The Pentagon has halted shipments of critical US Patriot air defence systems and other precision weapons to Ukraine after concern that US stockpiles are running too low, prompting alarm in Kyiv.

At the end of last week’s Nato summit, Donald Trump hinted that supplies of Patriot missile interceptors were running down because some had been supplied to Israel, though he suggested he would like to help Kyiv.

After a meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the US president acknowledged that Ukraine did “want to have the anti-missile systems, as they call the Patriots, and we’re going to see if we can make some available”.

But Trump added: “They’re very hard to get. We need them. We were supplying them to Israel,” implying that supporting Israel in its war with Iran – a priority for the Republican administration – had set back its willingness to help Kyiv.

Because Trump never campaigned on being good for Palestine, you linked a liberal news site trying to shift the blame of a horribly run campaign from the DNC to muslim voters.

National Public Radio reporting election statistics is liberal news. Nice to know who I'm arguing with.

NPR is liberal, as is Fox News. Liberalism is the ideological superstructure of capitalism. Fox News are conservative liberals.

So election statistics and the fact that Trump was endorsed by Muslim leaders are irrelevant because of who reported it? If Jacobin doesn't cover a news story it didn't happen?

More muslim leaders supported Jill Stein and Claudia De La Crúz, or called for a general boycott of the election. You're magnifying an ultimately small part of the election with the purpose of shifting the blame for Harris' loss to muslims, and not on the genocidal liberal DNC.

I already quoted the npr article that said Trump got more Muslim votes than any other candidate.

purpose of shifting the blame for Harris

I started this because of everyone defending Trump.

Nobody is defending Trump, and your article did not mention how many people sat out that would have voted, nor the people that voted for Stein and De La Crúz. You're dishonest, and running defense for a genocidal liberal.

This entire argument is that it was inevitable rather than a direct result of Trump's actions.

That's defending Trump. Trump tore up the Iran non proliferation deal.

What's next? "It was inevitable that illegal ICE raids would happen. Biden would have been the same as Trump. Biden would have ended DEI."

Are you saying directly committing genocide is an inevitablity? Where's the accountability for the DNC?
