Isn’t this exactly what we were afraid of? We gave Ukraine billions in aid and equipment to fight Russia with the agreement that they would only use the weapons to defend their country. Now that they’re attacking inside Russia’s border, all bets are off. I hope the war mongers here are fine with their children and/or grandchildren being sent to fight WWIII.

I don’t think the Ukrainians are using American weapons in these attacks. The drones are home-made.

What in the name of Lyndon Johnson is trying to tell the Ukrainians they can't kill Russians in their air bases, they have to just suck up missile attacks launched from Russian airspace?

Whence comes this idea you can bomb and invade a country and they're not allowed to hit you back?

These drones are not NATO / US weapons. They are homegrown stuff, probably plenty of imported parts, but all widely & usually commercially available. And, don’t forget, Ukraine once had quite the defense industry as part of the USSR’s defense industry. Usually some components came from elsewhere — the Soviets didn’t want any one republic to get the idea they could make all the parts for anything. Tough to build big stuff there now, due to Russian missile attacks. But, small stuff is a different story, and know-how is not really a problem.
