President Volodymyr Zelensky on Aug. 31 called on the U.S., the U.K., France, and Germany to allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike targets in Russia.

“I appeal to the U.S., the U.K., France and Germany. We need the ability to genuinely and fully defend Ukraine and Ukrainians. We require both: permissions for long-range capabilities and your long-range shells and missiles,” Zelensky said in his evening address.

. . .

Kyiv has long argued that restrictions on the use of long-range weapons are stifling its war effort, while Washington claimed that allowing Ukraine to hit deep into Russian territory with its weapons could escalate the conflict.

        Russia needs to get fucked in a way its current state is completely fractured and it has to make an entirely clean break with its past. It can be done, it seems the political will need only precipitate which can only occur as the Fuck you, got mine folks are increasingly affected. Narcissistic people and methods need to be quarantined so their deathblood can be expressed and any final matters ensured carriage
