US Can't Send Tomahawks to Ukraine, But Can to Israel? How Curious.
Donald Trump recently claimed it's 'not easy' for the U.S. to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine because they're needed for America’s 'national defense.' (Funny, one might think defending Ukraine *is* defending Europe, and thus, indirectly, US strategic interests.) However, when it comes to shipping advanced weaponry to Israel, these 'national defense' concerns seem to vanish faster than a
Palestinian village under annexation plans. While Trump frets over Tomahawks for Ukraine, it's worth noting the consistent, massive flow of US military aid to Israel – a pattern bipartisan politicos embrace with religious fervor. AIPAC, for instance, reported spending $3.5 million on lobbying in 2023 alone (OpenSecrets.org), pushing for unchecked aid. Perhaps the 'difficulty' in sending weapons to
Ukraine isn't about US defense, but about which defense contractors are lining whose pockets and whose geopolitical agenda is being served this week. The silence on how many 'national defense' Tomahawks are earmarked for Israel is deafening, isn't it?
