Pressure is mounting to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons on military targets within Russian territory.

The big picture: After the Biden administration instituted the ban in an attempt to keep the conflict from escalating, calls to remove the embargo have been growing from U.S. lawmakers, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The criticism from many is that the ban is hindering the country's ability to effectively defend itself.

Did anyone notice or care that we are currently attacking Russia’s ballistic missile early warning systems?

In 2022, the average age of a Ukrainian soldier was reported to be between 30 to 35 years old. However, by 2023, the average age of a Ukrainian soldier had already reached 43. This aging trend in the Ukrainian military is significant because it indicates that the Armed Forces of Ukraine may have to conscript pre-pension age males in the not-so-distant future.

Yes - and probably with the targeting assistance of the United States.

People think assassination is the Left’s plan if lawfare fails. I think WW3 is their final fallback option to retain power at all costs. They would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.

When America is struck by missiles from other countries, remember this (if you’re not vaporized before then).

the answer is that the DemoNaziCommie Puppetmeisters, controllers....do not believe that THEY will wind up in Hell, only the rest of us (if they are successful in setting off WW3 before the election)

They believe themselves quite invincible
without even any susceptibility to Kryptonite

Sick of these bloodthirsty idiots.
