European officials fear that Trump’s escalating war against Iran could sideline Ukraine and strain vital weapons supplies. As U.S. and Israeli strikes intensify, Pentagon resources and political attention are shifting to the Middle East, raising concerns that efforts to push Vladimir Putin toward peace may stall. More urgently, heavy U.S. use of advanced munitions — including PAC-3 interceptors for Patriot systems — risks depleting stockpiles Ukraine depends on to repel daily Russian missile and drone attacks.

While Trump says he remains committed to brokering a deal, talks involving Kiev and Moscow face delays amid regional instability. European governments, already lacking sufficient air defenses, worry Washington may prioritize replenishing its own arsenals over supplying allies.

Politico and the Europeans are probably right to be concerned. We will find out soon enough.

In the meantime, Trump posted this:

The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better – As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be fought “forever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!). At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries. Sleepy Joe Biden spent all of his time, and our Country’s money, GIVING everything to P.T. Barnum (Zelenskyy!) of Ukraine – Hundreds of Billions of Dollars worth – And, while he gave so much of the super high end away (FREE!), he didn’t bother to replace it. Fortunately, I rebuilt the military in my first term, and continue to do so. The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

What a clown!
