The United States will not send Ukraine rocket systems that can reach into Russia, President Joe Biden said on Monday, as Ukraine pushes for longer-range weapons system to help in its fight.

Ukrainian officials have been asking allies for longer-range systems including the Multiple Launch Rocket System, or MLRS, that can fire a barrage of rockets hundreds of miles away.

"We're not going to send to Ukraine rocket systems that strike into Russia," Biden told reporters after arriving back at the White House after a weekend in Delaware.

Isn’t Russia on Ukraine’s border? What are they going to do? Bomb themselves?

The MLRS rocket systems Ukraine wants in some cases can shoot out 180 or 190 miles so they could strike “deep” into Russia.

I’ve been hoping for a Doolittle style raid from Ukraine. Bomb some vodka factory in Moscow or something. It’s a shame the gloves stay on for them.

The Ukraine is adjacent to Russia.

A bottle rocket fired from the Ukraine could hit Russia.

The internal polling must be terrible to back down at this point. Turns out, despite months of 24/7 “flood the zone” propaganda, Americans don’t care about Putin one way or the other. 😏

I'm pretty sure the range of the US weapons supplied to Ukraine is directly proportional to the Dollar amount received by the Bidens.

It might be as simple as Zelensky's Bagmen are taking an "Early Retirement fee" from the Bag and staying in the West after they deliver the lightweight Bag (snicker).

"Poor Ukraine, the Bribes were not Big Enough."

It was a Russian leaning oligarch who bribed the Russians.

It was Joe Biden using US aid money who bribed Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma.

Russia's bribing of the Biden's' is still paying off with Biden slow walking aid. If the country and Congress wasn't in favor of helping Ukraine, Biden would probably be selling weapons to Russia.

Why are you itching for war against the world’s largest nuclear superpower?
Ukraine is not our friend.

Horse Manure, the Russian Nationalists and those associated, including Putin never bribed Biden or Globalists a cent, however the Russian Woke Radical Socialist Left and remnants of the Communist party did, including Navalny.

The Political Entity that DID Bribe all the Bidens, and owns 'em completely, is the Chinese Communist (Military and Party).

And Biden, the Deep Swamp, and American Democrats sold YOU as well.

Keep doin' your job, or your owner will be displeased.

There are 2 rocket systems...MLRS, which has a max range out to 45km.

MLRS

I believe the long range rocket system that Biden is not going to send is High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), which has an effective range out to 300 km (190 mi) for MGM-140 ATACMS, and 500 km (310 mi) for Precision Strike Missile.

HIMARS

Typical shitty reporting by MSM.

Thanks Fighter Pilot, you're right, poor reporting and journalism.

Naval weapons are my area, so I overlooked searching the extended acronym.

Suspect you are correct.
