Pentagon Will Redirect Weapons Meant for Ukraine to the Middle East

Department of War may have to prioritize the conflict in the Middle East over the never-ending war in Ukraine

Too many wars, not enough weapons and munitions.

The military operation in Iran has started affecting supplies ‌of the US military’s critical munitions, leading the Department of War to evaluate whether to redirect weapons that were originally meant for Ukraine to ​the Middle East.

Reuters reported:

“The weapons ​that could be redirected include air defense interceptor missiles ​purchased through a NATO initiative launched last year, under ⁠which partner countries buy U.S. arms for Kyiv, the ​report said.

The consideration comes as U.S. operations in the region intensify. ​Admiral Brad Cooper, the Central Command chief leading U.S. forces in the Middle East, said on Wednesday the U.S. had hit over 10,000 ​targets inside Iran and was on track to limit Iran’s ​ability to project power outside its borders.”

The ⁠Defense Department wants to ensure that US forces in the Middle East, as well as its allies, ‘have what they need to fight and win’.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte did not answer questions regarding the Pentagon’s plans.

Euronews reported:

“Rutte said it was not his place to comment on critical support, but assured that essential military equipment ‘continues to flow’ to Ukraine, alongside military intelligence from the US.

Ukrainian officials have openly voiced concerns that Washington’s attention and resources have been more focused on the Middle East.

These fears have been echoed by the European leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron said at the end of last week’s EU summit in Brussels that the Iran war ‘must not divert our attention from the support we give Ukraine’.”

The Pentagon has notified the US Congress that it will divert about $750 million in funding to ‘restock the US military’s own inventories, rather than to send additional assistance to Ukraine’.

A CNN crew reporting on Israeli settlements in the West Bank in Palestine was detained by IDF soldiers on Friday. 

The reporters say they were put in a chokehold after they and several Palestinian residents were approached by armed troops.

According to the Jerusalem Post,

The CNN team was interviewing Palestinian residents of the West Bank town of Tayasir after settlers established an outpost in the town and violently attacked residents.

While conducting interviews on camera, IDF soldiers ordered the team and the Palestinians to stop speaking and aimed their weapons at the group, according to the CNN reporters present.

Video from the incident shows the reporters being approached and detained.

The full report from CNN features the outposts established by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and stories of the violent attacks from Palestinian residents.

The clip further shows CNN Jerusalem correspondent Jeremy Diamond speaking with IDF soldiers, one of whom tells him, “We are here because this is our place… The land is ours.” When asked if all of the West Bank belongs to Israelis, the soldier replies, “Of course, and not just for the soldiers, for the jews.”

Another soldier details the alleged murder of an 18-year-old Israeli settler by a Palestinian, saying they are exacting revenge against the residents in the West Bank.

The soldier, Meir, later tells  Diamond that while the settlement in Tayasir is not legal, “it will be… slowly.” He agrees that it will be legal thanks to the IDF and his presence, saying, “Of course … I help my people.”

“Meir is describing the settler playbook, and the role Israeli soldiers often play in propping it up,” Diamond says in his report. “The Israeli military did not respond to CNN’s questions about soldiers’ conduct in the West Bank, including our detention. Amid the war with Iran, those efforts are intensifying, with at least four outposts established this week alone, land often taken with the blood of Palestinians,” he continues.

The IDF did provide a statement to CNN, writing, “The actions and behavior of the soldiers in the incident are incompatible with what is expected of IDF soldiers operating in the Judea and Samaria area.”

White House Slams Former Obama-Appointed Federal Prosecutor for Tweeting FAKE Trump Truth Social Post About Tiger Woods

The White House slammed a former federal prosecutor for tweeting a fake Trump Truth Social post about Tiger Woods.

Golf legend Tiger Woods was involved in a major rollover car crash in Jupiter, Florida, on Friday.

Authorities said Tiger Woods, 50, took a breathalyzer test and blew “triple zeros,” which means alcohol was not a factor.

Woods then refused to submit a urine test, so he was arrested and charged with a DUI.

Tiger Woods was not injured in the crash.

President Trump told reporters on the tarmac in Miami on Friday that Tiger Woods is an amazing person.

Joyce Vance, a former US Attorney who served during the Obama Administration and TDS sufferer, fell for a fake Trump Truth Social post about Tiger Woods.

In the fake post, Trump called on Governor Ron DeSantis to pardon Tiger Woods so he can “focus on The Masters and help to Make Golf Great Again!”

“We’re at war. Air travel is a mess. There are measles outbreaks. The price of gasoline is skyrocketing. So of course, the president is focused on keeping his pal out of jail,” Joyce Vance said in the caption.

The White House slammed her for posting a fake Trump quote.

“Not a real post, idiot. Joyce was a federal prosecutor for 25 years. Imagine all the cases she tried with this type of stupidity,” White House spokesman Steven Cheung said.

“Stunning that she is this dense or she has let her Trump Derangement Syndrome warp her sense of reality,” he said.

“Either way, she is a moron,” he added.
