Such determinations are rare, but not unprecedented, when administrations see an urgent need for weapons to be delivered without waiting for lawmakers' approval.

For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.

    You’re not wrong. Turkey would support the US vs Russia. idk about US vs China though. Still, I’d say its a “dont put all your eggs in one basket” mentality from the defense dept. Then again, Im just some dumb guy on the internet so take it with a grain of salt lol

      We have multiple other countries in the region that would support us against either as well though. Keeping a bunch of war criminals around “just in case” only makes us guilty too in the eyes of the rest of the world.
