The Pentagon has halted shipments of critical US Patriot air defence systems and other precision weapons to Ukraine after concern that US stockpiles are running too low, prompting alarm in Kyiv.
At the end of last week’s Nato summit, Donald Trump hinted that supplies of Patriot missile interceptors were running down because some had been supplied to Israel, though he suggested he would like to help Kyiv.
After a meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the US president acknowledged that Ukraine did “want to have the anti-missile systems, as they call the Patriots, and we’re going to see if we can make some available”.
But Trump added: “They’re very hard to get. We need them. We were supplying them to Israel,” implying that supporting Israel in its war with Iran – a priority for the Republican administration – had set back its willingness to help Kyiv.
What about to Israel?
crickets as truckload after truckload of weapon drives by headed for a genocide
Not only for the genocide of gaza, but the future invasion they will commit. Soon the US will do what they are doing to Gaza, but to any state or area they deem a “Blue State” or whatever they call the enemy.
exactly, they fear they won’t have enough weapons to give to Israel.
Pathetic that the way Israel uses weapons is basically playing a lottery where they randomly decide to murder a starving, defenseless Palestinian and the way Ukraine would use those same weapons is to save lives.
Ah so the lives would get saved by a russian strike on the weapons transport destroying a bunch of “yankee’s civilian killer ™” therefore reducing the stockpile of yankee’s civilian killer ™
Arming Ukraine just prolongs a war that’s clearly lost. That costs more lives than it saves.
Thw same excuse zionists use against palestinians
They think Palestinians should be driven from their homes or exterminated. They don’t care how many Palestinians die, so why would they make that argument? I’ve never heard a zionist say that.
If you care how many Ukranians die, you’d want the war to end sooner rather than later. The peace terms aren’t getting any better, so all their government is doing is getting more of their people killed.
Not all zionists are honest scum. There is the type who say palestinians should resist and they will save palestinians life. They say if hamas never attacked the over 60k dead palestinians would have been saved.
I would like ukranians to stop dying but not by giving up part of their land
If anyone says this, they don’t mean it, because it’s completely contradictory. They’re lying to you.
There’s no future resolution to this war that leaves Ukraine with more land than they have today. Continuing the war just means it will end with less Ukranian land and less Ukranians.
It’s unlike Palestine because Russia is not fighting a war of extermination and is not trying to drive residents from their homes. The people in the parts of pre-war Ukraine that Russia now controls aren’t being massacred or evicted; they are predominantly Russian speakers who had (to be charitable to Ukraine) legitimate grievances with the Ukranian government after the U.S.-backed coup in 2014.
From the Ukrainian perspective, there is actually a benefit to a peace on Russia’s terms: Ukraine keeps more of its land and its people stop dying. There’s nothing to be gained by continuing the war because it isn’t going to turn around. This is again unlike Palestine, where peace on Israeli terms would involve at minimum the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and where western public support for Israel has collapsed.
I said it’s a terrible excuse so i reject their argument. It’s true that if Palestinian never resisted over 60k would never die in 2 years but still nobody can strip their right to resistance and the over 60k dead Palestinians responsibility lay exclusively on Israel
Palestinians continuing to resist like i already said also caused them to lose more lands every time , it’s still unacceptable. Russia and Israel are both claiming that control of those land are for purely security reasons
I didn’t mean to say Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine is exactly the same but i still standing with my view that there is similar excuses. Another similarity is how both use the argument of the group of person not existing . Israel say that there is no Palestinians and all the land is our , Russia say that Ukrainians are just Russians that Ukraine was simply part of Russia .
I think Russia could have with economic pressure alone stop Ukraine from joining NATO especially if they convince China that a NATO Ukraine which protect the United state interests in the world is a risk for China too . The war was really overkill. Occupation also is required to be temporary, yet Russia has not stated a plan to when they could approximately give back those lands. What can stop Russia from saying forever that there is a risk that Ukraine join NATO?
