      More plausibly, US has now run through its stocks of weapons sending them to Ukraine, and doesn’t have the weapons to send. Framing it as refusing to send the weapons because US all of a sudden developed a conscience is a way to avoid admitting this.

        That is the most wildly implausible thing I’ve read on Lemmy today.

          Western media openly admits that US isn’t able to keep up with ammunition production for Ukraine. Try keep up with the real world.

            Yes, but that only applies to artillery shells and there’s a very good reason.

            Try keep up with the real world.

            I do, which is why I know that things like JDAMS are entirely unconstrained. The U.S. has hundreds of thousands of them lying around.

      “Why won’t he do anything to stop the bombing?”

      stops bomb shipment

      “Dumb dumb didn’t know bombs are for bombing? Yeah right!”

      Like what even is your comment trying to say?

          Ok so he should just let these through? And why are you responding as if anyone acted like the intended use of these bombs is a revelation?

          No one here is saying this absolves him/us of the US’s role in Israel’s horrific actions. But there are protests happening, people are saying this needs to stop, and a shipment of bombs just stopped. That happened, and it’s worth noting. So we need to keep up the pressure to get this to stop entirely.

          We both know he’s not going to just unilaterally end this horror show today.

        That this is at best a PR stunt and at worst an outright lie. This one shipment isn’t going to do anything to curtail Israel’s behavior and the shipment will eventually be delivered anyway.
