    The NGOs point out that between October 2023 and July 2024 the US transferred at least 14,000 MK-84s and 8,700 MK-82s to Israel. In May 2024 Biden paused the shipment of some larger bombs, but these restrictions were lifted by Donald Trump as soon as he entered office.

    One of the functions of the Palestinian Genocide and the conflict with Iran is/was to deplete weapons stockpiles both to make more money for military industrial companies but also to make it easier to make up reasons we cannot help Ukraine more.

    The amount of bombs dropped on Gaza is horrifying.

    The flip side of the coin: apparently, Poland has leverage on the US because the US doesn’t independently produce sufficient quantities of TNT.

    I hope Poland considers using this leverage “to help the Trump administration make smarter decisions”.
