US used ‘virtually all’ long-range precision missiles during Iran war, sources say
...raising concerns about the military’s readiness for future conflicts.
The missiles...principally the Army’s surface-to-surface weapons, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). The U.S. has used “virtually all” of these weapons, according to two of the sources.
...
U.S.-supplied ATACMS have played a key role in the war in Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to attack targets inside Russia. The PrSM is a newer, more advanced generation...
...such weapons —...cost over $1 million each — would also be important in any conflict with China.
‘Voters have had it’: influence of pro-Israel lobby
group sparks backlash in US
That would be the American Israel Political Action Committee, AIPAC (fittingly pronounced I-pac). Yes, voters here have had it with AIPAC and, increasingly with their client state. I am one of those voters. Unless the alternative gets caught with a live boy or a dead girl, I will vote against the AIPAC candidate all damn day. AIPAC has become the kiss of death in Democratic primaries and it will prove to be fatal tonight. Abdul El-Sayed, a Rhodes Scholar and physician is going to trounce Haley Stevens, a completely fine candidate and an incumbent member of congress. Candidates now focus their attacks on opponents who receive AIPAC money, and El-Sayed has done that. Stevens accepted THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS from AIPAC.
Up until, I think 2022, AIPAC was a respectable super-PAC that focused on educating Americans about Israel. But their main issue was not their only issue. Since, they explicitly have made unequivocal support for Israel their only issue: they gave money to Jim Jordan and other election deniers solely for their support of continued martial and economic aid to a foreign government. It drives American Jews nuts when a non-Jew refers to Israel as a foreign government and it drives me (and I assume some other non-Jews) nuts that calling Israel a foreign government drives American Jews nuts.
Rep. Stevens, I am truly sorry. AIPAC, Israel, shove your money up your ass.
