Although the United States has rebuffed requests for the 185-mile range ATACMS missile, the GLSDB’s 94-mile range would allow Ukraine to hit valuable military targets that have been out of reach and help it continue pressing its counterattacks by disrupting Russian rear areas.

Keep this Orwellian war going on forever, no conclusion is being envisioned, let alone under discussion.

We have always been at war with Eurasia. We will never stop until we have defeated the enemy. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

“U.S. and allied military inventories are shrinking,”

I cannot help but wonder if there is somewhere in Moscow or Beijing a chess player looking at a bigger picture than just Ukraine.

“They are the ones asking for WWIII”

Only entity that is asking for WIII is a Banderist Nazi sitting in an unknown disclosed bunker in Kyiv.......

Idiot failed once.

Maybe another S-300 or two into Poland killing some more peeps, a tractor and some farm animals will work on second try?
