The Biden administration has already decided to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons to strike targets deep within Russian territory and any hesitancy is merely political camouflage, a Kremlin spokesman said Thursday.
The White House is close to an agreement to provide Ukraine with the AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile that could “significantly alter” the ongoing conflict with Russia, according to Reuters. It has a range of about 230 miles, or more than 570 miles if Kyiv receives the extended-range version.
The JASSM can be launched from an F-16 Fighting Falcon, which the U.S. and other NATO allies are in the process of providing to Ukraine.

The “Trump is a warmonger, not us” Democrat crowd sure doesn’t seem interested in ending this war.
Oh good. Those of us that follow this stuff are really interested in what a Satan II missile will do...
“It has a range of about 230 miles, or more than 570 miles if Kyiv receives the extended-range version.”
In theory, the Ukrainians could add another stage to extend the range of the 230-mile version. Such a stage would involve only fairly basic technology which Ukraine would have.
I am reminded of picture of the orthodox Russian priest blessing a Satan missile..
In case you hadn’t noticed, PUTIN is the one who (a) started this war, and (b) is the one keeping it going
Neither is Putin
If Russia decide to quit today and just go home, I have a feeling that some who decry this horrible war would be disappointed.
Amiright?

The Russians could build very long hangers. A hanger might be 700 feet long and might hold a 50-foot-long airplane.
Most attacks on hangers would only destroy fairly cheap bent beams and corrugated steel.
Biden/Harris: playing stupid games, will they win stupid prizes?
RS-28 Sarmat (”Satan II”) intercontinental ballistic missile (put on combat duty in Sept. 2023)
range: 11000 miles
payload: nuclear
They wanted a proxy war, they got a proxy war.
What’s the first US target to get hit? A base in Syria or Iraq? Or maybe the Houthis will suddenly learn how to target American warships.
Russians won’t target US or NATO territory, but they will respond.
You do not need a direct hit to destroy an airplane. They are lightly built. A warhead filled with ball bearings would destroy any planes in such a hanger.
Whether Putin is correct or not, the fact that he’s saying it proves he is laying the foundation for a nuclear attack on Ukraine. It’s doubtful that he could contain it. It may be that he overestimating our weakness under Biden. Or is he?
My point is that the Left (== Biden-Harris, Rat party) is utterly dishonest and hypocritical. These are the same people who tell us "weapons are bad, you don't need weapons, weapons cause murders, turn in your guns" ... yet they're gung-ho to supply more weapons, and more capable weapons, to one of the warring sides. Well, which is it? Are weapons inherently evil and capable of causing violence or not?
Their words say one thing, their actions say the opposite. They are lying to you and to me, and have been for a long time.
Putin is not going to nuke Ukraine. Prevailing winds in the northern hemisphere blow west to east; most of the fallout would land on Russia. He’s going to kill his own people to prove a point?
[The “Trump is a warmonger, not us” Democrat crowd sure doesn’t seem interested in ending this war.]
Democrat Joe Biden and Democrat Kamala Harris will deliver World War III for them. And then act all surprised when it happens.
I think Putin values the lives of the Russian people as his highly as Stalin did.
This is true.
Houthis gonna get hypersonic missiles.
