The Pentagon has given its tacit endorsement of Ukrainian attacks inside Russian territory and no longer fears such operations could lead to a “dramatic” Russian escalation, The Times reported on Friday, citing unnamed US defense officials.
The US position appears to only be based on the fact that up to this point, Russia hasn’t responded to attacks on its territory with nuclear weapons or by attacking NATO countries.
The Times report reads: “Moscow’s revenge attacks have to date all involved conventional missile strikes against civilian targets. Previously, the Pentagon was warier of Ukraine attacking Russia because it feared the Kremlin would retaliate either with tactical nuclear weapons or by targeting neighboring NATO nations.”
The report came after Ukrainian drone attacks hit Russian air bases deep inside Russian territory, including one that killed three Russian soldiers and damaged two Russian bombers. Following the attacks, Russian missiles pounded Ukrainian energy infrastructure, worsening the already dire situation for millions of Ukrainian civilians who are without power and heat in freezing temperatures.
Russia didn’t start launching large-scale attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure until October, after the truck bombing of the Kerch Bridge, which connects Crimea to the Russian mainland. US officials previously said that they support Ukrainian attacks on Crimea.
The Times report said that the US doesn’t want to publicly give Ukraine the greenlight to attack targets inside Russia. In public comments, US officials have said they are not “encouraging” or “enabling” Ukrainian strikes inside Russian territory. But a US defense official said that it’s up to Ukraine where they attack and that they have limited restrictions on using US-provided weapons.
Is the pentagon run by a cult?
This is crazy.
We have to support our NATO ally…
Oh, Ukraine isn’t in NATO… **** em.

Sounds like something you would read about in a history book about WWIII
we need to get Biden out now. I think this was not a pentagon decision but was a white house decision. and yes, the white house is a bunch of cultists.
How does that square with our ‘War Powers Act’?

But they’re hoping if they keep kicking the hornet’s nest enough times they can trigger WW3 and get rid of the surplus population as part of the Great Reset.
Were the situation reversed, and Russian weapons would be allowed on US targets from, say, Mexico, how would we respond militarily?
-—Russia hasn’t responded to attacks on its territory——
..... because it lacks the means to do so.
Biden is not in command
Except it will be US troops conducting the strikes.

When you deliberately leak your endorsement for media promulgation, “tacit” it ain’t. I guess the Puppet Group’s calculation is that Russia will nuke Ukraine rather than the US proper. Biden wants to go down in history in the worst way.
“tacit” - in others words, made up.
uh huh. Yeah, that makes it official.
We haven’t invaded Mexico, in case you are not aware of that.
If this is true, it’s really stupid to be talking about it
... unless, of course, you are looking to provoke WW3
Sometimes a proxy war comes back to haunt you.
In the dis-United States, a proxy war usually comes back to haunt your successor. Politically as well as militarily, especially if you are a Democrat.
When Europe burns the world burns, tens of millions die and they are called world wars and the end of the humanity is constantly in the balance.
Canada, the U.S., and Mexico have nothing to do with global madness and the world has no role or requirement for survival here.
USA should only send to Ukraine:
- electrical generating equipment
- medical supplies
- temporary shelter supplies
Immediate Cease Fire
Ukraine keeps the land that it presently holds.
Russia keeps the Crimea.
In addition:
a) Russia maintains Kherson territory east of the Dnieper River that consists of a “shortest route possible land bridge” strip thru Kherson, connecting the Crimea directly to Russia
b) the remaining, presently contested Ukrainian terrority along the border with Russia, that Ukraine has not able to hold, becomes a DE-MILITARIZED ZONE where the Ukraine citizenry can return to, for agricultural activity and support
c) administration and governance of the UKRAINE DE-MILITARIZED ZONE becomes the work of both Ukraine and Russia as neighbors, helping each other to learn how to get along
d) Ukraine does not join NATO
e) Russia surrenders its grip on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant
f) Russia withdraws from Georgia and from all land that Russia seized from Georgia, since the Russian invasion of 2008.
