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
And the millions of weapons prior to the some 3.5 thousand bombs weren’t?
So he should just go ahead and let the shipment happen…?
nobody here is suggesting this except you
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.

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.
