The source added that the UK’s weapons stockpiles are so diminished that the UK had “nothing” left and it was better for them to lobby the Germans.
Donald Trump was the first US president to send weapons to Ukraine and every politician in the world knows this
Not an american here, but is it not the congress that allocates funds and the president only signs off on it? My understanding was that Trump tried to get a quid pro quo in order to follow it through.
Biden is currently bypassing Congress to sell weapons to Israel, so no, Congress is not solely responsible for weapons sales. Trump did withhold lethal aid from Ukraine for quid pro quo. That was after the first ever sales of weapons though. So he both made the first sales and also did the witholding of additional sales some time later.
Pretty hilarious that the imbeciles running Europe think they can just create a whole military industrial complex out of whole cloth. These are the same kind of clowns who think that food just magically appears in the supermarket. They have no concept of logistics, supply chains, energy production, or a skilled work force required for such an endeavour. This is what happens when a bunch of media people start running countries. They just think everything is like a movie, and that they can just print weapons the way they print money. 🤣
Really wish we wouldn’t because that money could be used in our country. People duying on the street from cold, malnutrition, homelessness. But we’re sending money to a country that’s doomed to fail its war effort and last year vetod a very generous peace deal that Russia proposed. Screw that.
Well unless they’ve also invented a time machine to send those weapons back to like 1992…
