The Atlantic published a bombshell report on Monday revealing that Vice President JD Vance has “repeatedly questioned” whether or not Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon is giving President Donald Trump an accurate portrayal of the war in Iran and the toll it is taking on the U.S. military’s arsenal.

The Atlantic’s Missy Ryan, Vivian Salama, Michael Scherer, and Nancy A. Youssef share a byline on the report titled, “The Pentagon May Not Be Telling Trump the Full Picture About the War.”

The report cited two senior administration officials recalling that “the vice president has queried the accuracy of the information the Pentagon has provided about the war. He has also expressed his concerns about the availability of certain missile systems in discussions with President Trump.”

“Both Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, and General Dan Caine, who chairs the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have publicly said that U.S. weapons stockpiles are robust, and portrayed the damage to Iranian forces after eight weeks of fighting as drastic,” added the Atlantic report before quoting Vance insiders

Would Trump have listened either way?

1. Just give him the bad news when he has nodded off.

That way they can say they "presented the information".

[Captain Zero]

2. Availibility of Certain Missile Systems

That's ok there is definitely one missile system that does need to be available to his highness, nor to BiBi.

3. Willing to bet that this is 100% fact

4. They're playing Trump like everyone else is. Its so easy.

[GiqueCee]

5. Trump deliberately...

... surrounded himself with liars, so why should he expect them to tell him the truth about anything?

[tishaLA]

6. The Atlantic has been killing it.

at a time when WaPo, NYT, LA Times, etc. have been far too meek, The Atlantic has been breaking big stories constantly about this corrupt regime.

7. oh please

JD Fucking Vance would know better than anyone else you can't tell Trump anything he doesn't want to hear.......why does he think Trump picks people as unqualified as - well, Kegseth and Vance

8. Vance would have received information from the Pentagon that was heavily filtered

so as not to upset the current WH power structure.

Vance would have filtered it down more, right down to . . . all going to plan!

All to protect the walls from ketchup stains, of course.

9. Vance trying to separate himself from this debacle?

edited- in the atlantic article it says hegseth has presidential aspirations..........................................................................

13. I'm pretty sure Vance does too.

And putting distance between him and Trump on the disastrous Iran war is to his advantage.

Hegseth, on the other hand, is loving the war like it's the latest first-person-shooter video game.

10. blame the pentagon rank and file so they can launch a purge....

[niyad]

11. Seriously??? We already know krasnov's daily "bbriefings" are basically

two minute blow jobs. . oooops,, two minute, highly edited, action videos.

[patphil]

12. Are we looking for a scapegoat; someone to blame that isn't named Trump?

Hegseth is an easy target. He is stupid, arrogant, and appears to revel in his power as Secretary of Defense, while at the same time having no clue as to how run the military.
He's also universally disliked.

14. "Would Trump have listened either way?"

Exactly.

It's not like Trump lives in the same reality as the rest of us anyway.
