It's a nice way of saying that they may not do as Biden wishes. They don't know how to say it without making Biden look like the demented imbecile that he is.
The Pentagon hasn't always done as Biden wishes. From his first day in office, Biden's team went to the Pentagon to acquire certain information and were met with Pentagon officials and lawyers, who declined to provide said information.
So Biden's attempts to get WWIII going by providing both the missiles and the Satellite access needed have some hurdles. Note the specificity? I think Zelensky fired an 'American Made Atacams' into Russia at a shorter range than ATACAMS are capable of because they didn't have the Satellite info. So it looks like they fired into Russia with an American Made Atacam missile, but likely without American provided coordinates. Zelensky wants to make it look like the Pentagon is involved and providing Satellite info needed for traditional ATACAMS launces.
It looks like Biden 'authorized' the firing of ATACMS into Russia without agreement of the Pentagon. Putin has made the point that long range missiles into Russia require active US Military/Satellite participation, and if they are fired, this brings the US directly into the war with Russia.
The Pentagon has repeatedly said that they will not be firing long range missiles into Russia.
So, it looks like Brandon was able to get long range ATACMS fired a short distance into Russia by bypassing the need for US Military Satellite assets needed for the Ukraine to make use of 'long-range' capabilities of the ATACMS. War, by any means 'necessary' is what Biden is working to start. Putin must know that the Pentagon did not participate, but has updated his Nuke policy to make it clear to the world that they are ready to respond if Brandon should somehow get Satellite support (foreign country?) or Pentagon Satellite info onboard.
The U.S. confirms Ukraine fired long-range ATACMS into Russia for the 1st time
EXCERPT:
"The U.S. official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, told NPR that Ukraine fired seven U.S.-made Army Tactical Missile System into Russia, striking a weapons depot near the town of Karachev, in Russia's Bryansk region, about 70 miles from Ukraine. The official said Russia shot down two of the missiles."
