Why Ukraine wants to use Western long-range missiles inside Russia
ABC News ^ | Sep 13, 2024 | Associated Press

Posted on 09/13/2024 7:50:12 AM PDT by McGruff

Ukraine is pushing for permission from its Western partners to use the long-range missiles they have provided to strike targets deep inside Russia, as Ukrainian forces struggle to hold back Russian advances in eastern Ukraine.

Russia has warned that it would consider allowing such long-range strikes an act of war, and Ukraine's Western allies are wary of antagonizing the country with the world's largest nuclear arsenal.

The issue is likely to weigh heavily on White House meetings Friday between President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as well as with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later this month.

The little Hitler bastard believes that with so much Ukrainian life lost as well as real estate he stands to lose less.

Smart little godless monkey. He sucks money out of a bankrupt nation ruled by Hitler bastards.

Russia has Ukraine caught in a rear naked chokehold

Zelensky’s only hope is to get US and NATO troops involved.

He’s finding out the limits of what a monkey and neocon puppet he is.

Why? Because they can’t win without stoking a greater conflict and they need to keep going so they can keep the money coming. It’s all about money.

Because they are at war. We did not fight WWII and have Berlin off limit. If Putin does not like it stop the war with Ukraine.

“To usher in WW3.”

Yep, my very first thought, too.

It is useful to note that there is little to no obstacle to having freighters at sea south of England, equipped with long range Russian-made cruise missiles carrying a few thousand pounds of conventional explosives and hit Whitehall, Portsmouth and MI6’s building in London.

This would erase the UK’s involvement because they would lose their facilities.

The crew of the freighter could be manufactured Ukraine “partisans” under a Liberia flag.

Point being, there is Russian retaliation possible for such things that need not involve nuclear weapons.

There already is a war. It’s because Russia is firing long range missiles from its territory into Ukraine and Biden has been foolishly stopping Ukraine from defending itself. Are you pro-Biden here?

Where's our NATO allies on this latest game changer? Their silence is telling.

Don't get high off your own supply. Literally nobody is proposing this.

Macron and Starmer aren't silent, they support it, as do the Poles and most others. The only pantywaists are Biden and the Germans. You must be from the pro-Biden faction of FR.

I suspect most of the Russian arms industry is in the Urals areas where Stalin moved it in WW2.

The Ukrainians might hit airfields, command centers and oil refineries in eastern Russia.

I’m sure the Russians are aware of the possibility and are taking steps to minimize the damage that could be done (but the Russians have a miserable track record of doing so).

The war will ultimately be decided on the front lines.

Hitler’s V-1s and V-2s didn’t change the course of the war.

The ONLY reason the little Ukrainian Faggot WANTS PERMISSION to use the long-range missiles that the US and NATO have provided is because the little faggot NEEDS the US and NATO personnel to provide the skills necessary to program/target the missiles.

Ukes pull the trigger, but SOMEBODY needs to provide the programming.

More propaganda from you.

First of all, the long-range missiles he wants to use are operated by US and NATO technicians, with US targeting. That ipso facto involves NATO soldiers

Secondly, he wants NATO troops to take over the logistics and other back up roles while these Ukrainian troops move to front line positions. Otherwise, what is the strategic purpose of long-range missiles? Just to drop on the Kremlin?

Ukes don't even pull the trigger. Given the training, codes and targeting needed to launch them, the probably never leave NATO control
