Report says Ukraine has exhausted Patriot interceptor missiles

Where Left and Right agree, and where they split

Where Left and Right agree

Patriot interceptors are scarce, globally constrained, and finite, and that scarcity — not a one-time lapse — now leaves real ballistic-missile strikes unintercepted.

Where Left and Right split

The left and the right split on whether empty Patriot stocks demand resupply or justify limiting U.S. commitments.

Why they won’t converge

The split is a values/time-horizon divide over finite stock: whether a continuously constrained Patriot supply obligates open-ended replenishment for Ukraine's civilians or must be reserved against future direct U.S. defense needs.
