1. [Ukraine asked the U.S. to make this policy change only after Russia’s offensive on Kharkiv began this month, US official tells Politico. The US made the decision in the “last few days” to allow Ukraine “flexibility” to defend itself from attacks on the border near Kharkiv.](https://x.com/Faytuks/status/1796271803804913932)

2. It’d be a shame if there was a misinterpreted translation and some FAB loaded SU-34s got struck in their hangars or while taxiing to the runway.

3. Um why does America have to “give permission ” to Ukraine? Just asking a logical question btw.

4. Solely near the area of Kharkiv and only on rainy Mondays when pigs fly

5. That restriction to Kharkiv area is so stupid. Quit with the hand wringing already!

6. HIMARS will need some kind of a software update for this.

7. Why do they always announce these strategic decisions? Why not let the element of surprise work? I feel like I see deliveries of F-16’s and agreements posted every couple of hours.

8. What? Nowhere near Kharkiv? Got it…

9. I’m just trying to imagine WW2 occurring today, and the USA wanting “limited attacks” on the aggressor. Fuck Putin up please.

10. Brilliant.
