Statement by Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell on Ukraine Military Aid
U.S. Department of Defense ^ | 7/7/2025 | Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell

Posted on 07/07/2025 7:49:15 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

At President Trump's direction, the Department of Defense is sending additional defensive weapons to Ukraine to ensure the Ukrainians can defend themselves while we work to secure a lasting peace and ensure the killing stops. Our framework for POTUS to evaluate military shipments across the globe remains in effect and is integral to our America First defense priorities.

Your side said that about bombing Iran, too.

FTA-——“We’re going to send Ukraine some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now,” Trump told reporters during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.


Having it both ways is nice.


Democrats panic; there’s no accurate polling of Jewish voters
because there are too few Jews in the country
World Israel News ^ | 5/24/24 | Daniel Greenfield

After tossing Jewish voters overboard to accommodate the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan, the Democrats are starting to get nervous about the choice they made.

Despite the rollout of the campaign, beginning with Senator Schumer’s floor speech blasting Israel, and various liberal Jewish surrogates, including Rep. Jerry Nadler, vocally opposing the campaign against Hamas, the Democrats did not manage to sell Jews on Biden’s betrayal.

Biden’s declaration that he would stop providing military support to Israel if it continued to pursue Hamas into Rafah touched off a major backlash from donors, like Haim Saban, from celebrities, like Michael Rappaport, who has said he could vote for Trump, and ordinary Jews.

While there’s no accurate polling of Jewish voters because there are too few Jews in much of the country to be captured by conventional polls and polls specifically surveying Jews are usually run by leftist groups, Democrats have suddenly begun to sweat the Jewish vote.

Approximately 1.8 million Jewish adults, just under one-third
of the total Jewish electorate, live in twenty-five congressional districts.


National Profile of the Jewish Electorate, May 2020

Of the top twenty-five districts by Jewish population, nearly half are in New York — NY10, NY-3, NY-12, NY-17, NY4, NY-9, NY-6, NY-8, and NY11.

The remaining districts with Jewish populations are found in seven states including Florida, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. FL-21 has the greatest number of Jewish adults at 152,000.

With the exception of NJ-4, these districts are represented by Democrats and all but two (NJ-4 and NJ-5) are Democratic-leaning districts.


US Jews contribute half of all donations to the Democratic Party
The Jerusalem Post ^ | Updated: JANUARY 14, 2018 10:55 | JEREMY SHARON

A new study argues that the large majority of American Jews have a deep-seated notion that being Jewish is inextricably bound to being liberal.

That idea took hold after the large waves of Jewish immigration to the US in the late 19th century, according to the study’s author, American history professor Gil Troy.

American Jewish liberalism and association with the Democratic party is showing no signs of abatement, despite many predictions to the contrary since Ronald Reagan’s presidency, according to Troy’s research, which is being published by the Ruderman Family Foundation’s Program for American Jewish Studies at the University of Haifa.

This looks like a non event. If Trump wished to be overtly pointed towards Ukraine victory, he would say so. He never seems to say that. It’s always America First and in this case some defensive weapons (which may or may not actually work).

There is a more important story out this evening. It’s the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi speaking at a press conference with the EU’s foreign minister. The quotes I think are suspect, but there was indeed a press conference — like so:

Beijing does not wish to see a Russian loss in Ukraine because it is presumed the US would then focus entirely on the Pacific. Wang then went on saying that China has consistently made clear it is not providing material, military or financial support to Russia and “that this should be obvious in that were it true the entire war would be long since over.”

I think this is all suspect, though there was a press conference and there was clear anger on the part of Kollas. The quotes refer to the Chinese FM as Yi, not Wang. Chinese surnames are first. The point is I suppose powerful. Pretty big army to send if they were doing so.

Shrug.

“Trump would like to end the killing, but in terms U.S. strategic interests Trump’s only goal is to prevent Putin from making any further inroads into Ukraine.”

Exactly what real interests does the US have in Ukraine?

Don’t show your stupid.

I supported the Iran bombing long before it occurred.

I guess President Trump finally realized that without the threat of weapons to Ukraine, he had zero influence over Putin. The good relationship he thought they they wasn’t worth a bucket of warm spit.

This is a major error by POTUS and it will cost him politically.

Eh, it could cost him politically only among those who would still vote for him even if he shot somebody on 5th Avenue. Politically, it's a plus.

Of course, who would vote for him now is irrelevant anyway because he already won election and can't run again.

Relationships with our leech nation "allies" are all one way.

Except for the fact that the only time Article V was ever invoked was when the United States was attacked on 9/11, and allies came to our aid. Some of who died fighting alongside us in Afghanistan.

Last I looked Lughansk was liberated, and Donetsk 90 percent…Vlad’s goals stated from day one are being met, the Russian Donbass will remain Russian….
As will Crimea.

Vlad laid out his goals on day one, the West had none except to war with Russia.

They are known to sell weapons given them to Isis. But with Trump on duty, I don’t think even Z is stupid enough to do that.

The U.S. has a strategic interest in containing Russian expansionism.

If those were his goals he’d be looking for a ceasefire. His goal is the occupation of Ukraine, or at least the installation of a puppet government.

Yes, that's exactly right. You're funny. Like a clown. And clowns are creepy and stupid.

Quoting some ridiculous mafia movie just makes you more creepy and stupid.

Stick it.

“Your mom hiding your Special Ukraine Sock was a low-class move and monumentally stupid.”
______________________________________________________________

They’re abusing their Special Ukraine Socks all over FR tonight. At this rate, they’re going to need the big family packs.

They’re breathlessly squealing into their diaries and pillows about how this war is going to last at last another year and we’re going to keep funding it, even though neither Trump nor the DoD has indicated any such thing.

The stupidity on display by the resident Democrats is mind-boggling. They’d be funny, but they’re so *loud.* And the Ukrainian accents make them sound like they’re honking. 😂
