US President Joe Biden to provide Ukraine with longer-range rockets in war with Russia

"The United States is providing Ukraine with high mobility artillery rocket systems that can accurately hit targets as far away as 80 km (50 miles)
after Ukraine gave "assurances" they will not use the missiles to strike inside Russia, senior administration officials said."

That is such a FUBAR’d thing to do !!

Ukraine Needs to be able to strike at Belgorod at the least ! Interrupt supply lines and

fuel depots ! Artillery striking positions and rail lines !

I’m glad we are finally sending some heavy artillery , but the limitations are mind numbing .

I Understand the US stance , it still irks .

It’s like : ‘Here , I see someone is killing you . I’ll give you this gun but you cannot shoot them ,

only in the leg - maybe’ .

And when your Life depends on it - will you actually Really abide by those rules !?

Biden trying to ride two horses with one a*se , trying to ‘help’ Ukraine while

‘trying’ to not upset the Bear . It’s futile . If Rus wants to , they Will take this as meddling

and the fallout will be same as if he had not put any limitations on .

Halfa*sed , bloodless .

Back home we say : either sh*t or get off the pot . Half measures rarely work !

All that said , and notwithstanding my reservations , I’m glad finally ( When !? ) some

heavy artillery might actually arrive in Ukraine — too little too late ?

I think prudence is best, to maintain justification and solidarity of supportive nations
and also to deprive the Russian propaganda machine of any victim rhetoric
