Looking at you, Scholz...
I really hope that Russia found out about this change in policy as the atacms where already locked onto targets.. press release... Fire.
Aim at the Kremlin
allows
This is exactly why the war is still going on. just say there are Hamas tunnels under the Kremlin already.
Hamas does not have the ability to destroy the planet several times over buddy. And a collapsed Russia we saw in the 90s it required scrambling to secure the nuclear weapons.. a lot of puckered up assholes during that period.
[Not trying to argue] Your post has made me really wonder about that word, "secure," and how it might apply to the USA's nuclear weapons as well, soon or in time. Eegh.
I think that's a valid point. If the US military is purged and restaffed based on loyalty to maga the only thing that stands between the world and annihilation at some point would be a person of conscience... Like what happened before in the USSR.
Finally! Weaken Russia as much as possible before Trump gets in.
They should give Ukraine a tranche of tomahawks to really strike deep into Russia.
For a second I thought you wrote trebuchet with tomahawk's and I'm all for it.
such dildo. very consequence.
It would be something to see if the free world gives Ukraine frigates to strike from the Mediterranean and the Northern Pacific.
Tomahawk has a land based launch system. And I'm fairly confident the Ukranians will rig it to something for initial delivery. Nesecity is the mother of invention
Pretty sure you can air launch them, too.
I believe NYT makes you login, even on a gift link. Here is a TLDR:
President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike Russian and North Korean forces in Russia, a significant shift in U.S. policy. This decision comes in response to Russia’s introduction of North Korean troops into the conflict and their anticipated assault on Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region.
The move reflects growing concerns over Ukraine’s ability to withstand simultaneous assaults while defending territory. The authorization aims to bolster Ukraine’s defense, target high-value military assets, and deter North Korean involvement. However, it has sparked debate among U.S. officials over escalation risks, as Russia might retaliate against the U.S. or its allies.
President-elect Donald Trump, who has vowed to reduce U.S. support for Ukraine, is set to take office in two months, adding urgency to the decision. The Ukrainian strategy may include using captured Russian territory in Kursk as leverage in potential future negotiations. Meanwhile, the risk of Russian countermeasures remains a central concern for Biden’s administration and its allies.
My take: I’ve been waiting on this since the US election. It’s sound strategy of we believe Putin won’t want to escalate with NATO before Trump takes office.
You just KNOW on day 1, trump is trying to pull out of NATO......again.
He'd be breaking a law passed by congress saying congress must approve it if he tried that.
........and at what point do you think he gives a shit?
Well, it had bipartisan senate support so I wouldn't immediately jump to the conclusion that the senate would agree.
If they don't approve it that'll cause a crisis and something will happen, whatever it may be.
Edit: Leaving NATO is a lot more serious than the corrupt stuff he does they don't bat an eye at.
Putin is about to have a horrendous upcoming weeks.
Putin before Donald Trump enters the Oval Office.
Looking at the distance, Ukraine would have to push North of Kursk to be able to hit Moscow. If they do that, I'd expect Putin to move to St. Petersburg for safety.
