🇺🇸❌🇺🇦 The Pentagon has halted shipments of some air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine due to worries that U.S. weapons stockpiles have fallen too low.

The decision was driven by the Pentagon’s policy chief, Elbridge Colby, and was made after a review of Pentagon munitions stockpiles, leading to concerns that the total number of artillery rounds, air defense missiles and precision munitions was sinking, according to three people familiar with the issue.

Colby halted shipments of artillery rounds, interceptors and precision munitions to Ukraine, the absence of which will soon be felt at the rate Russia launches drones upon Ukrainian cities.

📝: When Israel burns through 20% of the THAAD interceptor stockpile, the Pentagon keeps the delivery of weapons uninterrupted. In fact, they are floating the idea of bombing the Houthis in Yemen again because they keep throwing missiles at Israel.

🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸The US was genuinely afraid of a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, since Iran had loaded sea mines onto ships in the Persian Gulf after the first Israeli missile strike on June 13, Reuters reported, citing sources.

A blockade of one of the world's most important shipping routes could have dealt a significant blow to global trade and increased energy prices, since about 20% of all global oil and gas supplies pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Although the US admits that this was simply a trick by Iran.

🇫🇷 French president, Emmanuel Macron, slams EU countries for not buying European and giving contracts to American and South Korean defense companies!

However, Macron has an ulterior motive: France has had a budget deficit of between 6-7% constantly for the past 5 years and it is struggling to cut state spending and at the same time, increase taxes enough as to not cause civil unrest or another motion of no-confidence which would topple Macron's fragile coalition and the Bayrou cabinet.

The French PM, François Bayrou, is hoping to end the year with a 5.4% deficit and that by 2029, France will have a budget deficit of under 3% as per EU regulations.

Buying from French defense companies would bring much needed funds to Macron's administration. Instead of deporting the millions of third world migrants France houses and gives welfare to, Emmanuel Macron would rather extract wealth from other European countries than fix the financial black holes of his country.
