WW III watch: Biden allows Ukraine to strike Russia with U.S. weapons
May 31, 2024 | Vivek Saxena

The Biden administration has reportedly “quietly” authorized Ukraine to use U.S. weapons to strike Russian forces within Russia itself.

“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” an anonymous official told Politico on Thursday.

This means Ukrainian forces can now use American rockets and rocket launchers to eliminate Russian missiles headed toward Kharkiv and to also take down Russian bombers dropping bombs on Kharkiv.

“But the official said Ukraine cannot use those weapons to hit civilian infrastructure or launch long-range missiles, such as the Army Tactical Missile System, to hit military targets deep inside Russia,” Politico notes.

The official stressed that the original policy of not authorizing long-range strikes within Russia “has not changed.”

Works for me. Why should Russia be able to assemble and stage an attack with impunity so long as they are at least a fraction of a millimeter inside Russia? Why should Russian fighters and bombers be able to launch missiles and glide bombs into Ukraine with impunity so long as they are at least a fraction of a millimeter inside Russian airspace?

Or, more accurately, why should Ukraine refrain when they have US weapons, but go ahead and strike if they have weapons from other countries, who do allow such usage?
