The Real Reason Ukraine Isn’t Getting What It Asked For
Description
President Zelenskyy has once again publicly appealed for increased Patriot missile production and for Ukraine to receive licenses to help manufacture advanced air defense interceptors. Yet despite repeated requests, Washington remains unmoved. In this discussion, we examine Senator Chris Murphy's comments on Ukraine aid, the political dynamics surrounding support for Ukraine, and Greg's theory regarding why Patriot production licenses may remain out of reach. Is the concern simply limited production capacity, or does the U.S. government fear that critical military technology could eventually fall into Russian hands? We also discuss how events in the Middle East, Patriot demand worldwide, and the future of Ukraine's own missile industry may shape the next phase of the war.
