So, let me see. When USA was attacked on 9/11 it was perfectly OK to attack the country that had no direct link to this attack (Iraq) but it is not OK for Ukraine to strike the actual aggressor who killed orders of magnitude more Ukrainians compared to 9/11? All who are Americans on this thread and against it are hypocrites. And all Putin’s sleeper trolls of FR, you know where to go, right?

No, *** you, orc. The war is coming to your neighborhood. Ukrainian drones are completing the final stage of preparation. Got your power banks charged?

Mexico is run by drug cartels.

Mexico has given their country to the Cartels

Biden has given control of our Southern border to the drug cartels.

a US defense official said that it’s up to Ukraine where they attack and that they have limited restrictions on using US-provided weapons.

Realistically, I suppose that limited restrictions are better than no restrictions. The Ukies are getting at least a few Turkish missiles with IIRC a newly updated range of up to 150km and improved guidance (took out that Wagner HQ, I believe). I doubt we have much say where those are targeted.

Huh? I’ll have you know I have several “power banks” (can keep a cell phone going, or if large enough even partially recharge a small laptop computer).

I have the packaging for one I bought last year right in front of me. It says:

“Polaroid 20,000 mAH Dual USB Power Bank, PPP2001BK”

Nice that you have stated both your ignorance and that you are not an American, tho’. ;-)

Control of strategic assets (both military and economic) is what’s at the core of Russia’s objectives.

Consider how screwed Russia would be if all the energy resources found in Ukraine (including offshore of Crimea) were to be developed by the West.

Then you have the ports, a warm water shipyard, etc.

Not to mention success would likely fracture NATO and possibly the EU.

I assume you mean Russia hitting Western weaponry coming into Ukraine from Poland.

It might be “fair play”, but there is no possible advantage to Russia to hit those weapons before they cross the border into Ukraine.

No, I mean the russians using a disgruntled group to use weaponry against EU or US targets.

It sure feels like that some days........

45 minutes after the first button is pushed, there will be a lot of regret.
