Biden authorizes Ukraine to use long-range US weapons in Russia

[Finance85]

LOL - Russia was continually fighting in Ukraine during the trump years. There was no need to make a major attack because Putin was slowly getting what he wanted. Hero worship is a terrible thing.

"Experts say Trump’s actions weakened Ukraine, divided NATO, emboldened Putin and helped get us to where we are today. And even with Trump no longer in office, his impact lives on in the form of Putin-friendly commentary in conservative media and from some Republican lawmakers.

“One of the key reasons Putin probably felt comfortable launching the invasion of Ukraine was the extent to which the West has been weakened and destabilized, and democracy undermined, and political divisions sown, in the five years since he attacked our election in 2016,” said Garrett Graff, a historian and journalist with expertise in national security and Cold War issues."

Did you happen to look up what happened to those Russians?

They were annihilated


In the end, 200 to 300 of the attacking fighters were killed. The others retreated under merciless airstrikes from the United States, returning later to retrieve their battlefield dead. None of the Americans at the small outpost in eastern Syria — about 40 by the end of the firefight — were harmed.

Ya. Not because of Trump, but because the American military is way better than the super manly and not woke Russian military.

Nice! Condescending and an insult in the same sentence.

heard on npr in the car this morning that ukr has already used american missiles inside russia. and putin has amended russia’s nuclear doctrine. looks like maximum efforts will be made to escalate and drag us into direct conflict as soon as possible

None of that matters. What matters are the nukes.

@Joes Place has assured us that that most of their nukes are up on blocks, leaking oil and unusable...

Putin will be deposed by the Army before that happens

it might have to happen in the next two or so weeks coz it feels like some horrible shit is in the works near term. i really hope i’m imagining things but the timing of theae missle attacks seems to portend it

I’m going to take a moderate view and MAYBE give trump some benefit of the doubt here. Part of me doesn’t think this is Biden saying **** you to trump, you deal with the aftermath. It could be coordination (mainly via Congress people) between the outgoing and incoming presidency’s to give the US/NATO leverage in (hopefully) the upcoming negotiations.
