If Republicans continue to block U.S. military aid to Ukraine, the White House could turn to an ally to provide Kyiv with ATACM missiles capable of striking Russian-held Crimea.
MUNICH — After months of requests from Ukrainian officials, the Biden administration is working toward providing Ukraine with powerful new long-range ballistic missiles, according to two U.S. officials.
Late last year, the U.S. began to supply Ukraine with Army Tactical Missile Systems, known as ATACMS, but so far it has provided only the older medium-range ATACMS. Now, the U.S. is leaning toward sending the longer-range version of the missile, the officials said, which would allow Ukraine to strike farther inside the Russian-held Crimean Peninsula.
But U.S. funding for arms shipments to Ukraine remains uncertain because of opposition from former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress. Last week the Senate passed a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. But it’s not clear whether or when the GOP-controlled House will vote on the measure or whether it would survive the vote.

We’ve went through this two weeks ago; stop including me in your discussions.
So this is interesting...
The one here one this thread who posted this...
“Biden administration is leaning toward supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles”
...has forbidden me to answer him about it.
Why does he post if he can’t accept polite answers by FReepers and debate about it?
Free Republic is not forbidding polite intelligent answers. Right?
He is asking me not to include him in “my discussions” , even though he is the one who initiated the whole discussion by starting this entire thread.
Very illogical thing to say.
Oh well, I’ll be answering to myself then.
Microsoft does not make any chips.
Let’s just go ahead and start WWIII and get it over with? /sar
In unrelated news, Russia is leaning towards nuking American cities.
LOL, tlolzo is a great name! LOL!
I got a lot from this War Room episode from today... President’s Day
The Converging Crisis

Don't you recall two weeks ago when we were both suspended for going round and round, after you pinged me to your conversation? Jim was nice enough to cut us a break after a day or two? There are dozens of posters on this thread and it's best we go our separate ways. Consider it a blessing, rather than an obstacle.
Bannon is great. Thanks, I’ll take a look.
:)
The determined warmongers here want Ukraine to hit the Kremlin, with a US supplied missile.
Then blame Russia for the reponse.
This. Is. Insanity.
The State Department needs to be shut down, and Ukraine Lobby outlawed here.
And all of congress, and their families, investigated for bags of Ukrainian cash.
(Originally it’s a book.)
Yep
poke.
poke, poke.
poke, poke, poke.
The Nulandites NEVER stop.
This dumb. Russians are not deploying thru the Crimes. The formations are deploying from Western Russia into Eastern Ukraine. So dropping ATACMS into Crimea does not help stem the tide of Russian advances. Right now the Ukies need to follow the example of how the Russians defended the Ukie offensive. Other than large supplies of ordnance, which we don’t really have, there is little we can do to help. ATACMS are not the answer here unless Biden wants to give Putin a reason to attack NATO facilities and installations.
Intel. Yup you are right.
#7 I would want Bidens Delaware homes bomb by Putin.
There are too many monuments and museums in Washington DC I want to visit.
If it hairlips everybody on bear creek!
So, in one breath you say those who recognize Ukrainian sovereignty are warmongers and in the next breath you say “on to Odessa” proving what a Moscow controlled Bolshevik warmonger you really are.
Death to the invaders. Liberate the Donbas!
“Liberate the Donbas!”
How’s that going?
The Donbas is so full of Russian corpses that the progress of liberation will be slow.
