No way they were using all those weapons for genocide??!!!?!
lmao as if he’s just now realizing this, sure thing.
More plausibly, US has now run through its stocks of weapons sending them to Ukraine, and doesn’t have the weapons to send. Framing it as refusing to send the weapons because US all of a sudden developed a conscience is a way to avoid admitting this.

That is the most wildly implausible thing I’ve read on Lemmy today.
Western media openly admits that US isn’t able to keep up with ammunition production for Ukraine. Try keep up with the real world.

Yes, but that only applies to artillery shells and there’s a very good reason.

I do, which is why I know that things like JDAMS are entirely unconstrained. The U.S. has hundreds of thousands of them lying around.

Reason being lack of industrial capacity. And it’s not just artillery shells, it’s a systemic problem https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

Not really unconstrained given that US has delusions about fighting China. Also, how many of those still work is a question.
“Why won’t he do anything to stop the bombing?”
stops bomb shipment
“Dumb dumb didn’t know bombs are for bombing? Yeah right!”
Like what even is your comment trying to say?
And the millions of weapons prior to the some 3.5 thousand bombs weren’t?
You’re totally right he should just go ahead and let the shipment happen…?
nobody here is suggesting this except you
At least its a slight movement in the right direction, but until the flow is cut off entirely we need to hold his feet to the fire.
Means tested genocide!
Oh come on. This is pretty limp wristed narrative bait. There was one shipment out of many that maybe got held up, temporarily, potentially by accident, that’s not the firm moral opposition to a genocide that we seem to think it is
Smacks of “I am placing sanctions on Israel” Places sanctions on 3 men
If anyone thinks that they’re either lying or just very stupid
Plot twist: the bombs were intended for use in Rafah and Biden feared they only might be.
… Was there shipments to Israel before last week?
Definitely would. The more accomplices, the better.
Biden has been slow-walking arms to Israel for a while but there are forces that want to use Netanyahu’s actions against him as if Biden has control of him.
