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.

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

    Tbh we should escalate the war.

    If you invade my friend’s house and/or hurt his wife/dog/kids all rules are off imo. I’m gonna cut your brake lines, burn your parent’s house and poison your water supply bro.

    Accusations of escalation should be met with a bold face abso-fucking-lutely. The fuck is with this tattletale bullshit

      It is too a projection. They import shells, weapons and troops from Iran, NK, Africa, India, etc while (a) saying to everyone that lifting existing bans on imported systems is an escalation against them and (b) feeding their loyal listeners with myths about EU countries sending troops of mercenaries since the middle of 2022 and what not. Stopping by the local news broadcasts and headlines makes me wonder how deep the echo chamber really is.
