Pentagon considers diverting Ukraine military aid to the Middle East

The Pentagon is considering whether to divert weapons intended for Ukraine to the Middle East as the war in Iran depletes some of the U.S. military’s most critical munitions, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Although a final decision to redirect the equipment has not yet been made, the shift would highlight the growing trade-offs required to sustain the U.S. war against Iran, where U.S. Central Command has hit more than 9,000 targets in just under four weeks of fighting.

The weapons that could be diverted away from Ukraine include air defense interceptor missiles, ordered through a NATO program launched last year in which partner countries buy U.S. arms for Kyiv, the three people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe the Pentagon’s sensitive deliberations.

"Aid" here means business, because since tramp got in Ukraine gets nothing free from the US. Europe buys and gives Ukraine. So he can stop shitting on others for not wanting to get into his stupid wars.

PS: and I'm not even sure here if these weapons being diverted were already paid upfront.
