Why would Ukraine need permission from Biden "to allow Ukraine to fire long-range Storm Shadow missiles into Russia?" Those are British missiles provided by the British.

Since it's a NATO operation if Storm Shadow missiles are launched by Brits with NATO satellite tracking, then it shouldn't just be the US's permission that is required.

It should be the permission of every member of NATO, and I think that Hungary and Turkey might be even more reluctant than what is left of Biden's brain.

Because Britain is one of our quisling vassal states. Satraps rarely make a move without the OK from their foreign masters.

True, the UK is our poodle, but there is also another reason.

Storm Shadows contain American parts. Therefore, our permission to supply to a third country is required, and in the case of Ukraine, we get the final say on where and how they are used.
