US did not encourage or enable Ukraine to strike inside Russia, Blinken says
The Hill ^ | 12/07/2022 | OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. has not encouraged or enabled Ukrainian forces to conduct missile strikes inside Russia as Moscow’s war against neighboring Ukraine extends into its 10th month.

During a news conference on Tuesday, Blinken said the U.S. was informed of reports about drone strikes on Russian military sites but stressed that it had not helped Ukraine carry out the reported attacks.

Several Russian military sites were the target of drone strikes in the last two days, with one such attack causing a fire at an air base in Russia’s Kursk region on Tuesday and separate strikes on Monday resulting in the deaths of three Russian service members and injuries to four others.

In other words, the US did encourage the Ulrainians to strike inside Russia.

Specifically, at Zel and Vicky Nuland's slumber party the other day.

As long as we’re funding in any way...we’re enabling.

So the U.S. encouraged and enabled Ukraine to strike inside of Russia.

When daddy provides your exceedingly generous allowance and living expenses, you do as daddy says. Does this administration really think the rest of the world is as dumb as Americans?

Hey Zelensky, what ever you do, make sure you DON’T strike inside Russia.

What’s important is what Putin and the Russian military leaders think. If they think America encouraged the military strikes inside Russian territory, Russia won’t hesitate to attack areas outside Ukraine such as oil pipelines or even Nato territory.

Yup they’re lying. I’m sure at a minimum we provided the coordinates for those strikes.

What a liar!
We just learned that Biden peeps and perps told Trudeau in Canada to shut down the trucker caravan that was traveling to the USA border.
Anyone else wonder how long it will take Elon to re-invent the media so we get unobstructed access to facts?

That was my first thought. No sooner had the *itch left than the strikes inside of Russia began. These are wicked, horrible people.

It is now to zelinski’s benefit to expand the scope of the war by allowing it to leak that the the US is lying.

The strikes were at air bases. You can look up the coordinates to these from Google maps.
