U.S reroutes Artillery from Ukraine to Israel Amidst Middle East Tensions

In an unexpected move, the Pentagon is diverting a sizable cache of 155mm artillery shells, originally meant for Ukraine, to Israel.

This comes as Israel intensifies its preparations for potential confrontations in the Gaza Strip and along the Israeli-Lebanese frontier.

Inside sources have revealed to Axios that these artillery shells, part of a bilateral agreement, have been stored in Israel but were being shifted to Ukraine earlier this year.

Despite concerns about the implications for Ukraine's defense, U.S. insiders have downplayed any immediate negative impact on Ukrainian forces' capabilities.

Adding another layer, Israel is rumored to be requesting $10 billion in emergency military aid from the U.S., signifying a heightened regional alertness.

U.S. officials, however, remain confident, stating that their country can adequately back both Ukraine and Israel without compromising global defense capabilities. This decision's ramifications on international dynamics remain to be seen.

So next time a hospital or church is shelled, there's a good chance that's a good old apple pie American Made US military shell being dropped.

On reflection once I posted the topic I felt it was bad taste to post a "funny" photo on the subject of weapon movements in prepreation for large scale military offenses that will kill thousands.

Would be like posting a picture of a soccerball on a story about a guy getting castrated in a barfight

Isn't it more that the House has to be functioning to approve sending arms/money?

Since this was already allocated to be sent somewhere. I'm viewing it more as "Here's this to hold you over until we deal with our own issues."

USA has unequivocally supported Israel in the past and will continue to do so
Our alliance with them is vital to our presence and operations in the region

This. When people feel disappointed, remember that the president was never not going to support them in whatever they do. They are a vital interest to us so even if they turn overtly genocidal, we will still support them

Yeah, this is something I just can't see myself getting upset over because it's just something that comes with the job of being the US president. It sucks and I don't like it, but we've become a country that will drop everything to help Israel no matter what.

Putin is absolutely loving this

He's going out on the world stage and playing "peacemaker" talking about how horrible the violence and lost of innocent life is on both sides while smirking about Ukraine

Meanwhile most of the political discorse has moved from Russia to Israel for the first time in 2 years

No.

One of the world's most powerful militaries does not need foreign aid to destroy a small enclave.

They just want everyone to know they have US support. As does the US.

Israel is pretty much as equipped as the US military is, perhaps even better so as they have their own defense and tech arms devoted to this.

The equipment support is just a signal to the rest of the world. USA still supports Israel, be advised.

Between the lines: The ammunition that had been destined for Ukraine was part of a U.S. weapons stockpile that is kept in Israel as part of an agreement between the countries.


Only U.S. military personnel have access to the weapons storage sites. But according to the agreement between the countries, Israel can use the ammunition in a war scenario in short order, with U.S. approval.

Always found it stupid that the right thinks the money and weapons sent to Ukraine and now Israel could be used to better Americans and think it is fine Republicans are pushing to cancel aid to Ukraine. Thats not how it works, as you said, the money is already budgeted or we are sending out dated equipment that are just sitting there.
