The video is based on an article by Christopher Leonard in The Atlantic to denounce the depletion of THAAD missile stocks after ten months of conflict with Iran. The guest claims that the US military-industrial complex is unable to produce these munitions quickly due to a fragile industrial base and rigid budgeting processes. He argues that the THAAD system was designed for brief interventions, in accordance with the Powell Doctrine, rather than prolonged wars. The host reports testimonies from military personnel regarding defense failures at bases in Jordan. The guest concludes that the United States no longer has the reserves necessary to effectively protect its bases and allies in the Gulf.
