The US president has “threatened to stop” supplying ⁠weapons for Ukraine to pressure European allies to join a “coalition of ‌the willing” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reports, ⁠quoting people briefed ⁠on the discussions.

According to the report, ⁠Trump threatened ⁠to stop ⁠supplies to NATO’s weapons procurement initiative for ‌Ukraine, which is funded by European countries.

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Al Jazeera it was “very disappointing” that NATO allies such as Spain blocked the use of their airspace and bases for the US-Israel war on Iran. He warned that Washington will re-examine the value of NATO after the war is over.

    You do realize that Ukraine has more cutting edge tech at the new way of war that the US. The EU is getting more weapons from Ukraine and they are building factories in the EU

      It’s not just that.

      Everyone and their mother knows that Iran had close networks with Russia and China. The fact that NO ONE in the West seemed to have learned anything or at least took inspiration from the Ukraine-Russian Conflict is testament to the stagnancy in the West.

          That’s not an example of them having superior cutting edge tech, which is what I asked you to provide if it was so obvious

              Don’t tell me that local admins and moderators stopped filling this instance with propaganda about how russia is good and Ukraine is bad. And also removing as much posts/comments as possible that even try to state otherwise. The only community(of which I am aware of) that sometimes tells about some news related to Ukraine is the World News community on Lemmy.ml.

              So, unless you are visiting other instances, you are not getting much info about what is happening in the Ukraine.

              P. S. If you know a community that actively posts true information about Ukraine on Lemmy.ml, I will glad to see it and reconsider some of my views.

                There is a Ukraine community, but such a black-and-white perception of how Ukraine is discussed on Lemmy.ml does tell me all I need to know.

                  I asked to show it, not to just tell about it and dissappear. Otherwise your words have no value. + prove otherwise that on Lemmy.ml you don’t have flaws that I described higher.
