First 20,000 missiles, now anti-drone systems… it’s strange that NATO countries expect the US to protect them. If Trump betrayed Ukraine, he will betray all of Europe.


The Pentagon notified Congress last week that it will be diverting critical anti-drone technology that had been allocated for Ukraine to US Air Force units in the Middle East, according to correspondence obtained by CNN and people familiar with the matter.

The move reflects the US’ shifting defense priorities under President Donald Trump – toward the Middle East and the Pacific – and the fact that US stockpiles of some defense components are becoming increasingly stretched.

The technology, proximity fuzes for the rockets Ukraine uses to shoot down Russian drones, was redirected from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) to Air Force Central Command on orders from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to the correspondence dated May 29 and sent to the Senate and House Armed Services committees.

    I wish you are right but I learned from russians that their words must be accepted seriously and literally. And Trump mentality is similar to russian mentality whats why russians adore him (Trump in russia is more popular than Putin). So I do think that Trump will do what he promiced. I do not know what exact scenario they plan - but I am sure they want to justify their withdrawal somehow like they justify stop of financing and sending weapon to Ukraine. And EU believe me, they are not so stupid to understand what is going on… They have perfect intelligence and know much more than we.
