Pentagon Halting Some Munitions to Ukraine: We Can’t Afford It

RedState

The news cycle has been dominated over the last few days by domestic affairs (the One Big, Beautiful Bill) and the Middle East (the USA and Israel reducing Iran’s nuclear program to rubble). That happens, but we are reminded that there is still a problem in Eastern Europe, specifically in Ukraine, where it’s still slash-and-snap time. The United States has been helping Ukraine out with arms shipments, but everyone knows that can’t go on forever. 

On Tuesday, “not forever” reared its head. The Pentagon has looked at inventories and will be stopping shipments of some missiles and other munitions. Why? Because we’re running dangerously low. more

  1. ^^^Then one could argue that Israel was a UN contrivance, and that there was no such thing as an Israeli until 1948. Israel may have a right to exist, but does it have a right to a secret nuclear arsenal? Does it have a special right to not be a party to the NPT? Dies it have a right to stiff-arm the IAEA? Other countries have been bombed for less.

  2. Anonymous, that argument is wearing thinner with each passing year. If you want to believe that Israel has some holy dispensation unavailable to other nations, ostensibly by virtue of the God Almighty, and maybe the holocaust, I won’t try to disabuse you of that notion. I used to believe some of that myself. But Israel is picking fights it can’t win, not even if we devote our blood and treasure, and depending of God Almighty to pull his contrivance’s fat out of the fire is pretty risky. There must be limits.

  3. I looked up ancient Israel maps from 950 bc, don’t see no Palestine. Maybe we want to help Israel because they have nukes on subs and when they get nuked the entire middle east will get nuked then the rest of the world will join in. Best thing that could happen is every body leaves them alone. Everything was ok until the Palestinians started putting babies in microwaves and cooking them alive.
