“US officials push back on reports of dangerously low munitions supplies
Experts warn that low stockpiles of air defense interceptors as a result of the war on Iran leave the US vulnerable.”

Thucydides, Themistocles—
Commanders always fib,
An occupational disease
Old as Sennacherib.
I’d study up on Plutarch, friends.
Officials push back? Duck.
They’ve reached their limited wits’ ends.
Attacked, we’re out of luck.
