Is he lying? I think he’s telling the truth about the Patriot systems. Europe isn’t there yet but they will catch up.

Virtually every EU country has committed to significant increases in military spending. An unintended benefit of our ass hat President Donald Trump’s many fuck ups with our allies.

You just said Zelensky was wrong about Europe being unable to compensate for US military aid. Without wading into the industrial capacity issue (which European nationalist redditors refuse to acknowledge), can you explain why is he saying this? Why is the Washington Post saying it?

Moreover, why is the US unwilling to make these deliveries? Even when pulling out of Vietnam, the US wasn't running out of weapons like this, it was restructuring the financial system to pay for the war, and unable to match the tenacity of the proud Vietnamese people. What's going on? Where did all of the Patriot missiles go? Did they fall into the couch cushions?

While we've got you on the line, how many Patriot missiles does the US produce a year?

You didn't think we were joking about all this the past few years, did you?

Israel is on the loose and the usa will always prioritize israel over ukraine. During the 12 days war with Iran there was fear of shortage . Israel is not a trusworthy state and the usa is anticipating that war would resume at some point

Israel used years of Patriot supplies in less than 2 weeks and all they can do is lick their wounds, nothing to show for it
