Ukraine renews calls on the West to allow long-range strikes on Russian territory
The Washington Times ^ | Sep 14, 2024 | Associated Press

Posted on 09/14/2024 9:58:23 AM PDT by McGruff

Ukraine made a new call Saturday on the West to allow it to strike deeper into Russia after a meeting between U.S. and British leaders a day earlier produced no visible shift in their policy on the use of long-range weapons.

“Russian terror begins at weapons depots, airfields, and military bases inside the Russian Federation,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Andriy Yermak said Saturday. “Permission to strike deep into Russia will speed up the solution.”

Discussions on allowing long-range strikes were believed to be on the table when U.S. President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met in Washington D.C. Friday but, no decision was announced immediately after the meeting.

Zelensky can go suck rocks.

Strikes on Russia could drag us into WW3. Not OK.

If Britain ( the main instigators) allow western long range missiles and western crews to tabulate the missile coordinates- they become undeniably legitimate targets. Go ahead, we shall see what the fed up British population says about suffering hits from Vlad’s non nuclear hypersonic Kinzhals.

It sure would be an epic tale to see the West’s deeds to try and create an uprising against Vlad, create an uprising and dismissal of Britain’s war mongering Government. Strange how everything the West tries to do against Russia, eventually happens to themselves. Laughable.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Ukrainian troops are trapped in a cauldron in the city of Ukrainsk, expected to surrender soon. Dumas Coal Mine Number 1 is being taken by Russian troops as we speak, Russian have two footholds within the boundaries and are expected to hold the entire mine area in a matter of hours if not already finished with that.

How many threads do you have to post the same drivel? All Zelensky is looking for is for Biden to drop the stupid rules of engagement that limit how he can defend himself. You must be getting extra kopeks for this engagement.

When will you get the clue that the Ukrainians are just expendable pawns to the U.S. and Europe? They plan to fight to the last man and woman in the Ukraine but not to get in direct war with Russia. If there is a direct war with the West and Russia then China will join with the Russians.

And the Norks as well.
Might the Pakistanis join them as well?
Strange bedfellows but perhaps not unpredictable.

(could drag us into WW3)

I believe that’s the plan.

The Democrats have wrecked America and done a pretty good job of messing up significant parts of the world 🌎🌍🌏.

They need something BIG to hide their disasters and blame on something else.

If Russia starts hitting Britain or other non-Ukrainian countries, you can bet that they'll hit back. Russia can't take tiny Ukraine outside of a WWII-style attrition victory, do you really think they could do much against a more legitimate military?

Not likely. China might use the distraction to take Taiwan, but China and Russia aren't great friends. China might give Russia some psuedosupport, but it's not gonna be the full ally you think it would be..

If you think China is going to allow the defeat of Russia resulting in America & The NATOettes on its border then you are a lunatic.

Just think what the US would do if Russia gave Cuba long-range missiles (sound familiar?), with permission to fire them “deep into US territory”?


Russia is doing what any self-defending nation would do in making that declaration.
The insanity mounts
as it inevitably must
given its initial direction

this is stunningly ill-advised and provocative
there is no “winning” this war
given Russia’s nuclear arsenal

The Russians will escalate long before they will lose.
