The president's justified, overdue, but probably too-late authorization to Ukraine isn't pushing us toward World War 3.

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.

        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.
