President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.
Can’t blame only him considering the fact that Russia does nothing against it when the US is know for escalation.
It’s not good to blame the victim but when the victim does have the power to do something about it but does nothing it just makes things worse for everyone else as the agressor will take it as an invitation and double down against them and everyone else too.
I guess we will see where this leads us but I’m not sure this path is as good as one that had some resistance.
I can understand Russia’s reticence, given that the U.S. is always foaming at the mouth to do something horrifically evil and aggressive, and the U.S. will fucking consider a pigeon landing on a NATO commander’s head to be a Russian plot. But you’re right in that Russia in hindsight should have gone more tit for tat.
