The United States has reached out to us regarding their bases in Middle Eastern countries. We’ve also been approached by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait.
We’re already working with some of them, and our expert teams are already on the ground, assessing the situation and sharing invaluable experience. Because no matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air defense systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defense. There are modern interceptors designed to counter heavy drone strikes.
Now, we are discussing future deliveries of certain equipment that Ukraine has. We want Middle Eastern countries to give us the opportunity to strengthen ourselves as well. They have some air defense missiles that we lack. We would like to reach agreements on this.
Funding is the scarcest resource today. Our defense industry is currently operating at half capacity, and we need more financing to produce drones for ourselves. That’s why we are ready to sell to our partners the systems we have in surplus. And we’re not just selling – we’ll provide our expertise as well. Interceptor drones don’t work without our expertise. It’s the system that works.
From an interview with Le Monde (1/5).
Stephen A Smith says the Jordan incident that’s going viral is a non story:
“In the process of holding people accountable it should be based on facts, not feelings. It should be based on what we know, not what we think. Unfortunately the time we’re living in that’s not necessarily the case. One could say we should stop acting like a viral moment is a verdict. When we should know better. A lot of people are willing to convict one another in the court of public opinion. Call it algorithm amplification, call it people jumping to conclusions because it’s profitable for them to do so. You should be very hesitant to impute the integrity of certain people. Who are as accomplished as much as MJ. Today is his 63rd birthday. Just won the Daytona 500. Playing around with a kid while his father was standing right there, and that’s the kind of conclusion we jump too? You can understand in this day and age how some people take this. I saw the video, it’s a non story in my opinion”

@SusanMehHunter@kayleighmcenany We emphatically do not respect AOC. All your Dimwits belong in a Circus to perform in front of your type of mentally ill and confused sheep.
@kayleighmcenany Remeber the Albania-Azerbaijan war he claimed to have stopped? Noone does, as it never existed. The world respects AOC and Newsom. We emphatically do not respect Trump.
🚨 Try as they may, neither AOC nor Newsom have the intestinal fortitude of President Trump.
President Trump will be known as the greatest foreign policy President of our time. ⬇️
