The United States last week secretly shipped a new long-range missile system to Ukraine, and Ukrainian forces immediately used the weapons to attack a Russian military airfield in Crimea last Wednesday and Russian troops in the country’s southeast overnight on Tuesday, according to a senior U.S. official.
The United States previously supplied Ukraine with a version of the Army Tactical Missile Systems — known as ATACMS — armed with wide-spreading cluster munitions that can travel 100 miles.
But Ukraine has long coveted the system’s longer-range version, with a range of about 190 miles. That can reach deeper into occupied Ukraine, including Crimea, a hub of Russian air and ground forces, and supply nodes for Moscow’s forces in the country’s southeast.
Overnight Tuesday, Ukraine used the longer-range missiles to strike Russian troops in the port city of Berdiansk on the Sea of Azov, the senior U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters.
Then You’re clearly not paying attention.
The aid package that dropped had a shit load of hands on it. Biden did some lifting, but it was mostly house leadership that did the heavy lifting.
You’re clearly unwilling to give credit everywhere it’s due as if Biden touching something makes it solely his.
We aren’t talking about the aid package. We’re talking about the secret delivery of missiles to Ukraine.
Oh, I know, but the missilesnwere part of the match aid package. Which only just now got delivered. The only thing “secret” about it was the contents.
Biden didn’t go out of his way to help, much. At best he either reversed course or the stink about not giving them long range ATACMS was disninformation.
Either way, he’s holding a garden house to an apartment fire. Like he is on basically enerything.
And to be perfectly blunt he could and should do more. So doing “something” is almost insulting.
Compare this to ardent and zealous support of Israel as they fucking genocide Palestinians.
