Trump reportedly said that he thought Tehran would capitulate before closing the Strait and that even if Iran tried the U.S.

military, they could handle it.

Well, now the strait has been closed for nearly a month, strangling the global supply of everything from oil to fertilizer to key components used in computer chips and prescription drugs.

Another thing Trump's top general, Dan Cain, reportedly warned Trump about before the war was that it could lead to shortfalls in critical munitions, warning that there were so many military targets in Iran trying to actually make a dent with deplete, already low stockpiles.

Well, guess what the Washington Post reported today?

The U.S.

has already fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in this war, burning through the weapons at a rate that is alarming to some Pentagon officials.

And just to put that in perspective, recent versions of Tomahawk missiles cost as much as $3.6 million apiece, take up to two years to build.

Only a few hundred are manufactured every year.

But we have already gone through, used more than 850 in four weeks.

Another thing Trump's top military advisor reportedly warned him about before he started this war was that a lack of support from our allies would add significant risk to the operation and to U.S.

personnel.

And last week, Trump called on our allies to help guard ships as they pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Most refused.

Trump was reportedly furious, irate.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham even said that he had never heard Trump so angry in his life.

Then seemingly, I guess to save face, Trump insisted that actually the U.S.

didn't need any help after all, which is clearly not the case.

I mean, take the fact that just today, Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in France meeting with allies of ours that have not sent warships to the Strait, trying to convince them to join us.

Who could have predicted that our allies might not want to rush into a war with Iran?
