The US president has “threatened to stop” supplying ⁠weapons for Ukraine to pressure European allies to join a “coalition of ‌the willing” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reports, ⁠quoting people briefed ⁠on the discussions.

According to the report, ⁠Trump threatened ⁠to stop ⁠supplies to NATO’s weapons procurement initiative for ‌Ukraine, which is funded by European countries.

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Al Jazeera it was “very disappointing” that NATO allies such as Spain blocked the use of their airspace and bases for the US-Israel war on Iran. He warned that Washington will re-examine the value of NATO after the war is over.

Drone warfare is example in of cutting edge technology. It doesn't have to be hard electric technology, but the technology of how war is being waged. Using 100 of cheap small drones to stop air attacks from large drones instead of patriot missiles. Creating zones where the enemy can't go it because of drone coverage. Wiping out a 3rd of a countries nuclear capabilities in one attack. Even while oil is at an all time high Russia can't take advantage of it because Ukraine is destroying ports making it almost impossible to ship oil out.
