Germany okays Ukraine's use of German-supplied weapons on targets in Russia following US policy change
Fox News ^ | May 31, 2024

Posted on 05/31/2024 4:37:51 AM PDT by McGruff

The German government said Friday that Ukraine can use German-supplied weapons against Russian attacks from positions just over their joint border, in a significant policy change that came a day after U.S. President Joe Biden gave Kyiv a green light to strike back with American weapons at Russian military assets targeting the country’s second-largest city.

A German government statement noted that, in recent weeks, Russia has prepared, coordinated and carried out attacks on Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, in particular from areas just over the border in Russia.

"Together we are convinced that Ukraine has the right under international law to defend itself against these attacks," the statement said. "For this, it can also use the weapons delivered for that purpose in accordance with its international legal commitments, including the ones delivered by us,"

Carrying on US tradition as in the US actually invading Cambodia and Laos to go after NVA and VC troops who were launching attacks against us from both counties and hiding there for refuge, no?

Good.

Innocent countries under attack by monsters have every right to fight back.

I know the usuals will scream escalation, but Russia has already left that door open, by attacking directly from Russian soil (as if there is a difference) in Kharkiv they bright this issue to the limelight

It would be like trying to win ww2 without attacking Germany or Japan directly and leaving it up to the French resistance and the Japanese resistance (😂)

Hopefully the Ukrainians had a plan for this day and can hit the Russian stuff across the border with everything they have before the Russians can pull it all back.

With that said, if the stuff is destroyed and/or they have to pull back several hundred kilometers their Kharkiv offensive is more trouble

Daniel Martin, a retired teacher in Canada was just handed a conditional sentence without jail time for luring and s*xually assaulting a 15-year-old boy he met online.

Meanwhile, concerned father Robert Hoogland was jailed after he "misgended" his confused daughter.

The risk of escalation to a nuclear war is not worth the dubious value of bleeding Russia dry.

Ukraine isn’t part of NATO, if we are going to all die let’s die for something we legally have a duty to protect.

Willy Oam is as straight shooting a fellow as there is and pro-Ukraine. He says we are “playing with fire” so to say.

Insane. We are sleepwalking our way into WWIII. Biden secretly authorized the use of US-supplied weapons to attack Russia deep inside the country. This escalation is a sign of desperation. Ukraine is crumbling.

….and America will suffer huge consequences for meddling in foreign affairs. Our Founding Fathers were no idiots. One look around, and it is easy to see America’s decline- it will be historic…..slow burn to irrelevantcy.

The current American government deserves the whirlwind that it has reaped. Not the American people, but the rogue government.

Great question! I checked with renowned military consultant Captain Obvious, and he noted that Cambodia and Laos do not have nuclear weapons. Or nuclear attack subs with wake-homing torpedoes. Or hypersonic missiles. Or a network of agents inside the US. Or etc., etc., etc. (I kind of lost track after the first 10 minutes).

Of course, Captain Obvious dresses funny, so I would take it all with a grain of salt.
