    Yup, he just sent them at least 14,000 of them before doing that. More than all other bombs combined according to leaks. 2000 pounds bombs were in use in September in Lebanon.

      Well obviously the US was sending them before that or it wouldn’t be called a pause/hold.

      The point is Biden put the hold on and trump resumed sending them, as opposed to the poster’s claim.

        And they clearly never ran out of 2,000lb bombs to use. They just happened to need some more now.

          I see, they “just happened to need some more” right after trump took office.

            Biden sent $8 billion in weapons immediately before he left office and Trump reversed the pause on 2,000lb bombs and sent $1 billion immediately after taking office

            You clearly don’t care about whether or not 2,000lb bombs were available and in use. You just care about whether a performative gesture was made.
