Military Analysis Shows that Ukraine Aid Won't Jeopardize U.S. Readiness

Saturday, July 05, 2025

The Defense Department held up a shipment of U.S. weapons for Ukraine this week over what officials said were concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers found that the aid package would not jeopardize the American military's own ammunition supplies, according to three U.S. officials.

Wait, what?

Trump says Ukraine will need Patriot missiles for its defense, chides Putin
www.reuters.com

... U.S. President Donald Trump said Ukraine would need Patriot missiles for its defenses, after speaking with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday, and voiced frustration over Russian President Vladimir Putin's failure to end the fighting.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he had a good call with Zelenskiy, repeating that he was "very unhappy" about his call with Putin a day earlier, given what he called the Russian leader's refusal to work on a ceasefire.

Asked whether the United States would agree to supply more Patriot missiles to Ukraine, as requested by Zelenskiy, Trump said: "They're going to need them for defense... They're going to need something because they're being hit pretty hard."

Trump touted the efficacy of the Patriot missiles, calling the weapon "pretty amazing." ...

Yeah, the Patriot missile are quite amazing.

But Pres Trump has not yet said why Sec Hegseth has apparently stopped shipment of those missiles to Ukraine.

"Now, you are back to infinity spending on infinity wars."

Is there a word for sexual attraction to straw men? All partisan hacks seem to have it.

"But Pres Trump has not yet said why Sec Hegseth has apparently stopped shipment of those missiles to Ukraine."

The most charitable interpretation is that they pulled back on that in the naive hope that the Federation would reciprocate and also pull back on its aggression.

WE are not "back to" anything.

It's Trumpy's World to screw up. If he wants to save a dime now to spend a billion later and then lie about why to the American People then that's his call.

Democrats are just organizing the gear in the janitor closet waiting for permission to clean the mess up again after the latest Trumpy Error.

As they do.
