America’s national security is at a breaking point as years of unchecked foreign entanglements have dangerously depleted our defense capabilities. The Pentagon now possesses only a quarter of the Patriot missile interceptors needed to defend our homeland and global installations—an alarming shortfall after relentless spending in Ukraine and prolonged involvement in the Middle East. Missile reserves have been drained protecting Israel and American bases abroad, while our own stockpiles remain critically short, and manufacturers can’t keep up with demand. Even vital allies’ pleas for air defense go unanswered, as Marco Rubio admitted, “we do not have” the interceptors they need. With threats mounting from hostile regimes and Western defenses stretched thin, this dramatic collapse in preparedness is a wake-up call—it’s time to put America’s security first.
