“Nope. It’s not our guys firing the weapons.”
I wish I had your confidence in the Biden administration and the media that backs him and swears he’s telling the truth...about anything.
Sorties like these are not public information you can see on the tube. And Biden and his puppet masters have lied before. This is why they have levels of clearance. Not always to protect the information but those giving it, also.

Actually it's more confidence that the information would leak out if we actually had troops on the ground or in the air engaged in combat.
Even Putin doesn't allege that. Claiming that we are approving targets for the HIMARS system is not direct involvement. Putin should probably be thankful that the US is providing some restraint.
Of course there could be multiple reasons we would want to approve targets for the HIMARS.
- They are expensive weapons and missiles and we don't want to see them wasted on low value targets.
- We don't want them accidently blowing up a kindergarten or something else that could generate bad press or even war crime claims.
- We might not be sharing all the intel that we have with Ukraine, so we likely have more information than they have.
- They have long ranges that can reach into Russia. And we might not want Ukraine inflicting damage directly on Russia because we don't want to raise the morale of the Russian troops. They don't know why they are in Ukraine fighting, but attacks directly on Russia give them a reason.
