🧵 — As US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent clearly has absolutely no idea what he is talking about and asks “Where is Germany?” when it comes to the supply of Patriot fire units and missiles to Ukraine, I thought this might be a good time for an educational thread.

Great thread 👍 Bessent has been attacking many of Ukraine's actual allies this week - deflecting for Trump's betrayals and trying to divide Europe in the process.

Listen closely: the way he says "NATO" reveals that, in his view, the US is not part of it.

Well, Bessent being clueless is pretty much his job description, so at least nobody should be surprised. Only disgusted.

🧵 — Let's first talk about the supply of fire units and afterwards about the supply of missiles. Germany, Mr. Secretary, has in fact supplied more MIM-104 Patriot fire units to Ukraine than the US has, despite owning and operating only a fraction of what the US owns and operates.

🧵 — About half of Ukraine's MIM-104 Patriot fire units came from Bundeswehr stocks. A total of five fully equipped MIM-104 Patriot fire units were supplied from Bundeswehr stocks between 2023 and 2025 alongside a few extra launchers and most likely a spare radar unit.

🧵 — Germany began donating Patriot related equipment to Ukraine at the same time the US has and still does it until this day while the US has long stopped donating this to Ukraine.

@deaidua.org

🧵 — Let's now talk about missiles. Together with every fire unit, Germany also donated a missile package. Known donations included for example 100 missiles and 64 missiles. That's substantial, but of course, this only guaranteed the immediate operational readiness of said fire units, nothing else.

Blinking much, Mr Bessent?

Why is he even speaking? The US hasn't meaningfully contributed for almost two years ffs

And yesterday Hegseth lied about foreign support on the war on Afghanistan (ISAF). bsky.app/profile/guev...

Earthling 🌍@guevara23.bsky.social

5.300 deutsche Soldaten kämpften an der Seite der USA in Afghanistan (ISAF). 56 kamen im Kampf ums Leben. US-Verteidigungsminister Hegseth verunglimpft diese Opfer öffentlich. Andere Staaten protestieren und bestellen US Botschafter ein. Und Deutschland? Merz? Pistorius? bsky.app/profile/well...
