About 13% of it comes from Iran.

So I'm very curious to hear what Trump's conversation with Xi next month is going to look and sound like.

if the ceasefire breaks down they've been sharing intelligence with the iranians just as the russians have the russians are keen not to move it away from china but you know i spend more time focused on russia the russians are very keen to they put on the table we can send the uranium to us we will enrich it for the iranians so let us do a favor for trump in pursuit or in in facilitation of our grand rapprochement with the united states

But lift sanctions on us, too.

And let's end the war in Ukraine on favorable terms to ourselves.

The Bulwark Podcast
Michael Weiss: Iran Is Not Likely to Forget about the War

No, and China has been all too happy to watch the United States burn through some of its critical munitions going after Iran.

The Bulwark Podcast
Michael Weiss: Iran Is Not Likely to Forget about the War

Yeah, so the PRISM is basically the next generation of attackums.

The Bulwark Podcast
Michael Weiss: Iran Is Not Likely to Forget about the War

It's longer range, it's more powerful.

The Bulwark Podcast
Michael Weiss: Iran Is Not Likely to Forget about the War

One of the reasons we were able to give Ukraine attackums after this big back and forth about should we, shouldn't we, is we were phasing them out, right?

The Bulwark Podcast
Michael Weiss: Iran Is Not Likely to Forget about the War

The PRISM was the new...

new game in town and i don't know i have to talk to my weapons bean counter friends how many we had in our stockpile there's obviously classified stocks as well but it seems like on in the first few days of this thing we launched all of them to say nothing about our expenditure of patriot missiles you know the ukrainians were staring mouth agape watching us fire patriot interceptors at iranian shahids when these guys have their own drones that take down shahids that they've manufactured at scale

simply because they needed to.

They used shotguns to take down Shahids in Kiev, for Christ's sakes.

The United States is learning on its feet how to wage 21st century warfare.

The Bulwark Podcast
Michael Weiss: Iran Is Not Likely to Forget about the War

I'm sorry to say this, the first casualties, fatalities, I'm sorry, that we suffered in Kuwait, that was simply because the military facility, the blast walls that were constructed were constructed for what purpose?

The Bulwark Podcast
Michael Weiss: Iran Is Not Likely to Forget about the War

Keeping suicide bombers on vehicles out.

But they weren't constructed to withstand strikes from drones that could easily navigate their way better than missiles can.

So we've got a lot of updating to do in our arsenal and in our force posture.
