Press TV – Nov 29, 2023
The US military is lacking the funds needed for the Middle East buildup and involvement in the Israeli war on Gaza, the Pentagon has revealed, as the whole world is reacting to US participation in the Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.
Politico reported that the Pentagon has no money to pay for the US military buildup in the Middle East to back the Israeli regime after the Israeli forces launched a genocidal campaign on the people of the Gaza Strip last month.
“We’re taking it out of hide,” said Chris Sherwood, a Pentagon spokesman, adding that “Current events have revised some of the operational assumptions used to develop the FY 2024 President’s Budget request. Specifically, neither the base budget request nor the FY 2024 supplemental request included funding for US operations related to Israel.”
The buildup in the Middle East — which has included extending the deployment of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group operating off the coast of Israel — has therefore forced the military departments and US Central Command to reassess the requirements for current and future operations based on the developing conflict, he said.
The US federal government, the military included, is currently running under a stopgap bill, which temporarily keeps the government open. The stopgap, which has averted the looming government shutdown since June, freezes spending at Fiscal Year 2023 funding levels.
Given the fact that the Pentagon had not planned for the recent military buildup in the Middle East, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has had to pull money from existing operations and maintenance accounts to allocate elsewhere, the report said.
The DoD spokesperson said the Pentagon had to hunt for funds, which meant less money for training, exercises, and the deployments that the military had already planned for the year.
Sherwood said some payments owed by the US military to private military contractors and manufacturers could also be delayed.
Some “delivery of defense articles, services, and/or military education” could be paused, Sherwood said earlier in September when Pentagon was short of funds for Kiev.
The Pentagon said it was still working to figure out the extent and costs of the US support planned for Israel.
In the meantime, the Pentagon continues to splurge US taxpayers’ money on its two main warring allies, Ukraine and Israel.
However, top officials have warned that pursuing the ongoing US military assignments under the current stopgap measure prevents the DoD from starting any new programs or paying for anything above the previous year’s levels.
The United States is Israel’s biggest military ally, providing the Israeli regime with vast and varied weapons and ammunition consignments since the initiation of its war on Palestinians. Congress has approved billions of dollars worth of military aid for the Israeli regime.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
According to the Gaza-based health ministry, so far over 15,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli war, most of them women and children.

Ha, ha, ha.. The yachts of the oligarghs are more expensive then the aircraft carriers… So don’t worry.. Ze war is planned and our boys will be put into the right mood with music, videos’s and naked women.. Yes right now…
The likely truth, Biden and his puppet masters don’t want significant numbers of US Nazi bodybags returning to Nazi Amerika.
A headline attributed to Scott Ritter saying ‘Hamas is about to win’.
I didn’t watch, but many are saying the battle is being lost by the IDF, because of their daft tactics. If you create piles of rubble, you have no cover when you advance, and then Hamas emerges from their tunnels. Maybe they don’t want to win. Maybe this is Bibi’s long war.
Netanyahu has really put Nazi Amerika under the kosh, with nowhere to hide.
The Jews or IDF/Mossad staged their phony black op ‘Hamas’ attack/kidnappings to provide them the pretext/justification to depopulate Gaza & then transport these muslim mongrels to the UK/USA/EU so they can knife white kids like in Ireland & setup their ‘sex grooming gangs’ pimping out brainless white trollops. They’re already transfering the scum into Europe now.
The world is addicted to war which is why there is and will never be peace. God needs to come up with another character as this one isn’t working out.
Not to worry…
HMS Bathtub & sister-ship HMS RustBucket will sally forth into the breach! 😂

“We are taking it [the needed money] out of hide”? What does that mean?
We are taking it out of our hide? Or, we are taking it out of hiding?
The US has been forced to back off its fights since the Korean War. The process has been: invade some other country, spend a lot of money on weaponry and bribery, kill a lot of people, then run away. So, is the claim of not enough money to continue supporting Ukraine just an excuse for carrying out this same pattern? Once Ukraine is fully Russian-occupied, are we somehow going to find enough money to fight a major war in the Middle East?
$3T missing and no one knows where it went ?
These greedy xxxxx are sickening liars.
Arrest them ALL !

According to Scott Ridder (see https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=276599 Experts Agree: Hamas Is Winning, it certainly does seem that Hamas is conveniently slapping the weapons out of the IDF’s hands, based on how they are destroying IDF tanks.
[Spoken of G*d (Khazarian Mafia)] and I will turn thee about and lead thee on, and will cause thee to come up from the uttermost parts of the north [Khazaria]; and I will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel; and I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Ezekiel 39:2-3 (Jewish Publication Society)
Since 1946, US has to date spent some $150+ billion USD (with no inflation adjustment) in aid to Israel. I gather that this has become one of the greatest money laundering schemes to set forth on earth, on a land mass the size of the US state of New Jersey and a population base the size of America’s largest city. Last year, military aid was $3.8 billion USD (annually since Obama.) They seem to depend heavily on conscripted soldiers (reservists) for the bulk of their might. Biden wants to step up munitions supplies to Israel. Where has all that money truling gone toward, and who is pocketing the money?

The signature of where spent is everywhere, for example, weather modifications (widespread global atmospheric false cloud cover spraying by aircraft, HAARP, various fires: Lahaina, Paradise, California, forests and fields worldwide, Australia and other locations flooding, etc.) This is under the false narrative of global climate change. Also include undisclosed global CIA operations support for fomenting war and causing regime changes.
