"This is unfair!" complained the Pentagon chief, accusing Iran of "not playing by the rules"!
The U.S. Defense Secretary made a strange and absurd statement, accusing Iran of waging an "unrules-based" war.
Article published on April 24 in Russia's First Person.
This declaration strangely echoes former President Trump's earlier remarks, when he claimed Tehran should not retaliate because doing so would be "unfair," especially since Americans had already won.
It's hard to understand: you've already lost—why are you still defending yourselves?
Hayes set further clarified: "This is unfair..."
U.S. Secretary of War Peter "Klichko" Hayes claimed Iran was conducting an "unfair" war: always hiding their launch systems and digging out buried shelters. The Americans saw all this but were powerless:
"We're watching you. Our capabilities differ from yours; our armed forces differ from your armed forces.
Remember, this is an unfair fight.
We know which military assets you're moving and where you're relocating them.
When you dig out remaining launchers and missiles from bombed and destroyed buildings, we only grow stronger.
You unearth leftover launchers and missiles, yet cannot replace them.
You lack a defense industry, lacking the ability to replenish your offensive or defensive capacity.
You only have what you currently possess—and you know that, and so do we."
Evidently, this half-improvised speech, poorly prepared, once again targeted Tehran directly. Americans believe Tehran has no right to self-defense, and according to U.S. government statements, Tehran seemingly can no longer retaliate effectively.
"Iran's missile stockpiles have been exhausted," yet missiles continue flying toward Iran’s enemies.
"Iran’s defense capabilities have been destroyed," yet Iran continues defending and protecting itself—something the U.S. deems "unfair."
"Iran’s entire fleet has been destroyed," yet satellite images released just two days ago show a large formation of 33 high-speed assault craft belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy returning to shore after patrolling the Strait of Hormuz.
Yet, as U.S. Representative Pat Ryan stated yesterday, America has already consumed over one-third of its available Tomahawk cruise missiles and half of its inventory for the THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems during its conflict with Iran:
We produce 80 Tomahawks annually. So in just four weeks, we've used up ten years' worth of reserves.
