The timing of the New York Times’ report is certainly suspicious since this agreement was reached sometime in the second half of last year yet was only just now brought to the public’s attention. That in turn prompts objective observers to seriously suspect that there are ulterior political motives at play, namely the unstated desire to weaken Russian-Israeli relations at the moment when they’re expected to further strengthen as a result of Benjamin Netanyahu’s return to office.
The New York Times (NYT) published a piece on Tuesday revealing that “Pentagon Sends U.S. Arms Stored in Israel to Ukraine”, which cites unnamed sources to report that the two sides reached a deal sometime in the second half of last year to ship American in the self-professed Jewish State to Ukraine. The outlet admitted that this was due to the West’s military-industrial crisis whereby its related complex simply isn’t able to produce enough to keep supplying Kiev, ergo the need to tap into other sources.
They also informed their readers that “(Israeli defense establishment) representatives recommended accepting the plan to avoid tension with the United States, in part because the ammunition was American property.” The NYT then added that “The Israeli officials said that Israel had not changed its policy of not providing Ukraine with lethal weapons and rather was acceding to an American decision to use its own ammunition as it saw fit.”
None of what this leading US-led Western Mainstream Media (MSM) outlet reported is scandalous since all that Israel did was simply let the US move its ammunition out of that country’s territory where it was earlier stored in the event of a regional military emergency. Nevertheless, the timing of the NYT’s report is certainly suspicious since the agreement was reached sometime in the second half of last year yet was only just now brought to the public’s attention.
This prompts objective observers to seriously suspect that there are ulterior political motives at play, namely the unstated desire to weaken Russian-Israeli relations at the moment when they’re expected to further strengthen as a result of Benjamin Netanyahu’s (Bibi) return to office. For those readers who aren’t all that aware of this larger geostrategic context, they’re encouraged to at the very least review the following three analyses about it in order to bring themselves up to speed:
* 23 December: “Netanyahu’s Return To Power Will Further Complicate Israeli-US Relations”
* 4 January: “The US Should Respect Israel’s National Security Calculations Vis-à-Vis Russia & Ukraine”
* 16 January: “Israeli Protesters Are Functioning As Useful Idiots For A Unipolar Color Revolution”
To summarize, the US is extremely upset that Bibi is much less likely to bite the anti-Iranian information warfare bait and ship arms to Kiev under that pretext than his two liberal predecessors who were more ideologically aligned with the Biden Administration’s liberal-globalist agenda than he is. That’s why it’s now provoking a Color Revolution against him in an attempt to coerce the three-time Israeli leader into making unilateral concessions on his country’s foreign policy, which is unlikely to succeed though.
Considering the high likelihood that the aforementioned influence operation will fail, the US arguably decided to leak details about last year’s deal under his predecessor in a desperate last-ditch attempt to throw a wrench in Russian-Israeli relations. That too will almost certainly fail, however, since the reported deal doesn’t actually amount to Israel arming Kiev nor was it realistic to expect Tel Aviv to deny Washington’s request to move its own ammo out of the country.
With this in mind, the very fact that such a manipulative information warfare operation was just launched by the US against the foreign policy of its nominal Israeli ally speaks volumes. First, it shows that these two really aren’t as close as their representatives claim nor what popular perceptions across the world are about their relations. Second, this development confirms that the Biden Administration doesn’t trust Bibi, or rather, that it doesn’t expect him to be their anti-Russian puppet.
Third, the preceding insight in turn reinforces the perception of this three-time premier as a truly independent and pro-sovereign leader. From this understanding, the fourth one is more understandable whereby there shouldn’t be any doubt that he’ll continue his pragmatic foreign policy course in spite of the newfound US-orchestrated Color Revolution pressure against him. And finally, this information warfare operation might actually backfire on the US by further complicating its ties with Israel.
The Leak About Israeli-Based US Ammo Going To Kiev Is Meant To Weaken Ties With Russia
The most important part of the article is what I have been advocating for some time now as demonstrated vividly in the Burkov US attempted sabotage incident in 2019

To get the Israeli or American Jewish media to discuss the obvious almost doesn't exist as too many are benefiting from the status quo without looking at developing realities.
I would ask the author to look at the symbiotic relationship between King Abdullah of Jordan and the US as chief agitator/bulldog both against Israel but also trained on KSA as well. This is directly related to the subject at hand
Thanks to its ill-advised partnership with the Biden administration, Israel seems to have chosen to leave itself defenseless against Jihadis and the murderers sponsored by its existential enemy Iran. The Machiavellian strategies of aggressive Nazis like Victoria Nuland, Fiona Hill, and Alexander Vindman now dominate Washington, DC and it is determined to bring all its power to bear in its Blitzkreig towards Moscow.
