1. Very nice. Russia is the cancer of Europe. Tbh Ukraine is already doing that, just with other countries’ arms so I’m not sure if things will drastically change

2. About time! If Ukrainians shoot it what’s the problem? Does it matter who made the bullet?

3. Let’s go

4. That explains why Russia was conducting drills for tactical nukes.

5. Let’s hope Blinken has more influence on Biden than Sullivan. Personally I’m not optimistic yet.

6. Banning Ukraine from hitting Russia into its own territory is basically like stating that Putin is right to ask Ukraine to never strike a target in Russia’s border.

   It is absolutely illogical and irrational to ask a defending force to not retaliate when something hits you from outside a border. It is the base of self-defense itself that works that way.

7. Yet an other of Putin’s red lines crossed without doing jack shit about it.

8. Its insane that they haven’t been able to strike inside Russia until now, but if they suddenly are able to do it, I imagine it could be quite the trap. Imagine Russia thinking all along that they are safe inside the border, then suddenly they’re getting missiles blowing up their bases and equipment. It would be huge for Ukraine.

9. As it should have been from the start

10. Imagine if during WW2, Germany was allowed to cross over lines to engage in warfare, but noone else was allowed into their territory or shell them inside country lines.

11. Ok but saying that out loud is bad chess.
