US will ‘continue to provide’ ATACMS to Ukraine, national security advisor says. Months of work to build up stocks means the U.S. can give Ukraine more of the sought-after long-range weapon.

Go USA!!
This right here already speaks to the strategic calculus. This is going to royally fuck Russian logistics should they be permitted to be used on Russian soil.

Translation: “we made a politically embarrassing, strategically disastrous miscalculation by denying ATACMS to Ukraine under false pretenses. We’re now providing ATACMS, under a rationale that won’t get our ‘escalation manager’ called out for incompetence.”
This is because the new replacement PRsM systems started rolling out to the US Army last December.
ATACMs are now obsolete for domestic purposes. Fucking awesome for Ukraine!
I’m glad this douche has seen the light. We need to give them all to Ukraine.
