According to POLITICO, the halt was directed by Elbridge Colby, a China hawk who wants the US to focus on preparing for war over Taiwan.
The report said the decision was driven by Elbridge Colby, the undersecretary of defense for policy, a China hawk who wants the US to focus on building up its forces in the Asia Pacific to prepare for a conflict over Taiwan.
The halt of the shipments was ordered after a review of Pentagon munition stockpiles, which found that the number of artillery shells, air defense missiles, and precision munitions was dwindling. The US has sent Ukraine an enormous number of such weapons, and it has also been depleting air defenses supporting Israel’s wars in the Middle East.
Poster Comment:
US and Israel will take a year to replenish their stocks. Taking on China is insanity. We can't invade Yemen and win.
