    Not sure what you tried to link to, but this is a live page continually changing stories. Right now it’s about the reflecting pool damage which is not World news.

    I’d advise re-submitting a link that is not changing dynamically.

    How does he envisage surface-to-air missiles being used against him by current allies? Defending Greenland from a US invasion?

      We know the US basically depleted their stockpile in the war with Iran.
      This is a promise the US made to Ukraine after that to allow them to manufacture the missiles domestically, which Trump is now seemingly reneging on.

    I thought this was a done deal already. Sounds like they are walking the licensing deal back? Fuck Trump and everyone involved. It’s unconscionable. Civilians are dying daily in Ukrainian cities.

      This is Donald Trump we’re talking about. Things that may be true one day are completely bogus the next and everyone who mentions it is a despicable person for even bringing it up. This man doesn’t know what keeping your word even means. He thinks following through with something because you promised it is a sign of weakness, because why wouldn’t you double-cross somebody and change the rules after the game is over if you’re going to get a better deal out of it?

      The real art of the deal is that there is no deal until he decides that there is one. When that happens, the deal springs instantly into existence under whatever terms he wants (strongly/powerfully/etc.) and you are immediately in breach.

    When the US fights China they will wish to have Ukraine enhanced Patriot missiles. Like drones are quickly improving in Ukraine, the missiles would get better fast, too.

        I think it’s the opposite. Trump’s madness is a distraction while the USA are systematically preparing their war with China.

          The USA are preparing to copy China - cracking down on free speech, free press, dissent, etc. They’re befriending all of China’s allies while attacking all of China’s enemies, including NATO.

            befriending all of China’s allies

            Which makes sense.

            attacking all of China’s enemies

            Who? Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Russia are Chinese allies or neutral.

            including NATO.

            They don’t. They are pushing Nato to get ready for the war.

            How about the rest of the world sanctions America and Israel out of existence and we can have a century of peace? Balkanize the states and let them fucking figure it out themselves.

          They’re preparing for war by using all of their missiles?

          …

          Nevermind, that’s exactly the kind of moronic move this administration would make.

    Just to clarify: the issue doesn’t concern the delivery of Patriot missiles but rather a deal to license Ukrainian and European firms to manufacture the missile themselves.

    During the ongoing war between the US and Iran, the US depleted its stockpiles of Patriot missiles to dangerous levels, forcing it to resupply the US military and leaving it unable to supply their European allies.

    Realistically it might take up to two years to set up a manufacturing base in Ukraine, but now that Trump has once again backtracked on his earlier deal, Ukraine (as well as NATO and US allies in the Pacific) will be forced to seek alternatives.

      Most certianly. Look at his responce when asked about Zelensky’s allegation that Russia is helping Iran with targeting.

      “We’ll find out if that’s true,” Trump said. “I’ll ask Putin about it. We’ll find out.”

      Now by itself that’s not a big suprise, but this news is from 7-27-2026. Here is a different quote from trump just 4 months prior 3-13-2026

      President Donald Trump on Friday said he believed that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is helping Iran in its war against the United States and Israel.

      Trump’s comment came in a radio interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, and a week after the president lashed out at Fox News reporter Peter Doocy for asking him at the White House about reports that Russia was aiding Iran.

      Kilmeade asked Trump on Friday, “You think Putin is helping them?”

      Trump replied, “I think he might be helping them a bit, yeah.”

      “I guess, and he probably thinks we’re helping Ukraine, right?” Trump continued.

    It IS a big step.

    Not like launching an unprovoked war of choice with no goal or plan against an adversary over whom you basically have no leverage just because you don’t like the last guy who negotiated with them.

    We don’t have any to spare because Iran has figured out how to overwhelm them.

    I read the other day that our remaining stock of Patriots is so low that when US bases have missiles incoming, they essentially have to triage which ones they try to shoot down; if they don’t think there are troops or personnel where the missile is going, they just let it hit.

    Edit: … And that’s pay walled, apologies. It’s referenced here as well: https://theintercept.com/2026/07/28/iran-missiles-drones-us-air-defenses/

      Yeah, they use a flying lawnmower. This is something I’ve said many times on this platform which nobody seems to grasp.

      If the missile you fire is worth ten times what it’s intercepting, that’s a problem for you, because your enemy can just keep firing cheap shit until you run out of missiles.

      Even a successful intercept is a win for them, because you’re down a million dollars, and they’re down 60 grand.

        Money is funny.

        When Russia invaded Ukraine and their tractor factories retooled to make tanks, their GDP dropped tenfold. Because a tractor is worth ten times as much as a tank.

        But the people who put their boots on and go to work and weld metal shit…continued to put their boots on and go to work and weld metal shit.

                There’s a couple Ohio senators that represent one of the few places that welds military-grade armor in the US that would strongly disagree with that assessment.

                There’s a reason the army gets more tanks than they know what to do with, and part of that reason is maintaining expertise that takes decades to develop.
