  1. Two countries at war playing with different rules is just very odd to me. Surely targeting the way the Russians can make war is more important than blowing up Ivan in a field who will be replaced by Igor a few days later. What does it matter in respect of the origination of the weapon.

  2. This is so horrible. Russia can just bomb Ukraine away with impunity. When will we wake up? Why are we tying Ukraines hands?

    We’re teaching dictators a lesson, just not the correct one. They are learning that democratic societies can be manipulated and taken advantage of from within.

  3. Start killing Russian civilians. Let’s see how long before the public turns on Putin when innocents start dying in the streets.

  4. And what did he say about russians and iranian weapons wich contain components manufactured in the USA and which strike the Ukrainian population?

  6. So Russia can use North Korean ballistic missiles and shells. Also Chinese equipment and shells to kill Ukrainians anywhere in Ukraine, but Ukraine can only use American weapons within it’s own borders. It can only destroy it’s own infrastructure, to try to win a war.
    It can’t target build ups of troops right on it’s borders. It can’t destroy russian infrastructure to slow supplies with American weapons.
    What does America and any other supplier of weapons think russia will do. Do western countries join the war when russia uses foreign weapons.
    It’s a fucking joke. But there is no laughing going on, just Ukrainians dieing.
    FUCKING CRAZY!
    Slava Ukraini 🙏🇺🇦

  7. Fuck off Biden. Pussy. He clearly doesn’t want Ukraine to have any chance of winning this war.

  8. BS. Damn if only we had a choice other than that orange wanker. The good General McCarthy is rolling in his grave, again. I have trouble believing the US currently knows how to fight a savage kill or be killed war.

  9. In other words, American foreign policy is still in the hands of eunuchs! 🤬

  11. WTF is wrong with these pathetic spineless cowardly politicians 😡

  12. In other news, US Defense is perfectly fine sending weapons and aid to Israel…who are knowingly committing atrocities…but not to Ukraine…who isn’t. Real proud to be an American right now…

  14. It’s because this is about an arms race, capitalism, geopolitical control, the next 100 yrs of influence and not about protecting Ukraine; rather using incredible Ukrainian lives to diminish Russia enough that should a broader conflict arise (it will), the west has a greater chance of achieving its goals (not necessarily victory) that will usher in a new era of resource control.

  15. I dont think the Biden administration understands the implications for global security if Russia walks away a winner here.

    We are signalling that landgrabs are back on the menu and that the only true guarantor of security is having a national nuclear weapons programme.

    US Ukraine policy is asinine.

  16. But it’s the republikans fault ..

    Let’s be honest, one supports putin and the other supports the status quo

  18. Why even add any clarity to this? The people close to the military situation should be the only ones who know the stance. To the public, and to Russia, the use of Western weapons on Russian territory should at best remain vague. Let the Russians lose sleep over it and scatter their defenses.

    Loosely:

    “Do you allow U.S. weapons supplied to Ukraine to be used against targets in Russia?”

    “Ukraine is using military equipment against military targets as they see fit in order to defend their country against the aggressor” and no further comments. Those who need to know, know.

  20. I bet this was a condition that the idiot GOP members gave in order to sign the 60+ billion-dollar aid package and has nothing to do with fearing russian escalation. That’s why other countries were like (UK) ‘YOU CAN USE MY AXE’ and (France) ‘YOU CAN USE MY SWORD’

  21. The U.S. has a problem, the UK doesn’t, France likely doesn’t, Germany has a biiiig problem, so it’s inevitable that Ukraine must go indigenous at some point anyway.

    Ukraine knows how to build missiles, Neptune demonstrated it, Luch Design Bureau was said to be working on range extension since many moons ago. Then Ukraine is already halfway there in manufacturing their own long-range cruise missile. They need some pointers from Europe for an improved seeker and sourcing high-tech components. Even a knockdown licensed version would do better than slow propeller drones.

  23. Supposedly this is part of a gentleman’s agreement between William Burns and Nikolai Patrushev that they struck when the CIA director visited Moscow shortly before the invasion.

    In return Moscow promised to not strike outside of Ukraine.

  24. I guess Russia didn’t provide weapons for American enemies to use on Americans during the Korean, Vietnamese and other conflicts.

    My opinion, Putin pushes, America should push harder and let Putin know that we will big brother support Ukraine and anyone supporting Ukraine. Non-negotiable.

    People in the West need to wake up to the fact that there will likely be a bigger war, one way or the other.

  27. Pathetic, spineless US politics as usual. 

    I find it fascinating that as a country we won’t stop our own internal endless plague of gun violence but when it come to using the very same weapons for just causes, that they were invented for…. Na. That’s crazy talk. 

  28. Fucking pathetic. What a joke the US are turning out to be.
