Israel ain’t Ukraine
Israel does get weapons from us but they also do their own thing.
That’s what makes them so fucking annoying. More than half of the funds stay in the Middle East.
While most countries have to come purchase most of their weapons from us.
Israeli spending probably is something like 60/40…
“Who makes weapons for Israel”
A large Israeli state-owned weapons
manufacturer, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems makes missiles, drones, and other weapons systems for the Israeli military. The Israeli military has used Rafael Spike Guided Missiles extensively to target, from the air and ground, people inside buildings in the Gaza Strip.”
Where does Israel get its military weapons from?
Today, the overwhelming majority of Israel's military equipment is either manufactured in the United States (and often modified in Israeli workshops), or is developed and manufactured locally, with an increasing emphasis on advanced technology, including aerospace and electronics.”

Throw one in Kiryat HaMemshala too.Fixed
And guess what Zelensky still wants more
NBC host Kristen Welker asked Zelensky if Ukraine could win the war now that the House approved additional foreign aid Saturday, including $61 billion for his country. He said his country could win the war if it gets the weapons systems it needs, including long-range weapons and air defense systems.
“I think this support will really strengthen the armed forces of Ukraine. And we will have a chance for victory if Ukraine really gets the weapon system, which we need so much, the thousands of soldiers need so much. And this aid should not be just spread into layer all over, but it has to end up in tangible weapon systems,” Zelensky said through a translator on “Meet the Press.”
I always thought it was weird we give them money to turn around and buy American weapons, instead of the government buying the shit at a discount and then sending it overseas.
I mean we shouldn’t bomb Palestinian land right?
I didn’t mention NATO or any agreements between them and us in my comment, but so be it. Ultimately It boils down to who you trust, however, there’s a myriad of educated people saying that RU is a threat to the US. Below are a few articles from the last few years. Even without going all Collin Powell its pretty clear that Putin is no fan of anything resembling democracy having been in power for 25 years and is slated for another 10 or so. I don’t think that’s a good idea for someone leading such a vast and resourceful nation with 1,700 (per Wikipedia) nuclear warheads,. The next thing that informs my opinion is the extent to which the Russian propaganda machine has been relentlessly aimed at african americans misinforming them and dissuading them from participation in politics. Yeah, that bothers me as much as anything.
Yes, Russia Is a Threat to the United States
Top US military intelligence official says Russian military poses an ‘existential threat’ to the US
Pence warns that Putin will attack a NATO nation if he overruns Ukraine
Survey: Russia Rates Highest as a Threat to the World, Half See U.S. as a Global Danger
Seven-in-Ten Americans Now See Russia as an Enemy
Russian Cyberattacks Present Serious Threat To U.S.
U.S. Commander in Europe Says Russia Is a 'Chronic Threat' to World
Russia warns United States: we have the might to put you in your place
Russia is ready for nuclear war, Putin warns the West
Russia's pursuit of a space-based nuclear weapon raises national security concerns in Washington
They don’t think we deserve it. You will even see posters on BGOL, supposed black men, say it.
Both sides are voltron for wars lol
Russia, Iran/Middle East, China

Let Congress pass a bill first. Because I happen to understand that President's don't pass laws and the Congress can pass laws even without a President's signature.
Now, what are YOU doing to advocate for reparations, since you are so passionate about it besides posting on a porn board?
My thoughts are that America is a racist country that will never pass reparations. And even if a reparations law did pass, it would be killed by the supreme court. And even if that didn't happen, the lawmakers that passed it would be voted out of office in the next election and replaced by people that would over turn it.
So it's not realistic, and largely used by people with a political axe to grind. Such as yourself.
You aren't really fighting for reparations. You just use the issue as a way to attack politicians you don't like.
Israel has a right to defend itself!

Pentagon announces ‘urgently needed’ $400M military aid package for Ukraine
By Victor Nava
By Victor NavaPublished May 10, 2024, 6:15 p.m. ET
A $400 million military aid package unveiled by the Pentagon on Friday will provide Ukraine with surface-to-air missiles, artillery rounds and other much-needed weaponry and equipment to hold off Russian advances in the war-torn country’s northeast.
Friday’s package is the third tranche of aid for Kyiv since Congress approved $60 billion in additional funding last month.
It includes munitions for Patriot air defense systems and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems; Stinger anti-aircraft missiles; High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and ammunition; howitzer artillery rounds; High-speed Anti-radiation missiles (HARMs); Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles; M113 Armored Personnel Carriers; and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, among other equipment.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken described the firepower heading Kyiv’s way as “significant” and “urgently needed” as Russian forces made a renewed bid to capture Ukraine’s second largest city, Kharkiv.
“As President Biden has made clear, the United States and the international coalition we have assembled will continue to stand with Ukraine in its defense of its freedom,” Blinken said in a statement.
The package also includes coastal and riverine patrol boats; trailers; TOW and Javelin missiles; AT-4 anti-armor systems; precision aerial munitions and demolitions munitions; ammunition for small arms; grenades; chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear protective equipment and spare parts.
The weapons are being sent through the president’s drawdown authority, which pulls from existing Defense Department stockpiles.
It is the 57th shipment of military equipment being provided to Ukraine from DoD inventories since August 2021.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that he hopes to have the weapons on the battlefield as soon as possible.
“This is exactly what we need. Thank you,” Zelensky said of the new aid package in his daily address.

“We are working on logistics to ensure that all the weapons prove their worth at the front as soon as possible,” he added.
Zelensky, 46, indicated that Russian troops are in the process of expanding their operations in Kharkiv, near Russia’s border, and that he has directed more manpower to the region as a result.
The White House believes the new aid package and future shipments of defensive and offensive weapons will prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from making any significant gains in Ukraine for at least the rest of the year.
“It is possible that Russia will make further advances in the coming weeks, but we do not anticipate any major breakthroughs,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Friday. “And over time, the influx of US assistance will enable Ukraine to withstand these attacks over the course of 2024.”
The US has provided Ukraine roughly $50.6 billion in military aid since Russia’s February 2022 invasion.
