Glad this is getting more light. It is beyond frustrating that the Biden administration tied Ukraine’s hands behind its back. So many lives lost and a lot of destruction could have been prevented had this asinine restriction not been imposed.
The last time Washington D.C tried to fight a war, was America fighting in Vietnam.
Everyone knows how well that went. No restrictions for Ukrainian weapons barring civilian targets.
The same MAGAt party that held up any US assistance for Ukraine for 7 months that led to the loss of Avdiivika and russia’s emboldenment to attack Kharkiv. Biden Administration has provided ATACMS and they have been successful in Crimea and Donetsk. Thankfully the Bipartian $61 billion aid package was finally voted on and the aid is heading to Ukraine finally.
Finally they realize they should let Ukraine fight back. Russia terrorist state is attacking Kharkiv from their own territory with massive troups because they can’t be attacked back due to this problem.
Hey, I agree with a Republican about something. Let the Russian reap all they have sown.
Ashamed of my government. There is a clear right and a clear wrong, and they decide, as the “strongest nation on earth” to cower at Putin’s barbarous heels. Weak leadership. It needs to be fumigated.
[From ISW](https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/putins-safe-space-defeating-russias-kharkiv-operation-requires-eliminating-russias):
“Russia’s sanctuary shields hundreds of legitimate military targets in rear areas that Ukrainian forces are capable of striking. This sanctuary shields hundreds of known military objects, including ammunition depots, fuel depots, warehouses, motor pools, command posts, repair bases, permanent unit headquarters and their organic facilities and assets, radar bases, barracks, communication posts, at least 15 air bases, and other key military and dual use infrastructure that the Russian military has optimized to project force into Ukraine. The sanctuary protects no fewer than 1,750 square kilometers—an area the size of Houston—of land known to be used by the Russian military and paramilitary security services.
Ukrainian forces likely can significantly disrupt Russian operations at scale provided the elimination of the sanctuary and enough rocket artillery ammunition to strike such legitimate targets.”
Remove all restrictions
So no suprise effect, all is showed to enemy.
As a fairly liberal person living in a very liberal state, I wholeheartedly agree with this. Russia needs to have the war taken to them for them to stop it. It needs to end with them losing, as we can’t have major powers going around invading their neighbors, and slaughtering their citizenry.
If this leads to a larger war, then so be it.
**Republicans are not hard to follow…** **You will understand if you keep on reading**
The entire Republican strategy is to try to not give Biden a “win” and then to blame Biden for everything else.
So when Biden asked for money to send weapons, the Republicans waited until it was almost too late to vote on the aid bill.
The Republican party only does what’s good for Ukraine when it allows them to score points against Biden.
Now they can use the restrictions to bash Biden.
So, are the Republicans concerned with helping Ukraine? Only if they can score point against Biden.
Time to shift in second gear. Russia doesnt deserve any special treatment.
Mind blown by Republican saying smart things.
Takes me back…to a time I wasn’t alive to remember.
