Is Biden escalating the Ukraine war?

We are hearing that Biden is allowing long range American missiles, to strike far into Russia.

Why would he do this right before leaving office? Is he purposefully trying to make things worse
for Trump?

Biden is setting out to do what other democrats failed to do, destroy the US. He will get us into WWIII and then leave it to Trump to deal with it. Then, all the democrats will blame Trump for the disaster that Biden and his regime caused.
@DogMan I pray for the sake of the world, you are right. 🙂😍

@IM5688 Trump is already well on his way to destroying the US.

@IM5688 It doesn't really match up with their concerns with climate change now does it?

The worse thing for Democrats would be, Trump getting a peace deal and ending
the Ukraine war. It would make the Biden admin look inept, and incompetent.

But if they can somehow get it to take a bad turn, they might be able to avoid peace.

@DogMan I want to see peace there in both countries. The people of Ukraine are suffering and this needs to stop!

@Monday40 Trump has the best shot at making it happen. That is why we should
not escalate it.

The U.S. has long opposed the move, with President Joe Biden determined to avoid any escalation that he felt could draw the U.S. and other NATO members into direct conflict with nuclear-armed Russia. The Kremlin warned Monday that the decision adds “fuel to the fire.”

Maybe this is what Joe wants? Start a dumpster fire right before Trump is sworn in.

He didn't want it before. Why now?

Yes, he is. Escalate the war and leave it to Trump to deal with it. Biden: Despicable. Trump has talked about how close we are to WWIII under Biden.

i hope it gets revoked
You have to think how Putin will respond. Will he consider it a U.S. attack if these missiles are launched against Russia? Apparently they have been in Ukraine for some time, and probably before the North Koreans became involved, but were not allowed to be used. And it raises the question when did our intelligence know that NK might be getting involved? I can’t believe our intelligence services did not know this was a possibility that has now became reality. Denying Zelensky the right to use these has been in the hands of the U.S. not the Ukrainians.
The administration says it’s a response to the N Korean forces being put into Russia in the Kursk region where the Ukrainians are fighting the Russians. The N. Koreans (unless it’s not being reported) are not in Ukraine right now.
And don’t forget…Biden GAVE Putin a list of “16 “ critical infrastructures” in the U.S. that he told Putin were off limits to cyber attacks. I don’t think that holds any weight right now.

Can't the US Congress stop this senile warmonger?

Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Charlie Dietz has noted the ATACMS wouldn’t be the answer to the main threat Ukraine faces from Russian-fired glide bombs, which are being fired from more than 300 kilometers (180 miles) away, beyond the ATACMS' reach.

Ukrainian leaders have also said that Russian forces have had time to pull back assets beyond the range of the missiles in the time it has taken the U.S. to make the decision.

“The decision came far too late. Had it been made at the beginning of the fall, it might have disrupted Russia’s counteroffensive in the Kursk region. And if it had been made even earlier, it could have derailed the offensive in the Pokrovsk direction,” said Glib Voloskyi, an analyst at the CBA Initiatives Center, a think tank

The decision is far too late because they did not expect Trump to win. So they will
do it now, when it does no good.
Adrift · 61-69, F
Yeah , I was thinking that it was odd that the acceptance of Trump winning came a little to smoothly.
akindheart · 61-69, F
of course he is in light of the fact that Trump and Musk are negotiating peace.
trollslayer · 46-50, M
At least ukraine is waiting for the ok on how to use US weapons. Unlike another country.
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
Inevitable; I always the thought prohibition was foolish. Russia attacks Ukraine from its own territory, any launching or supporting facility should have been fair game from day 1. We are 1,000 days into this war. All of the escalation has been from one side - starting with decision to invade.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
You probably noticed Russia escalated this first.

I am assuming both sides know this war is being wrapped up with the new administration coming in, and they are jockeying for the best position for the negotiating table.

@SumKindaMunster THIS 👆
I’m thinking he thinks “if we can’t rule, we destroy and destruct”
@DogMan weird thought I just had but kinda like Jim Jones mentality… hmmm food for thought…
DogMan · 61-69, M
@NoGamesTolerated yeah, some Democrats might do something similar to that.
@DogMan just a weird thought but Biden’s moves put that in my head…

I was thinking about this,,,🤔

He’s doing what he should have done 3 years ago and YES, he is flipping the bird at Pootin and Trump.

@soar2newhighs Putin has been threatening to use Nukes since day 1 …..



3 years later and that message is very old and … we are all still here.
Maybe he’s trying to keep Ukraine from losing.
pdockal · 56-60, M
@carpediem If it’s lost then give up. If it’s not lost then fight to win. Or just wait until day 1 of trump when peace will be restored.
carpediem · 61-69, M
@BiasForAction
f it’s lost then give up

Exactly. Or, wait until Trump is in.

@DogMan It will hurt America. Protecting it is not the goal of the left. Evidenced by fiery riots, lawfare, illegals voting, open borders, etc. I can do this all day.
