The United States has transferred American munitions stored in Israel for use in Ukraine and plans to send more soon, US and Israeli officials told CNN Wednesday.
A US official told CNN they have moved “some” of the 300,000 155-millimeter shells that the US and Israel agreed would be transferred, and that there are plans to move the remaining amount in the coming weeks.
Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Richard Hecht told CNN that the Americans notified the Israelis a while ago they were transferring munitions. Hecht said the munitions are US-owned, that their movements are “American business” and that they don’t need Israeli permission to move the munitions.
“In support of security assistance packages to Ukraine via the Presidential Drawdown Authority, the DOD has been able to transfer materiel and equipment while maintaining military readiness. Due to operational security considerations, we will not discuss the location or units providing the equipment or materiel,” Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said in a statement. “As we provide aid to Ukraine, we are also working to replenish US inventories and backfill depleted stocks of allies and partners.”

The biden criminal regime is ACTIVELY working with Satan to destroy ANY human connection to God.
PROVE ME WRONG !
Why are we even storing our munitions in Israel?
EVIL.
CNN reported this on Jan 23 ...
Almost like there have been longstanding plans to defund Israel and weaken us all.
Is there a Christian, straight man left in the Biden puppet administration, anywhere?
Classic case of a Superpower committing suicide. In this case, the superpower gets obsessed with the hopeless process of trying to take down a large country (Russia) due to a blood feud that a couple of highly-placed women (Nuland and Freeland) have with them. In the process, they destroy decades of prior work which made the country a superpower, in this case by leaving allies vulnerable to attack.
Our 155 shells were well used to weaken the Russian threat and relieve Russian pressure if we have to fight China.
GAO-”The military services keep everything from rations to tanks at strategic locations around the world. Positioning supplies in advance can allow action without waiting for cargo to arrive.”
Document: GAO Report on Pentagon Prepositioned Stocks
“DOD positions billions of dollars worth of assets–including combat vehicles, rations, medical supplies, and repair parts—at strategic locations around the world to use during early phases of operations. Each of the military services maintains its own prepositioned stock program.”

Hmmm, the production rate until recently was about 15,000/month. That implies the US stored 20 months of production in Israel.
I don’t see any “Russian threat.” Nor do I see a need to fight China.
Kool-aid.
Disinformation -
The US maintains stockpiles in many places around the globe. It is quite logical - for it would be impractical to transport hundreds of thousands of rounds of artillery shells and such at the drop of a hat.
Israel is one such nation where we maintain major stores.
These munitions did not belong to Israel. They were US Stockpiles.
Joe Biden is a traitor who helped create this mess (Gaza/Palestinians/Hamas). But blaming this on arming Ukraine (with US stockpiles) is a red herring.
sorry Israel, you got UKRAINED!
That’s nice, thanks for sharing.
No, Russia and Red China exist, and they are the primary reason for our national defense.
Then destroy them if they attack us.
Fixed the typos for you. We all knew what you meant.
“””Then destroy them if they attack us.”””
Meanwhile, back here on planet Earth, we ask you how, and do you see how their global dominance could be a problem before they land on our shores, and do you see how retreating from them in the world for a decade or two could result in them not having to invade us, but merely take us over or control us?
Iran has their own Manchurian Candidate Beijing Biden , and the Ventriloquist (Obama) is doing the taking.
