Our traditional foreign policy calls for non-intervention in foreign wars, but even those who do not fully accept this policy should agree on one thing. America should not ship weapons to troubled areas. Wars are bad things, and we shouldn't make them worse by making it easier to kill people.

Unfortunately, that's just what we are doing. When he ran for President, Trump made statements in favor of a non-interventionist policy. He especially seemed eager to disengage from Ukraine.

But once he took office, he continued the policy of massive arms shipments to Israel of brain-dead "President" Biden and his gang and his gang of neocon controllers. He went even further with Iran, actually sending American bombers to drop bunker busting bombs on Iran's nuclear facilities.

At first, Trump partially fulfilled his campaign rhetoric about cutting off military aid to Ukraine. But he has now restored it, and he threatens to impose sanctions against Putin. This risks nuclear war.

Let's look first at American arms shipments to Israel. According to an article in The Times of Israel in May 2025, "The US State Department told Congress on Friday that it plans to sell nearly $3 billion in weapons to Israel, including thousands of bombs and $295 million worth of armored bulldozers that had been held up by the previous administration over human rights concerns that US President Donald Trump has largely eschewed. The prospective weapons sales were notified to US Congress on an emergency basis, meaning they will not be subject to review by the House and Senate's foreign relations committees. Trump's predecessor, US President Joe Biden, also utilized the measure to approve arms sales to Israel during the war in Gaza. In a statement, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio 'has determined and provided detailed justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale to the Government of Israel of the above defense articles and defense services in the national security interests of the United States, thereby waiving the Congressional review requirements.'"

Here is Rubio's statement in full, from the Department of State website: "I have signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. The decision to reverse the Biden Administration's partial arms embargo, which wrongly withheld a number of weapons and ammunition from Israel, is yet another sign that Israel has no greater ally in the White House than President Trump. Since taking office, the Trump Administration has approved nearly $12 billion in major FMS sales to Israel. This important decision coincides with President Trump's repeal of a Biden-era memorandum which had imposed baseless and politicized conditions on military assistance to Israel at a time when our close ally was fighting a war of survival on multiple fronts against Iran and terror proxies. The Trump Administration will continue to use all available tools to fulfill America's long-standing commitment to Israel's security, including means to counter security threats."
