The president's justified, overdue, but probably too-late authorization to Ukraine isn't pushing us toward World War 3.

Summary

President Biden recently authorized Ukraine to use longer-range U.S. missiles to strike inside Russia, marking a small but overdue escalation in the conflict.

This decision aims to disrupt Russia’s military operations and bolster Ukraine’s position, especially with the potential Trump administration favoring pro-Russian policies.

Russia’s retaliatory missile strike on Ukraine, though deadly, represents more of the same tactics.

Analysts argue Biden’s earlier caution was excessive, and calling Russia’s nuclear bluffs is strategically necessary to counter further extortion.

    Because they were slaughtering ethnic Russians in east Ukraine for years, and allowed NATO in to deploy loads of missile and troop deployments at the border. They intentionally provoked it.

      “Slaughtering ethnic Russians” cool you just made that shit up.

      “NATO moving missiles to the border” dumbass they aren’t IN NATO how the fuck would they have NATO missile emplacements. Also, even if they had, you know how a fucking border works right? It is THEIR territory they can put as many fucking missiles on their side all they want
