Ukraine cannot win if Biden bars attacks on Russian soil
The Hill ^ | 06/22/2023 | JONATHAN SWEET AND MARK TOTH

When the Ukrainian Army begins pushing entrenched Russian adversaries out of defensive positions in the Donbas region during the initial phases, recapturing and liberating sovereign territory, the Biden administration will face a new dilemma.

Will Biden support Ukrainian ground forces in the military pursuit of a retreating Russian army that attempts to escape annihilation by seeking sanctuary on the Russian side of the border? Will he support artillery and air strikes on the Russian side of the border?

Following the May 22 Belgorod raid by elements of the pro-Ukrainian Russian Volunteer Corps and the Freedom of Russia Legion, both composed solely of anti-Putin Russian citizens, the White House foreshadowed that it would not. State Department spokesman Matt Miller said, “As a general policy matter, we have been clear that we don’t support the use of U.S.-made equipment being used for attacks inside of Russia.”

Proof positive Biden promoted this war. I think he has bitten off more than he can chew and opened a can of worms to cover his ineptitude. No telling where this will lead while China moves into Cuba.

If Russia continues to be attacked directly it just justifies every bit of Russian propaganda portraying Ukraine’s seizure by the West in 2014 as an act of aggression that ominously threatens Russia’s independence and survival. You have to wonder at the mind-blowing stupidity of Westerners who think this is the way to win the war. But then, it’s been a while since the West remembered how to win wars. Russia still remembers, and that’s why I’ve been saying from the beginning that it is a foregone conclusion they will be victorious in the end.

The best thing that ever happened to Ukraine is the Russian special military action. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. It has Biden’s stench all over it.

Russia cares about the Russian people living in Ukraine. They are willing to die for them. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. It smells like Biden’s body waste. Many American politicians have their noses very close to Biden’s body waste. MSM is all ready in the outhouse hole and loving it.

Kinda like-warm I’d say.
Choose a day to hug-a-Russian then choose a day to hug-a-Ukrainian.

Why not just give Ukraine Nukes to finish off Russia? That would win the war! Blow Moscow off the map with a few H-Bombs? End the threat of Russia in one blow! What could go wrong?

Yes, it sucks to be Ukraine, and a portion of Russia for that matter.
Just as it sucked to be in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Serbia, Vietnam, etc. Best path forward is to make a peace, save lives. USA has tremendous leverage here, and is not under threat, use it for peace instead of war. Current path is a blood path for at least another year.

Have a nice day!

I agree. And it really shows how much power and control the Military Industrial Complex/Deep State/Globalists have.

They’re all padding their pockets while they can.

“”Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.””

If you know the corruption rating for Ukraine, then you must know that Russia is rated as far more corrupt, with Ukraine at 116 and Russia at 137.

I don’t think so. Biden has no influence in Russia.

You don’t actually know the corruption ratings.

Ukraine is 1t 116 and Russia is at 137 for 2022.

You mean you have been posting about corruption ratings and never even bothered to look them up?

Of course I don’t study the so called “numbers”…why waste my time on bunk. History and current events is what I follow, these stat numbers don’t mean dip. One can make them fit any scenario that satisfies their point of view.
Suggest you go to Moon of Alabama blog… be sure to bring your dictionary. Comprehend some and get back to me…
Also Russian and Ukrainian history mix will enlighten the mind. You know, putting the “NEWS” into perspective.
Peace

Study the numbers? seeing 116 versus the number 137 shouldn’t be so challenging.

I see why you picked a blog to tell you what to think.
