This is hilarious. Maybe they can start a nationwide bake sale.

Sad part is they've only fired a dozen so far which makes up a quarter of their stockpile.

Well, their citizens are also deprived of gun ownership rights. It is appropriate that their once vaunted Navy (we have have to go back a century :) ) can't even properly equip and defend itself.

This is big crisis even for a fallen empire that once colonized almost whole mideast. Too many brown people to terrorize, not enough bombs.

I'm sure Halliburton is ready to step into the breach....

Like an addiction.
Once you start using, you need more and more.

And the pusher has more,, for a price.

Then, of course, is the issue of getting them used up before their expiration dates. Can't have them going to waste.

The US has fired 162 Cruise Missiles with valuation between $1.1-$1.6 million each. ~$1/4 Billion just in Cruise missiles. Billion Dollar B-2 bomber flies halfway around the world to drop $1 million in bombs on a runway.

The UK has fired 12 and England is basically insolvent if not for their counterfeiting Central Bank. Like othes have stated, Central Banks are how you fund war and weapons. Print more pounds to buy US Cruise missiles. It's just more BS on this "JOINT" operation nonsense. So Far, he US has flown more than 95% of all aircraft sorties.


FYI:
Okay, how to funnel US tax dollars to foreign allies... So the DOD comes up with a new model Cruise missile (model "B") and then lists the old cruise missiles(model "A") as legacy antiquated weapons. They are then listed by Defense Security Cooperation Agency for sale to foreign nations at up to a 99% discount on defense items.

Remember when Rumsfeld stated there was $2.3 Trillion missing from the DOD in assets? Then the story disappears.

Well, how would you like to own a T-37B (F-5 fighter) for $20K? or a F-16A Falcon fighter for $6 million? Maybe a 5 ton HD Army truck for $8K?

All for purchase, @ the low low low low price of being connected/cooperating with Washington DC.

At those prices, I could take Morris Dees salary from the SPLC, and equip a militia infantry battalion.

I suspect that he has already done just that!
