Ukraine for the first time has begun using long-range ballistic missiles provided secretly by the United States, bombing a Russian military airfield in Crimea last week and Russian forces in another occupied area overnight, American officials said Wednesday.

Guess it’s not secret anymore.

“Poking the WW3 bear.”

Oh really. What’s Russia going to do about it? Invade Ukraine?

We agreed to NOT send them because they can easily reach the interior of Russia. So we’re trusting Ukraine not to hit inside Russia. “Z” cannot be trusted.

Bullets are also long-range.

Stop those Ukrainians, and stop bullets delivery by the U.S.

A few long range conventionally armed missiles will be irrelevant. Yes, good for propaganda purposes. But will have little effect in the grand scheme of things.

“For months, the U.S. resisted sending Ukraine the long-range missiles out of concern that Kyiv could use them to hit deep into Russian territory, enraging Moscow and escalating the conflict.

What is Ivan going to do about it? Go Nuclear? We have nukes too, lots of them. Cuts both ways. Let Zelensky really hammer them with the long range stuff. Makes up for Russia targeting electric infrastructure.

Inching towards WW III. When will the big war come? I am betting on August 2024. I will go out in a limb and pick August 21st as the date for the war to start. Fighting in Belarus with Poland. What is your pick? I am thinking there will be an event—a US ship sinking or a test of an A-Bomb by Iran, or a terror attack in the USA. Some event (maybe a constructed one) to get Americans in a fighting mood. See you in the ration booklet lines Citizens. We must embrace the suck. Lots of Jobs will open up! Factories built! Rallies to attend, patriotism will be in style again. Churches full of worshipers. No more worries about genders or race politics. Many changes after the first defeats in Alaska as Russo-Chinese forces push south into Canada.

There is a very dark red line the fools in DC will eventually cross. When the Ukes are given access to weapons capable of impacting the Russian nuclear retaliatory capability, all bets will be off as to what preemptive actions the Russians might take.

Why do American officials say something that is supposed to be secret?

Oh go on don’t stop there you didn’t go out on a limb just by picking the exact date of World War 3 to occur in 2 months.

"What is Ivan going to do about it?"

Let's see.... Russia could provide accurate and long range ballistic missiles to every enemy that we have. They could share technology with North Korea making their nuclear missiles far accurate and with a much further reach. Russia could flood the Western hemisphere with long range missiles and munitions that would complicate everything for America in our near abroad.

Russia could kick American and European troops out of Africa. Oh wait, Russia is already doing that.

While certain people go on endlessly here about how crazy America is and all the awful things we are doing,

Reality is that this war is an absolute disaster for Russia. The only thing that can bail them out is total victory and taking over the manpower and resources of Ukraine.

Even then they may find themselves in possession of a very hostile country.

In any event this whole military adventure has been a complete debacle for Putin.

Hopefully, the missiles will be paid for by this aid package and the account of Ukraine is now closed. Zelinsky will still continue to scream and whine for more weapon, but this time he has to buy them.
