Summary
President Biden recently authorized Ukraine to use longer-range U.S. missiles to strike inside Russia, marking a small but overdue escalation in the conflict.
This decision aims to disrupt Russia’s military operations and bolster Ukraine’s position, especially with the potential Trump administration favoring pro-Russian policies.
Russia’s retaliatory missile strike on Ukraine, though deadly, represents more of the same tactics.
Analysts argue Biden’s earlier caution was excessive, and calling Russia’s nuclear bluffs is strategically necessary to counter further extortion.
You mean like the Zelenskyy regime, which is composed of Nazis, banned opposition parties & media, and refuses to hold elections? Is that not authoritarian?
Supposing all of that were true, it wouldn’t matter.
Defending Ukraine against unprovoked foreign aggression would still be the right thing to do. Because a free Ukraine can eventually have a better government. An occupied Ukraine cannot.
Unprovoked? The Nazi puppet government was slaughtering ethnic Russians in east Ukraine for years prior to the invasion, while allowing NATO to deploy droves of troops and missile deployments at the Russian border.
Ah, sorry, my mistake.
I took you for someone who was at least attempting to argue in good faith.
I’m not gonna stick to the western narrative, if that’s what you mean.
That’s fine
If you could stick to reality at least, though
I don’t know what to tell you. Those things happened. It’s just not flattering for the US, so it’s not mentioned much in the news.
Maybe in your head, sure
I happen to be close friends with quite a few Ukrainians, I know your comment is complete bullshit from my own lived experiences
How much they pay you for the garbage misinformation attempt?
Your lived experience does not outweigh historical fact. Obama similarly escalated Ukraine tensions on his way out, and deployed a significant number of troops and missile deployments to the Russian border, which Trump then pulled out and the media spun as Trump loyalty to Putin.
And human rights orgs were raising alarm bells about ethnic Russians in East Ukraine being slaughtered for years by the Nazi government. Is your lived experience also supposed to weigh more heavily than that?
Ask your Ukrainian friends why the government keeps naming streets after and erecting statues of famous Nazis from history. I’d be interested to hear the spin on that.

Oh, it’s the edgelord who is fighting an imaginary battle on the internet. How’s that been going for ya, champ?
You do not hold elections during a war if your constitution says so. Many countries do it this way. Russia can hold as many elections as it wants because those are not real elections.
So just never stop the war, and you can keep holding office with a constant influx of billions! Brilliant trick!
Are you actually just stupid? They are being LITERALLY invaded by Russia you stupid идиот
Because they were slaughtering ethnic Russians in east Ukraine for years, and allowed NATO in to deploy loads of missile and troop deployments at the border. They intentionally provoked it.
“Slaughtering ethnic Russians” cool you just made that shit up.
“NATO moving missiles to the border” dumbass they aren’t IN NATO how the fuck would they have NATO missile emplacements. Also, even if they had, you know how a fucking border works right? It is THEIR territory they can put as many fucking missiles on their side all they want
I’m just repeating what human rights organizations were saying. I guess you’re accusing them of making it up.
How would you feel if Mexico let Russia place troops and missile deployments at their border with the US? It’s their border, right?
Love that you tried to play both angles, though. It didn’t happen, and even if it did… I needed a good laugh. It did happen, and foreign policy experts at the time warned Obama that it would provoke an invasion from Russia. Even war criminal Henry Kissinger said it was a fucking terrible idea.
