The Pentagon review determined that stocks had become too low on some previously pledged munitions, and that some pending shipments now would not be sent, said a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity, according to Politico, which first reported the halt of military aid.

'The strength of the United States Armed Forces remains unquestioned - just ask Iran,' Kelly said, making a reference to the recent US bombings and missile strikes against the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities.

The United States will halt some key weapons shipments to Ukraine that were promised under the Biden administration in a devastating blow to Kyiv.😀

Tehran, then, may see Russia not so much as a great power but as another proxy, whose willingness to fight against a common enemy benefits Iran but allows it to avoid the costs of fighting that common enemy itself. Ukraine, of course, does not pose a threat to Iran. But to the extent that the United States and other Western countries devote attention and resources to supporting Ukraine, then they have less of these available for dealing with Iran.

Indeed, Tehran’s one great worry might be that Russia will lose its war with Ukraine, thus allowing the United States and its Western allies (as Tehran might fear) to concentrate on Iran

What kind of imbecile would believe that?

Russia is one of the great military powers in the world and has more natural resources than any nation on earth.

Iran isn't anywhere near being a peer country to Russia.

You're delusional.

The bullsh$t you spew here is as ridiculous as the kind Marcus Maximus is spewing.

The war in Ukraine has been a proxy war between NATO and Russia, one is Russia is winning.

“one is Russia is winning.”

I heard in February 2023 that Z had fled the country and Russia was taking control of Kiev.

Russia has drained their pension fund to pay for Putin’s two-week week war.

That is gone. The gravy train has ended. Putin and his oligarchs will have to be satisfied with the hundreds of billions they have stolen and realize reduced skimming from here on out.

Why do you call truth ridiculous? Because you hate the truth and don’t want it posted!

There is nothing truthful about what you're posting.

The propaganda you're posting is absurd.

Ukraine has lost the war. It's not getting an inch of ground back.

Do you want to bet otherwise?

Ukraine has been losing territory for two years. Now, that we've been forced to cutback arms supply to Ukraine, things are going to get worse for Ukraine and it will start losing territory faster.

You're retarded if you believed that.

Russia was going to take a city of three million with 40,000 troops?

You're not very bright.

The idea that Russia thought it could accomplish its military goals is two weeks is lunacy.

The Russians most certainly did not believe that.

They were hoping to negotiate an end the war quickly. And, almost did until Boris Johnson stepped in and killed peace deal in March of 2022. And, the end result of that is well over million dead Ukrainians and Russia building a land bridge from Crimea to mainland Russia.

You're spouting off nonsense.
