The Pentagon plans to send Israel tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells that had been designated for Ukraine from U.S. emergency stocks several months ago, three Israeli officials with knowledge of the situation tell Axios.
Why it matters: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli ministry of defense told their U.S. counterparts they urgently need artillery shells to prepare for a ground invasion in Gaza — and a potential escalation of the war by Hezbollah along the Israel-Lebanon border, Israeli officials say.
U.S. officials have suggested that diverting the shells from Ukraine to Israel would have no immediate impact on Ukraine's ability to fight against Russian troops.
But it's unclear whether U.S. military supplies to Ukraine could be stretched if the Israel-Hamas war becomes a broader regional conflict.

The U.S. is third in the pecking order.
that’s right.
First good thing to come out of the hamas atrocity.
Let me be perfectly clear
My preferred gop nominee is Desantis (Haley is up there also ) no hesitation with Desantis
But if it had to come down between trump or Biden or trump vs any other Democrat I would 100% pick trump
Do I appreciate what Biden is doing in its support for Israel? You bet I do
This world is going to hell and there will be a world war with nuclear weapons and it won’t be started by USA.
Diem was actually quite a respectable person. A devout Catholic, constantly sought peace with the North even to his detriment, came from an elite family lineage of scholars, had skin in the game as he rose through Vietnamese government since the 1920s, was recognized by all as a true nationalist and didn’t want any foreign power controlling Vietnam whether French, Japanese, Chinese or American, and was not corrupt.
He also never appeared on stage naked to play piano with his penis
By those standards, when Zelensky’s handlers get tired of him, he can expect to be fed feet-first into a wood-chipper.
The 155’s at Ft Lewis used to shake our house significantly
I would hate to be on the receiving end of those
What on earth are you talking about? Biden is supporting both sides of this war. He’s funding both Iran and The Palestinians. Who knows what additional help Iran and Hamas are getting from America.
Yours is the best post on this topic. By far.
A month ago we were told the only 155 we had left was cluster bomb 155mm. Good Lord, are you telling me we are arming the Israelis with cluster bombs to be used in Gaza City?
Good
Someone needs to check on the quality of what’s being sent. Just saying.

Depending on the year that might have been me making the noise.
Blinken and Biden are alrady withholding weapons from Israel because of the “possible” Gaza ground operations. It is this type of Moral Equalivancy Shtick that will force Israel to accused of “possilbe use of nuclear weapons” in order to further disarm the Jewish State.
We never hear the Democrats doing this crap to S. Korea or Taiwan for having nukes. They long ago destroyed S. Africa.
Ukraine still has ATACMS and HIMARS
they’re grinding up Russian forces pretty good -

Thanks, MeganC. I wish I was wrong though.
I've never seen one of those and I understand they're no longer in use but he told me when those rounds impacted even miles from his location he said you could feel the earth shake.
His battery once annihilated an entire battalion of NVA regulars. Said he caught them in a draw between two hills and just wiped them out in a matter of minutes.
