Well, let’s just hope Biden and his people aren’t that stupid
The Biden administration is now weighing adopting a plan backed by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) that would allow Ukraine to strike Russia with U.S.-provided weapons.
The New York Times reported this week that the State Department, led by Secretary Antony Blinken, is pushing the Biden administration to allow Ukraine to strike missile and artillery sites within Russia that America provided for the state’s protracted conflict with Russia.
Victoria Nuland, who left her job as the number three position at the State Department, said, “I think if the attacks are coming directly from over the line in Russia, that those bases ought to be fair game.”
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said, “This is part of our defense. How can we protect ourselves from these attacks? This is the only way.”
Obviously, Russia is the bad guy, but, seriously, is Ukraine that important that we have to move towards WWII? What’s so important about Ukraine? It wasn’t that important when the Obama admin, with Biden as VP, did nothing when Putin took Crimea. So, why do we care that much, and, by we, I mean Biden, Democrats, and some Republicans?
(The Economist) Nato secretaries-general do not normally attack the policies of the alliance’s biggest and most important member country. But Jens Stoltenberg, whose ten-year stint in charge is coming to an end, has done just that. In an interview with The Economist on May 24th, he called on nato allies supplying weapons to Ukraine to end their prohibition on using them to strike military targets in Russia. Mr Stoltenberg’s clear, if unnamed, target was the policy maintained by Joe Biden, America’s president, of controlling what Ukraine can and cannot attack with American-supplied systems.
Will other NATO members allow this, especially the EU ones who are right on the front-lines of Russia?
(AP) Russia’s military has begun drills involving tactical nuclear weapons that were announced by Russian authorities earlier this month in an apparent warning to senior Western officials who had spoken about the possibility of deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine.
It was the first time Russia has publicly announced drills involving tactical nuclear weapons, although its strategic nuclear forces regularly hold exercises.
Yes, the West must stand up to Putin and Russia. But, is Ukraine worth it?
Fortunately, Biden blew out of D.C. for Delaware yet again. How much damage can he do?
