Biden allows Ukraine to use U.S. arms to strike inside Russia
President Joe Biden's administration will allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons to strike deep into Russian territory, three sources told Reuters.
I’m not sure if triggering WW3 just before a guy not caring into NATO takes the lead is a good idea, that should have been allowed years prior…
Good news, but why did it take nearly three years?
The ATACMS, Patriots, F16, modern tanks should have been delivered in the first 12 months to strike russia when they were less organized.
What happened, is American aide to Ukraine is about to end in January, due to the Trump administration taking over. Plus, aide was likely waiting until the end of the American election system in hopes Democrats won, so less for the Republican side to complain about.
I think the issue has been that Russia has stated that the US not having limits on the use of their supplied weapons would be seen as a US escalation of the war. And that becomes tricky because Ukraine is not a NATO country, but Russia drawing the US into the war would bring are NATO allies in as well potentially allowing WW3 (although for Trump it would be only WW2).
Because Biden and the rest of the leadership are a bunch of Cold War fossil fucks.
He needed it to be too late before doing too little.
Because global politics and warfare is a bit more nuanced than “give them what they need to win” on day one.
Finally, damn.
