"Despite all my respect for every country and, of course, for our partners in Ireland – we need permission to use long-range weapons precisely from those countries that give us this long-range weapon, it depends on them," Zelenskyy said.

He stressed that this does not depend on a coalition of all friendly partners – it depends on "very specific states": the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

"Today, only these four countries either provide or are capable of providing the long-range weapons that can help us push the Russian Federation out of our territory and save the lives of civilians," the president said.

Yep, and it seems like we have stopped putting riders on our weapons to Israel where it seems like they're using them to steal land.

Yet we have them on weapons we give to Ukraine who are trying to get back their stolen land.

The cognitive dissonance my country subjects me to is fucking cruel and unusual.

Israel, via AIPAC, can and has ended political careers. Ukraine doesn't have anywhere close to that kind of influence.

You have the year wrong on the last one, it was 1991 and that action by Bush was significant. It was the turning point for Israeli lobbying in the United States. After 1991 AIPAC got serious about splashing money around to influence US politics.

If you want to know how far that went read this transcript of a phone call that happened on Oct. 22, 1992 between President David Steiner of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) recorded without his knowledge by New York businessman Haim (Harry) Katz.

It's absolutely shocking.
