President Joe Biden has told his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that the United States will provide a small number of long-range missiles to aid the war with Russia, three U.S. officials and a congressional official familiar with the discussions told NBC News on Friday.

The officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly, did not say when the missiles would be delivered or when a public announcement would be made.

For months, Ukraine has asked for the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, which would give Kyiv the ability to strike targets from as far away as about 180 miles, hitting supply lines, railways, and command and control locations behind the Russian front lines.

If you have figured it out yet, it’s a 10 yr plan by the Deep State, and they’ll get whatever they want.

Like Milley said - we’re Rich people.

Yet our nation stopped everything when Russia put missiles in Cuba 90 miles away from Florida.

Heck we even agreed to pull our missiles from Turkey, if they'd pull theirs from Cuba!

We’ll be $60 Trillion in debt when they decide to stop the Gravy Train.

There hasn’t been a Trillion seconds since the birth of Jesus.

The World has never seen debt like this.

None of the other game changers has changed the game in any meaningful sense

not true

Russia was managing to slowly artillery-barrage their way in the early months of 2022 ... that stopped in August 2022

why? HIMARS had arrived in July, and was being deployed, to great effect

Russia never advanced after that

so, superior Western equipment can make a big difference ...

In a hilarious manner, Russia annexed the land they conquered in September of 2022. They never claimed to want anything more than that.

‘Zactly!

Not to worry, though. That’ll help Bill-zebub Gates, der Führer und Reichskanzler K(louse) Schwab and his psychos reach their goal of only 500 million people on this Earth!

And not a word about negotiating a peace treaty. Time for the posters about “War is bad for flowers and other living things.”

Well okay
First 200 billion, not hardly.
If I give away something I have already paid for and am planning on scraping, I may be able to claim full value if for charity, but it didn’t cost me anything.

So I reject, conservatively, your claim.

As to supporting Ukraine with equipment costing or not, and actual cash transfers I would say I am supporting conserving the right of a sovereign country to exist against naked aggression.

That simple

It’s funny how the West broadcasts every next plan they’ll take while Russia always remains silent about theirs.

Because they are defending a vital interest and we are trying to bamboozle the public into believing we are the good guys defending democracy and the American way.

“invade with what?

those tanks with flying turrets? planes that get shot down?”

The same forces that they are supposedly going to attack Poland with.

"Biden tells Zelenskyy that U.S. will send Ukraine ATACMS long-range missiles"

I would be skeptical of any gifts promised by a demented Santa.

The strategic effect of V2s in case anyone forgot is carpet bombing Dresden, day and night. We tried targeting Penemunde, but bombing wasn't precise enough so we went strategic and burned down a city. And it didn't even take nukes. Just relentless bombing day after day after day after day after...

Lemays firebombing of Tokyo did a lot more damage and killed a lot more people than Nakasaki and Hiroshima.

Red line. Makes Washington direct party to conflict, per Russia one year ago.

Not at all, V2s are more like Soviet er ah Russian attacks with s-300s. Even if they are targeting a military target they don’t have the built in accuracy so if they did it would be pure luck

V2s were a pure terror weapon with, like the s-300s had almost zero chance of hitting anything but civilians

Atacms are very accurate and will hit targets soviets jeez did it again, russians wish were not. Something hitler would have given his right mustache for

Come to think another hitler/Putin comparison V2s and S-300s

Tell that to the Black Sea commander and several of his ships and sub

Seems pretty meaningful
