It’ll be a small miracle if Trump increase missile defense aid for Ukraine. More likely will be EU nations will try to help.

A lot of people don’t realize how low the U.S. actually is on air‑defense missiles right now. Ukraine keeps asking for more Patriots because those are the only missiles that can stop Russia’s ballistic attacks, but the U.S. burned through a huge chunk of its own supply last year.
Before the Iran attacks, the U.S. had a couple thousand Patriot missiles in storage. During those big missile waves from Iran, the U.S. ended up firing over **1,000** of them. That’s basically **half** of what we had. Patriot missiles aren’t quick to replace either — the factory only makes a few hundred a year, and they’re trying to ramp that up, but it’ll take years to catch back up.
Same story with other systems. THAAD missiles and the Navy’s SM‑3/SM‑6 interceptors also got used heavily. The U.S. fired a few hundred of those too, which again was a big chunk of the total stockpile.
This is why Ukraine keeps saying some of their Patriot launchers are sitting empty. The U.S. does have missiles to send, but not a ton, and they’re trying to rebuild their own supply at the same time. That’s why Ukraine keeps pushing for steady deliveries — not just one shipment and done — because Russia is firing missiles almost every day now.

USA could loan a couple of Minutemans with H-warhead. Dead man’s clutch wouldn’t start, after all it’s Russian made.

Will Zelenskyy stop asking US for aid? Until the current fascist admin drops out, they’ll only help themselves and never help foreign countries. But they’re doing a very bad job at helping themselves too though. Just in general, the US is currently, seriously unreliable & incompetent.

It’s dumb that we’re not supporting Ukraine, and also dumb that Europe has so little to offer in terms of air defense that Zelenskyy feels like he still needs to go to a country that’s currently mostly indifferent to their plight.
