It's no wonder the US has come out to pressure Israel. A former US military official has now revealed the inside story! On July 18, according to foreign media reports, Douglas MacGregor, a former Pentagon advisor and U.S. Army retired colonel, stated that the U.S. missile reserves for defense and offense can only sustain about eight days of military operations, and the country's stockpiles have been exhausted. I'm not sure whether this has been reported to Trump. He should be aware of how low our actual stockpiles really are.
Evidently, the message from the informed U.S. military officials is clear: the U.S. is facing a serious shortage of missile supplies. Through the U.S. military's disclosure, this can explain why Trump warned Israel not to drop those bombs. Doing so would be a serious violation. It requires Israel to abide by the ceasefire agreement with Iran.
Now, in the Syria issue, the U.S. is also warning Israel. For example, the spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, Bruce, said that Israel is disrupting the ceasefire in southern Syria and is doing everything it can to drag the entire region into bloody, chaotic, and conflict-ridden situations. Ultimately, the U.S. does not want the Middle East situation to escalate, one of the reasons being that the U.S. missile reserves have run out. If the situation escalates, the U.S. won't be able to handle it. Honestly, the U.S. weapon stocks have been depleted to this extent, which is truly unexpected. From Russia's perspective, the U.S. wanting a 50-day ceasefire seems impossible.
