Israel has been prioritized for defense for the last 80 years, and Trump has been expressing reluctance to support Ukraine for the duration of the fight. So, except for the Russian cash flow, which is significant, what has actually changed?

Even under democrats , Israel will still be prioritized and all defense equipment would be rerouted to Israel
