Israel will eventually run out of their military arsenal

Will the democrats say no to refunding them and/or place restrictions on how it could be used?

When will Israel be asking for more? Will it happen before or after we are in charge of the house and senate at midterms?

There will be some interesting decisions to be made over the next few weeks due to the domino geopolitical effects.

This attack is poorly planned, to no one's surprise. The US has limited war materiel and may need those precious supplies elsewhere at any time.

That has mostly been provided to Ukraine

It also isn't true that their arsenal is "just the US arsenal". They develop and produce many of their own systems.

But don't get your hopes up that something there will change. Obama was the one who made the deal and the most recent votes on the topic were last month... and they passed overwhelmingly.

It was 341-79 for the overall package - and when Marjorie Taylor Green tried to block $500M in missile defense aid specifically - it was voted down 422-6

"I have many jobs as leader.. and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs. I will continue to fight for it.

We delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, under my leadership than ever, ever before.

We will keep doing that."
