Stalemate in Ukraine has been broken by Russia’s readiness to throw everything it has at the war.
Not long ago, the situation [...] could have been characterised as stalemate. Today, the situation for the defenders is worse, ... Russian troops are steadily advancing, and [..]they might be able to break through."
Israel's defense against yesterday's Iranian missile and drone attack is estimated to have cost more than $1.3 billion in aircraft fuel, surface-to-air missile interceptors and air-to-air missiles.
The cost of an Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile alone is estimated at $5-20 million.
PS. I'm sure Netanyahu's sugar daddy #GenocideJoe will send Israel twice that and more.

The United States does not provide Ukraine with capabilities to conduct strikes outside its territory, focusing instead on ensuring that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have everything they need to defend and protect their own country.
According to The Washington Post, the #Biden administration will authorize the transfer of 2,000-pound bombs and other weapons to Israel despite a growing divide with the Israeli government.
The new arms packages will include over 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, as reported by #Pentagon and State Department officials.
The 2,000-pound bombs have been associated with Israeli massacres of targeting and destroying civilian blocks in #Gaza, killing thousands of Palestinian women and children. The State Department has also approved the transfer of 25 F-35A fighter jets and engines, valued at approximately $2.5 billion, according to U.S. officials.
