“Big difference between Ukraine using US supplied weapons against Russians inside Ukraine, and Ukraine launching missiles toward Russian bases, villages, cities inside of Russia.”
Why? Putin has been lobbing rockets, missiles, artillary and bombs from Russian territory to inside Urkaine territory for two years. Why, after two years should Ukraine NOT be responding in kind?? The “escalation” has alrready occurred, by Putin.
Ukraine can do what it wants, but there is no way for them to win this thing unless some other countries are willing to supply troops. Ukraine just doesn’t have enough military age men left in country. At this time I don’t believe the Russian people fully support the war. If the Ukrainians ramp up attacks against targets inside of Russia using US supplied long range missiles, you will see the Russian people unify behind Putin.
