      The joke is, politics aside, that the US could easily equip both of them if they wanted to. Seems like the GOP is just full of Russian puppets and straight up insane religious extremists, who apparently can easily manipulate the broken US governmental system.

        They have been breaking the system for the last couple decades. We’ve got a minority with majority power and the rest are paralyzed by fear of losing their elections

      Might be good to understand the magnitude. For instance, we sold the Israelis 4,000 artillery shells. Ukraine uses 250,000 of those shells a month when they can.

      The wildest thing I heard come out of this Gaza war is when they compared Israel being attacked by Hamas to Ukraine being invaded by Russia.

        The Russians committed the same atrocities as Hamas and has taken hostages. It’s not that far off.

          You don’t mean Russia illegally occupied parts of Ukraine, like Israel does to Palestine?

      Am I missing something Israel has never, and likely won’t ever, fly Typhoons which is the only (military) jet Germany exports. Also practically all military exports from Germany to Israel post-October have been replacement parts for subs and radars and helmets and suchlike, only two things going to the army (as opposed to industry for testing, shipped there to get worked on and re-imported etc) that are classed as war arms are training ammunition and hand-held anti-tank missiles (i.e. Panzerfaust 3). Ukraine can use them but Ukraine’s also getting them and it’d be kinda hard to deny Israel that kind of export: Kinda useless to commit genocide and they own the producing company.
