President Joe Biden has told his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that the United States will provide a small number of long-range missiles to aid the war with Russia, three U.S. officials and a congressional official familiar with the discussions told NBC News on Friday.

The officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly, did not say when the missiles would be delivered or when a public announcement would be made.

For months, Ukraine has asked for the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, which would give Kyiv the ability to strike targets from as far away as about 180 miles, hitting supply lines, railways, and command and control locations behind the Russian front lines.

Target: Crimea.

[JonPreston]

Are they coming before or after the F16s?

[Tell It Right]

So Ukraine can hit Russia targets 180 miles away.

Yet our nation stopped everything when Russia put missiles in Cuba 90 miles away from Florida.

ATACMS aren’t ICBM’s, and they don’t carry nukes

they just destroy offensive Russian targets effectively

and now all of Crimea will be a target

[Dogbert41]

Why not just give them nukes and be done with it? F’ing retards.

V2 rocket. Same strategic effect.

[blitz128]

Yup and your point?
So Russia invaded Ukraine, and Ukraine is fighting back, poor poor picked on Russia

Sorry not sorry

Biden tell East Palestine, Ohio that he will be there sometime in the next decade to see how great they are coming along.

[Levy78]

We use missiles to protect the border of Ukraine. Zilch to protect our own, pathetic!

[Levy78]

This. It’s War, Inc.

[MNDude]

This will guarantee Russia will eventually invade all of Ukraine to neutralize the threat.

It’s funny how the West broadcasts every next plan they’ll take while Russia always remains silent about theirs.

V2 rocket. Same strategic effect

nope, V2 didn't have pinpoint accuracy, and wasn't all-weather

ATACMS will be a game changer ... goodbye Russian artillery and rocket bases

[Tell It Right]

My point is that if half a century ago we thought it was worth going to war with Russia if they didn't quit putting missiles in Cuba, then Russia might think the same about going to war with us for giving Ukraine long enough range missiles to hit well into Russian territory.

We need to stay out of it.

[JonPreston]

give us the conservative case for spending $200bn US tax dollars in Ukraine.

[canuck_conservative]

This will guarantee Russia will eventually invade all of Ukraine to neutralize the threat

invade with what?

those tanks with flying turrets? planes that get shot down?

[escapefromboston]

None of the other game changers has changed the game in any meaningful sense.

Good news

Get Ukraine everything they need to defeat evil putin/russia

What is wrong with everyone’s silence about the disarming of America ?
