No new pledge on Ukraine missiles after Starmer-Biden talks
BBC ^ | Sep 14 | Malu Cursino

Posted on 09/13/2024 9:02:25 PM PDT by RandFan

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer did not signal any decision on allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles to hit targets inside Russia after talks with US President Joe Biden in Washington.

When asked if he had persuaded Biden to allow Ukraine to fire long-range Storm Shadow missiles into Russia, Sir Keir said they had had "a long and productive discussion on a number of fronts, including Ukraine, as you would expect, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific".

The White House said they also expressed "deep concern about Iran and North Korea's provision of lethal weapons to Russia".

Earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Western nations not to let Ukraine fire long-range missiles at Russia.

Putin said such a move would represent Nato's "direct participation" in the Ukraine war.

The Storm Shadow is a Franco-British low-observable, long-range air-launched cruise missile developed since 1994 by Matra and British Aerospace, and now manufactured by MBDA.[6] “Storm Shadow” is the weapon’s British name; in France it is called SCALP-EG (which stands for “Système de Croisière Autonome à Longue Portée – Emploi Général”; English: “Long Range Autonomous Cruise Missile System – General Purpose”). The missile is based on the French-developed Apache anti-runway cruise missile, but differs in that it carries a unitary warhead instead of cluster munitions.[7]

Why would he have to ask Biden?

Nonetheless. Biden protects Putin again.

Biden has a say because the Storm Shadow contains American components.

My question was mainly rhetorical.

UK can do anything they want. Don’t have to ask the US.

It is possible you aren't up on the relative power of our two great nations since about May 1940. The US calls the shots.

It’s possible you don’t know what rhetorical means.

The prevention of WWIII is hanging by a thread. In this case, the thread is the synapse between Slow Joe’s two remaining functional brain cells. He’s somehow making the right choice by resisting the calls to authorize deep strikes on Russia (for now, but if he keeps this up he’ll be deposed before Jan. 20 by Kamel Harass).

Biden: Stormy Shadow? You have Stormy Shadow? I'd like to sniff her hair.

Starmer: No, Mr. President, that's Storm Shadow. It's a missile not a miss. You're thinking of Stormy Daniels.

Biden: Oh yeah, her. We should send her to Ukraine cuz like you Brits say, she's got huge tracks of land. Something our buddy Zerpinsky needs more of.

Starmer: Zelensky, sir. Zelensky.

[What sort of gobbledegook was Pedo Joe babbling]

Joe was bragging about the hairs on his leg which gave him the courage to launch a Storm Shadow at Corn Pop.

It went right through Corn Pop, however it hit Joe’s uncle’s
World War II fighter plane and shot down his uncle.

The natives thought they were in Ohio and thought Joe’s uncle was a cat.

So they ate him.

(the above is not true and is posted for entertainment purposes only. Who knows what Joe babbles about.........)
