Joe Biden lifts ban on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russian territory.

So, Russia will now want to retaliate against the US.

Gee, I seem to remember all you lib-dems whining and crying that Trump was going to get us into WWIII and here we are with President Biden making sure of it happens before he leaves office.

Biden is not competent to make decisions of this magnitude, if he were, he still would been in the running for re-election and not have been replaced with Harris.

Biden decision making record is mostly filled with failures. Every single policy decision Biden has made in his political career has been wrong and is easily verifiable. This act by him only reinforces his failure in government.What makes anyone think this would not just be another Biden failure added to his long list of failures.

If Ukraine launches one US-provided missile deep inside Russian territory the US and Europe better be prepared for what will follow.

The Biden Administration, if not stopped, will take us into a war which, quite possibly, could lead to nuclear exchange with Russia..

I know Biden's days as POTUS are nearing the end, but he should be removed now before he causes any more damage.

I disagree. If Biden doesn't strike deep into Russia right now, Trump will pull the US out of the Ukraine conflict altogether which will empower Russia to do what Germany did back in 1933, which was spread itself throughout central Europe.

It was because of American Isolationism which the USA imposed upon it's Allies in Europe during WWII that caused the USA to show up for WWII two years late, resulting from America choosing to sit on it's ass on the sidelines as the rest of the entire free world was at war.

It wasn't until Sir Winston Churchill brought to Roosevelt's attention that German subs had sunk over 680 US Merchant and Navy ships 3 miles off the coast of the eastern seaboard of the USA as they exited New York harbor on their way to UK, that Truman had become aware that Germany was even a threat. That information to Truman came from British Intelligence, not from American Intelligence.
@swirlie You’re correct…” Biden strikes deep into Russia right now..,”
Ask yourself how Putin will see that and possibly react.The authorization comes not from Zelensky. The authorization to let those missiles be launched was given by Biden. How will Putin see that and react?
@soar2newhighs
As long as Biden hypothetically stayed in power as if the Dems had won a political sweep of the US government instead of the Trump Party, Putin's reaction would be one of measured solitude.

This would occur because Putin would be dealing with a known entity called "Joe" and therefore knows that Joe would be in it for the long-haul if authorization to ever launch that very first long-range missile was given to Ukraine by Washington.

Putin's reaction would then be to 'lob' his own long-range missiles back over the fence to Ukraine, almost simulating a game of ping-pong missile attacks between Ukraine(USA) and Russia, until one side or the other simply blinked first, or simply ran out of missiles and went home mad.

With the Trump Party in power on the other hand, Putin's reaction WILL be to escalate his war tactics immediately, only because Putin knows that Trump's spoken agenda is to pull the USA out of world conflicts such as Israel/Gaza to end that war immediately and to return the USA to what it once was in the 1930's which was an Isolationist country sitting on the sidelines, minding it's own business and only giving a rat's ass about America The Great but nobody else. That is what Make America Great Again actually means.. to return the USA to what it once was 80 years ago pre-WWII and 100 years ago post-WWI.

This is precisely how Hitler was able to partner with Mussolini of Italy when the two of them overran Europe in the 1930's, knowing the whole time that America being the Isolationist country that it was, would never give them a problem because the USA would never show up on European soil!

It wasn't until Sir Winston Churchill of UK basically shamed Roosevelt into getting the USA involved in WWII, but only achieved this by convincing Roosevelt that America would benefit financially from their involvement in WWII, did Roosevelt finally concede and entered the USA into the war two years late.

Roosevelt's decision caught the USA by surprise which resulted in most of the American soldiers sent overseas being draftees, not enlisted soldiers. The draft was imposed onto the US population immediately because after all, the USA didn't need a big military if it was to remain as an Isolationist country and now the USA got caught with it's pants down with not much of a military to speak of.

Vietnam went the same way for the USA. Approximately 60% of all American soldiers who fought in Vietnam between 1958 and 1975 were draftees, not enlisted soldier.

Isolationism (being an island unto itself) is what put the USA behind the 8-ball every time in world conflicts and it will happen again under the so-called Leadership of the Trump Party. This is because Trump believes in American Isolationism and he has no respect for America's own military.
@swirlie Well Joe “authorized” the use of these weapons. So if they are used, it’s on Biden. More important is to see what reaction and or retaliation Putin might take.
@soar2newhighs
Yes, of course Joe authorized the use of these weapons! There was never any question about it not being "on Biden".

Were you thinking that I was inferring that it would be on Trump instead?

I've already told you what I think Putin's reaction will be, so now I'll ask you the same question...

How will Putin see the use of American-supplied long-range missiles and how do YOU think he will react?

Truman was not President at that time.

Typo correction made. Truman was Roosevelt's VP during Roosevelt's unprecedented 4th term.

@swirlie Typos can be fun because they show if people are reading every word in the post.
@Diotrephes
You made your point Diotrephes, but did you understand any aspect of my post?

@soar2newhighs nobody cares how putin reacts.
He's an isolated little kleptocrat who is driving the collapse of russian society.
He and his criminal cabal are headed for the dustbin of history - and won't be missed.
@newjaninev2
Actually, you're wrong. I know that you don't care how Putin reacts, but you don't speak for the rest of the world in saying "nobody cares". Who you've described in your little rant could also be Trump because he fits the same character sketch that you've described for Putin.

@swirlie trump is putin after a lobotomy
@newjaninev2
THAT, I agree with! 🤣
