The Pentagon has halted shipments of critical US Patriot air defence systems and other precision weapons to Ukraine after concern that US stockpiles are running too low, prompting alarm in Kyiv.
At the end of last week’s Nato summit, Donald Trump hinted that supplies of Patriot missile interceptors were running down because some had been supplied to Israel, though he suggested he would like to help Kyiv.
After a meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the US president acknowledged that Ukraine did “want to have the anti-missile systems, as they call the Patriots, and we’re going to see if we can make some available”.
But Trump added: “They’re very hard to get. We need them. We were supplying them to Israel,” implying that supporting Israel in its war with Iran – a priority for the Republican administration – had set back its willingness to help Kyiv.
You mean she could have been an entirely different person? She supported Israel. To say otherwise would have been a lie.
Trump said he supported Palestinians and got Muslim votes in key states.
She could have run an entirely different campaign, one appealing to workers, but she didn’t. Trump also said he supported Israel. Your point is veering on “muslims are too stupid to realize Trump is a Zionist too,” which is horrible. Reconsider the options and see how Mamdani is doing very well, the US wants candidates to the left of the DNC, and the DNC won’t do it because they’d rather lose.
That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she didn’t lie. You wanted her to be someone else. That’s valid. But she didn’t lie about her position on Israel.
Trump lied about Palestinians. I provided proof that it was believed and his lies influenced the election.
No, you provided evidence of a minor swing and a testemonial from one person. This wasn’t 4D chess.
I provided proof of one lie having an influence. It wasn’t one person’s testimonial.
"This year, President-elect Donald Trump received the most support out of any presidential candidate, with 42% of the vote in Dearborn. "
Muslims don’t only live in Dearborn.
How is lying to win an election 4d chess?
Deerborn isn’t entirely Muslim, either, many sat out of the election, and people still voted for Trump last election cycle in Deerborn.
Do you believe if Harris promised to support Palestine and immediately bring peace, she would have won the election?
That would have helped, sure, but it would have had to be genuine. The real reason Harris lost is because she ran a right-wing campaign when the working class has been increasingly radicalized.
Why does it matter that Harris had to be genuine but it’s ok for Trump to lie to get those votes?
