US Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted on Wednesday that Ukrainian forces could bomb Russia with military materiel supplied by the US, something they had previously been forbidden from doing.

    “We have not encouraged or enabled strikes outside of Ukraine, but ultimately Ukraine has to make decisions for itself about how it’s going to conduct this war,” said Blinken, opening up the possibility of Western military materiel being used against Russian units located beyond Ukraine’s borders.

    This is actually pretty big. Kiev driving 2 himars to the north one with gmlrs and one atacms variant and the Belgorod region is pretty much f-ed

      I think when a senior official like this says something, it’s pretty close to being policy. It’s kind of like a “soft launch” of the policy. He wouldn’t have said it if the US didn’t plan on going through with it.

          You certainly have every right to being skeptical of the US pulling its finger out by this point in the war given the pace they’ve been going so far.

        Russia got the message loud and clear.

        Too bad. They should have heard from Mr ATACMS himself.

        It would if they announced it, but hey, maybe I’m wrong.

        I would like to be wrong about these things more often
