Fuck Israel, send them to Ukraine!
- Fuck Putin! Slava Ukraine!
- I guarantee the vast majority of Americans would prefer this.
  But the puppets we're forced to put into power only listen to those who force us, i.e. Israel.
- The assholes controlling the US have far more to gain financially by supporting Israel instead of the Ukraine.
- My first thought too. I wonder if it’s a clause specific to Israel or if it can even be applied to Ukraine? Maybe they’re testing the waters with the Israel thing, then if that goes through then they’ll do the same thing with Ukraine and anybody that opposes it is also “blocking aid to Israel”?
  
  If you read the article your questions will be answered.
The Biden administration has used an emergency authority to allow the sale of about 14,000 tank shells to Israel without congressional review...
when the review was supposedly there to prevent the exact kind of harm these tanks will do to civilians.
This had to be done. How else are you going to explode thousands of innocent children?
What the fuck does Israel need tank shells for?
- Those children and their damn rocks!!
- To kill more Reuters reporters obviously.
Pretty fucked up that this is being reported by Reuters which just had one of their journalist blown up by an Israeli tank the other day.
I thought this will only weaken Biden's appeal for the 2024 election.
Okay, I guess they rely on campaign funds from zionists in battleground states.
