Does the US not have enough of their own Patriot missiles?

Stop, think for a second and ask yourself what America would do with these missiles given the current situation in eastern Europe.

Intercepting shit? It’s not like we need patriots for bombing things since we have plenty of other shit.

Ukraine....the war in Ukraine...the USA is going to load these onto a plane and send them to Ukraine....to kill or intercept russian shit.

Good?

Edit: oh I originally read the other comment as another “oh no don’t send shit to Ukraine we’re all gonna die”

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, it's a good thing.
