Anti-Defamation League staff decry ‘dishonest’ campaign against Israel critics theguardian.com As Prof. John Mearsheimer has stated, the policies won't change until the elites turn against the government. Even if the rank-and-file in the ADL or the State Department voice opposition, it's not enough. It works both ways. It wasn't enough when 51 US diplomats penned a letter to Obama to wage conventional war against Syria. This was several years after Congress rejected Obama's attempt to put a war resolution for a vote and Gen. Flynn leaked the Pentagon report on the jihadist rebels they were supporting.

New US-made longer-range bomb expected to arrive as soon as Wednesday in Ukraine The Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb doesn’t even exist in the U.S. inventory. The Pentagon has successfully tested a new long-range precision bomb for Ukraine that is expected to arrive on the battlefield as soon as Wednesday, according to two U.S. officials and two other people with knowledge of the talks. Ukraine will receive its first batch of Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs, a brand new long-range weapon made by Boeing that even the U.S. doesn’t have in its inventory, according to the four people, all of whom were granted anonymity to discuss matters ahead of an announcement. The new bomb, which can travel about 90 miles, is expected to be “a significant capability for Ukraine,” said one of the U.S. officials. ... The bomb will join other long-range weapons given to Ukraine over the past year that have allowed its troops to hit Russian logistics and naval sites in Crimea. While the new bombs don’t have the range of the British Storm Shadow or the U.S.-made Army Tactical Missile System, it is arriving as Ukraine’s stockpiles of artillery and munitions are running low. New funding for Ukraine is part of the $111 billion emergency supplemental that’s been stalled on Capitol Hill. Despite the fact that the U.S. has no new money to authorize weapons transfers from existing stocks, the U.S. signed a contract with Boeing last year to provide the weapon to Kyiv. Ukraine will be the first country to use the bomb in combat, making it a critical test case for other countries that have been snapping up long-range munitions since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. politico.com Ukraine also receives more Skynex air defense systems from Germany's inventory. Skynex has been in operation in Ukraine for almost a year.
