Episode notes
Weapon Priorities: US, Israel, Ukraine
- The pause in US weapon shipments to Ukraine is because weapons are prioritized for American security and Israeli use, not Ukrainian needs.
- Ukraine allowed transfer of costly Patriot missile batteries to Israel, underscoring Zionist influence in US policy.
Ukraine's Drone Warfare Tactics
- Ukraine relies on cheap drone attacks inside Russia rather than conventional heavy weapons due to a depleted arsenal.
- This tactic signals desperation and lack of leverage for the US against Russia in the war.
Israel's Deadly Gaza Policy
- Israel seemingly aims for about 100 civilian deaths daily in Gaza, committing severe war crimes largely unreported in US media.
- This deadly policy continues unabated despite ceasefires and international scrutiny.
