Washington has not allocated new arms supplies to Kiev in months

[Swordsmyth]

Ukraine’s European sponsors lack the manufacturing capacity to replace US arms supplies to Kiev, the New York Times wrote on Saturday.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has shifted from spending billions on supporting Ukraine to focusing on domestic issues. It has also signaled to its European NATO allies that Washington has no interest in propping up the military bloc alone.

The NYT noted that the US has not announced a new arms package for Ukraine for more than 120 days. While the Pentagon still has $3.85 billion in armaments earmarked for Kiev under the previous administration, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declined to answer when asked if the arms would be sent to Ukraine, the newspaper wrote.

Kiev is running low on long-range missiles, artillery and, most of all, ballistic aid defense systems – which are mostly manufactured in the US – the NYT wrote, citing a Ukrainian official.

Was supposed to be done, but it's getting stuck.

Needs more lube. Americans are quite dry from being $#@&! so much.

Making weapons manufacturing great again. Well, it's already great... How about greatER?


You know, now that I'm thinking about it... Maybe we could eliminate our trade deficits entirely if we just stir up more conflict in the world and we can export our "products" to every other nation on the planet?

According to Sec. of State, we want to give them more, just can't make them fast enough so we're encouraging our allies to give them some.

Point is, there's no indication from the administration that we are in any way pulling our military support for Ukraine, which is what this nothingburger thread is meant to imply:
