    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.

      How about the sentence before that for context:

      The TV report also addresses what it says have been claims that the IDF is engaged in “armament economics” — in other words, that it is conserving ammunition to ensure it does not run out.
