More plausibly, US has now run through its stocks of weapons sending them to Ukraine, and doesn't have the weapons to send. Framing it as refusing to send the weapons because US all of a sudden developed a conscience is a way to avoid admitting this.

That is the most wildly implausible thing I've read on Lemmy today.
Western media openly admits that US isn't able to keep up with ammunition production for Ukraine. Try keep up with the real world.

Yes, but that only applies to artillery shells and there's a very good reason.

I do, which is why I know that things like JDAMS are entirely unconstrained. The U.S. has hundreds of thousands of them lying around.

Reason being lack of industrial capacity. And it's not just artillery shells, it's a systemic problem https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

Not really unconstrained given that US has delusions about fighting China. Also, how many of those still work is a question.
And the millions of weapons prior to the some 3.5 thousand bombs weren’t?
At least its a slight movement in the right direction, but until the flow is cut off entirely we need to hold his feet to the fire.
Means tested genocide!
This particular comment sings to me
Oh come on. This is pretty limp wristed narrative bait. There was one shipment out of many that maybe got held up, temporarily, potentially by accident, that's not the firm moral opposition to a genocide that we seem to think it is
Smacks of "I am placing sanctions on Israel" Places sanctions on 3 men
If anyone thinks that they're either lying or just very stupid
Plot twist: the bombs were intended for use in Rafah and Biden feared they only might be.
Too little, too late.
Too late for thousands but in time for hundreds of thousands more.
Yeah that brief pause achieved nothing except to give his genocide complicit supporters an excuse to continue to make excuses for him.
… Was there shipments to Israel before last week?
Definitely would. The more accomplices, the better.
