• Ukraine is able to fire just 2,000 shells a day, its defense minister said.
  • That’s about a third of what Russia is firing, Rustem Umerov added.
  • In a letter seen by Bloomberg, Umerov urged his EU counterparts to fulfill their ammo commitments.

        Supporting Ukraine is far more important than supporting Israel IMHO. Israel needs no support. The civilians of Gaza are the people needing support in that conflict.

          I do agree. But it is not just being evil or believing in biblical myths that makes the US support Israel unconditionally. As much as I hate it, Israel serves a strategic interest to the US and is seen as an asset in the region rather than a liability but that’s changing. Of course nothing justifies a genocide but for the US, it can’t risk Israel falling, it needs it to control the oil exports and international trade that passes through the region.

            it needs it to control the oil exports and international trade that passes through the region.

            Does it?

            It wants to control it, but it’s megalomaniacal to NEED to control it. The US does not govern the world. Israel could fall, and the world would live on. Trade would continue. Oil would still be sold.
