We should hand them the weapons and let them use them how they want/need to.
If Russia doesn’t like how they use them, they can end this fucked up war of aggression they started simply by leaving.
It’s like trying to end an ant infestation by just spraying your kitchen table.
Problem is that if the Putin rat is backed into a corner he may be tempted go to tactical nukes - by accident, of course.
What an absurd fear and premise.
Typical Kremlin fear mongering. Shows they’re desperate
I don’t know man, nukes aren’t a risk anyone is willing to take.
How can they drive back Russian forces if they can’t act against military targets behind enemy lines? Seems to be an unnecessary limitation as this point.
Seems like it’s absurd to pretend it was a limit in the first place, and a fake issue entirely.
What are you talking about? Did the US put those limits on the strikes inside Russia?
US and EU as far as I know. I guess it has to do with treaties and policies about proxy wars. If a country sends weapons to another country and tells that contrary to attack a third country, I think it’s considered an act of war from the country that sent the weapons. IANAL
Edit: especially considering that Russia has long since claimed that Ukraine is just a pawn of the West
??? This was like the second biggest news story of the past week? The point of the article is about the relaxation of those limits
The Biden administration had held targets inside Russia off limits to U.S.-supplied weapons. The fear had been that Russian President Vladimir Putin would then seek to widen the war to Ukraine’s neighbors. Or, an even more grim possibility: Russia unleashing tactical nuclear weapons in combat.
But Russian battlefield gains in recent weeks near Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, seem to have changed the adminstration’s approach.
