The United States will not provide Ukraine with advanced missile systems that can hit targets inside Russia, President Biden revealed Monday – once again rejecting a request from the Kyiv government for vital military aid.

“We are not going to send to Ukraine rocket systems that can strike into Russia,” the president said after arriving back at the White House from Delaware.

Biden doesn't know if it's Tuesday or June. He probably thinks it's a rocket pop from the ice cream man.

It’s genuinely surprising anyone though that he would.

Yeah. He is walking a fine line. Putin is about done with biden. He will soon be turning over evidence of his family getting money from Russia. And maybe election fraud evidence.

Biden is an idiot who has a history of making the wrong decision on pretty much everything. If he was actually running things he might actually do this.

LOL
he should have checked with the ukes before sending M777 howitzers to see if they had enough horses left to tow them!
At least they saved on ammo shipping costs since fixed artillery is a single use weapon...

Why expand the conflict across borders, when Big War can profit handsomely enough just turning Ukraine into Syria?

Congress is happy. K Street is happy. Lockheed Martin is happy. Smiling happy people all around D.C.

Hey Joe! A hand grenade can “strike into Russia” if you’re close enough.

I’d like to see the Ukrainian people win, but not at the expense of pulling America into WWIII and giving the Ukrainians American missiles to cause destruction inside Russia’s borders would give Putin that excuse. No more American lives to ‘fight the spread of communism’ or someone else’s religious war. Bad enough we are making financial slaves of our future generations to cover the democrats payola schemes.

No, Putin gets his power from holding the evidence. He's got Biden dancing like a puppet.

I really don’t think he’s walking a fine line. I think whoever is writing the President’s policies has no plan.

When sending artillery into the Ukrane, the two viable postures are “in” and “out”. By sending cannon but not missiles, the administration guarantees that the United States will be hated by everyone.

Military aid, or sanctions, or even diplomatic communications, should be in the service of a plan. Questions:
1. What is the Biden administration’s plan?
2. Does the Biden administration have a plan?
3. Does the Biden administration have the capacity to have a plan?

I don’t know the answers to any of these questions.
