I've heard. And I think that's the most”
important thing. Members of the Alliance who've worked together for so many years are talking together and working through these thorny issues. You have this role for about six months now. Has your priorities in any way changed? Is it only six months? I'm sorry you feel that way. No, no. It's actually been truly a fantastic six months. One of the best jobs that exists on the planet in my view and I've truly enjoyed it. My priorities have been pretty
consistent. I've got several of them. One of us, of course, I'm focused on taking care of our people, your people, that you contribute to the Alliance and to our missions. They are the bread and butter of what we do every single day. And Michael Klassen and I actually got an opportunity to go see some of the Swedish troops yesterday. Swedish Marines who, I mean, some of the most impressive young women and men that I've seen in uniform throughout my 33 years of service. So, you all have
to be incredibly proud of what those young people are doing for your country and for the Alliance.
We need to take care of them.
that they need. My second focus is we're fighting readiness. And, you know, the Alliance is ready
“to fight tonight, but we need to continue to hone our readiness and be more and more ready every”
single day. That's headquarters readiness, making sure we have the processes and capabilities in place to do the things we need to do. It's also individual unit level readiness. Michael's focused on that here in Sweden, all of the chief of defense are and I am as well. And it's by being ready that we continue to maintain that deterrence of it. And again, just to remind you of Grinkowitch as well, back on March 12th, Grinkowitch admitted right away to the war crimes the United
States committed in Manab when Trump and Higgsith and the band of war criminals slaughtered the little girls at the Manab Elementary School. Grinkowitch took accountability right away. It's why when he's out there going public and saying we don't have Navy destroyers right now, adding on top of the fact that we don't have that interceptors and pack three interceptors
“and end and end going on to say that the issues also have to deal with maintenance issues and”
were stretched by operations in the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, in addition to Iran. He's saying how dire it is. Listen to what he said about the Manab war crimes here play this clip.
Over the course of my career, as a fighter pilot, I've always done everything I can to avoid
civilian harm and civilian casualties. And I would tell you, I'm absolutely committed to that. I know that apartment is committed to that and that when tragedy is like this happened, it causes us all to reflect and try to improve our processes. I've been involved in the targeting process, both of the tactical and the operational levels throughout my career. And I would tell you, we do have a number of safeguards in the system. Every single time that at the tactical level, I was going to
release a weapon on a target. I was personally making an assessment as to whether there was any chance of civilian harm. And if there was, was that proportional to the military necessity of striking
the target. At the operational level, both from my time in US Central Command, previously and then
now at US European Command, I can assure you that we have robust standards that we go through and look to see and update the imagery and update our understanding of the target and refresh the intelligence on a recurring basis to determine the chances of civilian harm and to address any collateral concerns that might be there. So you just just know I'm absolutely committed to trying to mitigate that risk. I appreciate your testimony. I'm highly concerned, however, that Secretary
Heggseth does not agree with you. Secretary Heggseth has criticized rules of engagement, designed to adhere to the laws of armed conflict and support civilian harm mitigation. Secretary Heggseth has also caught the civilian protection center of excellence by about 90 percent. Now, at the same time, he's giving these warnings. The Pentagon also was further attacking Ukraine and attacking the US leadership in NATO to help Ukraine as you know Donald Trump did the
ultimate rug poll to Zelensky, promising Zelensky Patriot Interceptor licenses and Patriot Interceptors, but definitely licenses back during the NATO summit in Turkey and then this past 48 hours, Trump's like, "Now I'm not going to give it to you anymore." So Trump taps Zelensky along for a full month, let Putin build up his ballistics. Zelensky was promised these interceptors or the licenses. He needed him heading into the winter and now Donald Trump's like, "Gotcha." Screwed you over.
“I believe that was all part of it. I'm giving you my opinion with Trump's plans with Putin.”
But the Pentagon is now handing leadership of NATO's Ukraine military aid coordination group to a European ally. They're going to move it away from Grinkovic Joe as well. Marking another step in the Trump administration's effort to reduce the US military role in Europe. This also comes at the same time that the Wall Street Journal reports China is rapidly closing the satellite gap with the US, expanding its surveillance, navigation, and military space capabilities.
It's growing satellite network improves intelligence gathering, precision targeting and tracking of US forces, while advances in GPS alternatives, AI analysis, and anti-Satellite weapons are raising concerns that Beijing could increasingly challenge US military dominance in space. And you've got people like Grinkovic warning about all of this. Meanwhile, you even have state regime media saying, "The Pentagon is confronting a growing reality. This is from Fox."
This is Fox. The Pentagon is confronting a growing reality after months of fighting in Iran.
America's stockpile of missile defense interceptors is shrinking so much that...
weighing, whether they can continue the current cycle of limited retaliatory strikes.
“Iran's strategy appears to be targeting US bases, forcing the US to deplete its advanced”
missile defense interceptors, such as Patriot and that systems, and compelling the Pentagon to accept greater risk in defending US troops as the conflict drags on. Iran appears to believe this is its best hope about lasting the US military. So Iran, over the past several days, while Donald Trump's thing, I'm going to blow the F.ing. S. out of them. Iran's like do it. Blow the F.ing. S. out of us. Deplete more of your interceptors. And Iran will shoot very,
will shoot at various US bases, often the Mufaki, the Mufaki, the Mufaki salty base in Jordan, but also the bases in Kuwait areas in Kuwait as well. Make the US launch a few of its interceptors. The US basically has depleted its interceptors. Expose that the US Arab dome has been eliminated. And now Iran knows that the Navy destroyer capabilities are gone as well. And by the way,
“we've been saying this for a long time and now Fox is finally reporting it. But let's remember”
what did Hex had say March 5th, 2026? And you know when Hex had said something, he's lying,
how do you know he's lying? He opens up his mouth. Here's what Hex had said March 5th, 2026.
Let's play it. We've got no shortage of munitions. Our stockpiles of defensive and offensive weapons allow us to sustain this campaign as long as we need to. Again, our munitions status only increases as our advantage increases. But then February 5th of 2025, Hex Sith was bragging how he was giving these interceptor capabilities to Israel while sitting across from Netanyahu. Let's play it. We've supplied munitions that were previously not supplied. They're useful in eradicating
radical enemies. And we are committed to continue to do so. So March 4th, 2026, you had general Dan Kane, the three star general who's now the chairman of the joint chiefs who was not qualified to become the chairman of the joint chiefs because he was not a four star with the requisite combat experience. But because Hex Sith is a racist, then Trump is a racist. They fired CQ Brown Jr., the chairman of the joint chiefs, who, by the way, Trump elevated to a top position back
in Trump's first administration, Biden elevated him to the position of chairman of the joint
chiefs. He was a qualified four star and then they fired him, pushed him out to have the unqualified Dan Kane because he had a nickname raising and he's white and they had to give him a waiver because he wasn't qualified. Let's play this clip. The throttle is coming up as the secretary said as opposed to ramping down. This will allow us to maintain consistent pressure on the adversary over the coming days, disrupt their launch timelines and impose cost every day around the
clock. I know there have been a lot of questions about munitions. We have sufficient precision munitions for the task at hand, both on the offense and defense. But I want to tell you teammates as a matter of practice, I don't want to be talking about quantities and I know there's been a great debate about that and I appreciate the interest, but just know that we consider that an operational security matter. And to remind you as well, when Senator Mark Kelly,
question hexeth back on April 30th, 2026, this was April of 2026. Okay. Now we're post-MOU. We've had the re-escalation of the catastrophic war and so as bad and dire as things were, when Mark Kelly Senator Kelly was questioning hexeth here, imagine this scenario times 10 times worse where we are right now and we've literally run out of weapons and you have a top general saying we've run out of weapons.
“Let's play this clip. Okay. How much years to rob a planish? That's the question. I think that's”
exactly the right question to Senator because the time frame we were existing under was unacceptable. Okay. Well, this budget does, I mean, months and years last year. We're building new plants in real time, just to replace what we had. I said months and then you said years, but it depends on the weapon system, but two to three, four acts of what we have today. So yes, we're dealing with the reality under the previous administration of what they sent to Ukraine and what
they allocated else. Okay. I got it. So we've hired years. We're the munitions. And it is clear
That there's been expanded to try to achieve some objectives.
this more stuck. And so again, as a result of the U.S. running out of these interceptors,
“Iran's been able to strike these U.S. bases in the region with impunity. They're able to hit”
it hard and we've been following with the surveillance for the satellite footage all of the areas
that they've been able to hit. You had, again, MBS and MBS's brother calling Trump, you're out of
missiles. What are you doing? You've exposed all of our nations. There's no Arab dome, all of the
“security interceptors and all of the security benefits you promised us for our quid pro quo's”
have been thrown out the window. You look like a loser and now Iran has its ballistic missiles and chides. They're going to strike our energy infrastructure if you start to bomb their energy infrastructure. And you can protect us anymore, Donald. You're utterly pathetic. By the way, China's moving
“and now, and going to offer a security umbrella to the Middle East in the absence of the United”
States and then Donald Trump announced, I've agreed for the future benefit of the world and likewise the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran that we're going to do. We've come up with the parameters of a deal. He goes, do you mean the parameters? The perimeter of a deal. He says, "So I'm not going to bomb Iran and blow the FGS out of them as he's previously threatened." series developments folks will keep me posted every step of the way. Let me know what you think.
