It is been long known, as well as grounds for, criticism especially of the Biden administration that American presidents have restricted the use of American weapons inside Russian territory.
Now this issue comes up with the implication that the president is authorizing or not authorizing every strike into Russia at the same time the news emerges that the president is considering supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine-if paid for by somebody else.
