Quote: "We have major problems with Shaheds, we’re fighting them and of course will find tools to destroy them. But we had found something and decided – I think it was under the previous administration, it was defence secretary Austin. We settled on a project and we were counting on it.
20,000 missiles to fight Shaheds. It wasn’t expensive, but it was a special technology. We were counting on those 20,000 missiles. This morning, my defence minister told me that the United States has transferred them to the Middle East."
On 5 June, The Wall Street Journal reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump had decided to redirect special fuses for ground-based rockets used by Ukraine to shoot down Russian drones to US Air Force units in the Middle East. These fuses are considered a key component in countering Russian UAVs.
The WSJ said that the Pentagon privately informed Congress last week that these fuses are now being transferred to US Air Force units in the Middle East.

Not sure where the other two branches of government went? I’m sure we are still paying them, yet Trump and his executive branch minions seem to be exclusively controlling everything at the federal level. Almost like the King that the founders absolutely never wanted to see here. Not a check or balance in sight.
About time the judicial and legislative branches do something, even if it’s only to finish up at the trough, resign and allow someone else in to actually do the job they were elected to do.
Since they obviously don’t have the capacity, let me say that I’m ashamed for them.
