Phillips OBrien: "Even though Trump caved in to great pressure over Starlink/Starshield, it doesn’t change the basic fact that the US is more and more an open ally of Russia. The US is still refusing to deliver purchased Patriot missiles, buying Russian diesel, has neutered Graham-Blumenthal, and there is more…"

Phillips OBrien: "The strategic position of the USA would’ve been immeasurably better if it had not started this ludicrous war with Iran and instead given the Patriot interceptors its wasted to Ukraine, to defend Ukr against Russia.
What the USA has done, insanely, is strengthen China and Russia."

Short on US Patriot missiles, Ukraine looks for alternatives.
Russia is putting pressure on Ukraine with ballistic missiles, but Kyiv is short of Patriot interceptors. Domestic production and European alternatives take time.
Can Kyiv realistically reduce its dependence on the US?
POLITICO Europe: "Europe is scrambling for more Patriot interceptors to donate to an increasingly desperate Ukraine, which is racing to reinforce its ballistic missile defenses before Russia’s expected winter assault."

RE: https://mas.to/@aljazeera_gotgrip/117074834373920624
Here is another example of *Dumb arse* reporting… latching on to previous reports that the US military is running out of ‘ammunition’ which is not the case. Closer to the truth, it is running out of specific missile types, in this case *Patriot* missiles (Pac3 for the Patriot ABM systems). That much we know and we know it is true because #Ukraine has run out and is being pummelled by Russian baliistic missiles. The US is not running out of bullets (5.56) or rockets (rolling airframe 90mm ammo for airborne pods and naval batteries) or even 155mm artillery shells, etc… And there is a very good reason for that. It’s not about money but about *What* and *How much* to stockpile for *How long*.
Consider advances in technology that will make a missile obsolete overnight because the adversary has developed a *Counter*, or because the manufacturer has developed a cheaper, better, more lethal successor to a particular missile (Pac1, —> Pac2 —> Pac3 Patriot missiles). How many potentially obsolete missiles do you want to stockpile? This is also why production runs are limited in numbers, and why there is a concerted effort to produce *upgradable* missiles. Low production runs are expensive and the manufacturer will not expand its production capacity beyond near term contracts certainties.
And I’m only scratching the surface here. This is why this AJ report (Vid of some supposed expert in defence matters) is shallow, inaccurate, and lazy journalism which misleads (running out of ammo) and misdirects (it’s a budget mismanagement issue). AJ, once you’ve taken into account its biases, is a trusted news source. But even AJ makes monumental reporting errors at times.
Keep your wits about you dear readers and *question everything* you read from news outlets.

Putin is ramping up Russian ballistic missile production and clearly intends to bomb Ukraine into submission.
If he is not stopped, the Ukrainian civilian population will pay a terrible price, and Kyiv may be pushed toward capitulation, writes Mykola Bielieskov....
