Here we are.

So under peacetime, this wouldn't be a problem, obviously.

Under the Iraq war even, there was initially a problem with the stockpiles when we went in there.

We were able to surge production because we didn't have the global situation that was so pressurized that we have today.

Now, unfortunately, Steve, these defense contractors, give them all the money in the world, it's a bottleneck issue that they can't overcome with money.

It's an infrastructure problem, and they've not addressed it yet, and it's going to take too long to address now as we're in the middle of this conflagration.

I know.

I think in the next couple of weeks, you're going to see more combat troops.

I know the 80 seconds going in.

The question is where the I believe that this is this is where it's going.

And I think, unfortunately, we are stuck in what's known as an escalation trap and there is no off ramp now.

So, yes, I do believe you will see the introduction of ground troops.

I think it will be a disaster under current conditions.

We're hearing about Gallipoli and Karg Island.

But don't forget, there's also the very real possibility that the president wants to go on some merry uranium hunt in the heart of Iran, cycling in and out 82nd Airborne and Marine units and special forces.

This, to me, sounds insane.

This just doesn't even sound like it's workable.

It's going to get a lot of people killed.

So I hope that that is not the plan.

I hope those Marines are just being brought in for contingency operations.
