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?

          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.

      TIL triggering ww3 is when you don’t allow one nation to invade and conquer another.
