Why do people hate the US government? /s
But they’ve urged Israel to act within international law so it’s ok.
Like a parent telling their kid not to eat too much while buying everything the kid asks for.
A great man once said...they hate us for our freedom.
I'm kinda.... not ok with this?
It says there has been no case since the start of the war where the Air Force did not strike, or ground forces did not fire, because of a shortage of ammunition.
Genocide Joe couldn't get the Ukrainians their weapons but the IDF Nazis sure don't have an ammunition shortage.
Genocide Joe has sent far more weapons to Ukraine than to Israel. Ukraine is also consuming far more ammunition than Israel thanks to the type and scope of the conflicts being vastly different.
Ukraine getting decades old mortars while israel gets brand new F35's and 2000 pound bunker busters to throw on schools.
Furthermore israel has received far more military aid than Ukraine if you only count a years before the Russian invasion.
Genocide Joe has put in insane work to remove weapons restrictions for israel including giving them the American stockpile that was already there but not meant for israel. He is not doing this kind of work for Ukraine at all.
Ukraine can't exactly use 2000lb bombs very often, given the strength and depth of Russian air defence, but it has great use for 'decades old mortars'.
Ukraine has recieved plenty of shit that wasn't for export or came directly from US Army stockpiles. ATACMS is a good example of this.
They could if they directly got some free F35's with it like israel has. Instead it took two years to get them a few old F16's.
If it takes 3-6 months to train ukrainian pilots to fly f-16 it would take a lot longer to train them on F-35.
Israel is a partner nation in the F-35 program, are you sure they got them "for free"?
You should look up how much free money America gives israel every single year. They got way more than that and all for free.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
