Kremlin: White House already decided to let Ukraine hit Russian targets with long-range missiles
The Washington Times ^ | Sep 12, 2024 | Mike Glenn

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.

In case you hadn’t noticed, PUTIN is the one who (a) started this war, and (b) is the one keeping it going

If Russia decide to quit today and just go home

The Russian Federation oblasts of Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Luhansk ARE home.

Were they then given by Russia to the newly independent Ukraine by mistake, as the USSR broke up? Was Russia forced to make them part of the newly freed Ukraine? And now they have decided that they want them back?
I was not paying attention closely to the divisions and boundaries being made in 1990 or so.

Old trucks could be parked behind and in front of the plane.

You're welcome to arm up and "explain" your position to the Russian army.

Houthis gonna get hypersonic missiles.

Imagine how outraged everyone will be when houthis sink or severely damage an aircraft carrier. It will be totally unprovoked of course.

The deep state will never give up its goal of destroying Russia even in it means us taking a direct nuke hit. In fact, they may even wish for that to happen so they can reach their goal.

One US missile in Moscow, one Russian missile in DC. I don’t see how anyone can complain about that.

This situation isn’t as cut and dry as you seem to think it is.

I’m no Putin fan, but he rightfully doesn’t want NATO next door, and was assured that would never happen. He also doesn’t want bio labs next door, especially after covid. Of course it was denied there were any before it was admitted that Putin was right.

Then there’s the Nazi involvement. Actual, real Nazis in Ukraine that we are now somehow on the same side.

The Donetsk and Luhansk regions were being attacked by Ukraine Nazis and they voted to join Russia. Should they not be allowed to choose their destiny?

Victoria Nuland is involved, and she has left a trail of destruction across the globe.

Lastly, this all happened on Biden’s watch. Taking the Biden side without deep questioning seems a bit short sighted, at least to me. We know the left is utterly dishonest and completely untrustworthy, but we should just go along with them in this?

I’m seriously skeptical about the official narrative and it appears there are forces bound and determined to escalate this into a much broader war. The tell is that there are zero efforts to have peace talks. Meanwhile, the money pipeline is flowing and our tax dollars are being siphoned off, and Putin isn’t the one getting the cash.

I’m with Trump. Let’s just end the killing.

A. Globalist Victoria Nuland, through her position in the U.S. State Department supported a coup in Ukraine in 2014 that led to attacks on Russian heritage civilians in the Donbass Region.

B. Nuland confirmed "the West" told their puppet Zelensky not to sign a peace deal in 2022.
