Ukraine hit a Russian weapons arsenal with US-made ATACMS missiles that it fired across the border for the first time, according to two US officials, in a major escalation on the 1,000th day of war.

Summary

Ukraine fired US-made ATACMS missiles into Russia’s Bryansk region, marking the first time Ukraine has used these longer-range weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia.

The attack comes after the Biden administration authorized Ukraine to use these weapons against targets inside Russia.

In response, President Putin updated Russia’s nuclear doctrine, labeling aggression from non-nuclear states supported by nuclear powers as a joint attack on Russia.

    I think he know Trump is going to help Russia in every way possible, so he might as well let Ukraine get since more serious hits in now while they can

      I think he’s delivering on his promises to the MIC to maximize the money they invested in him before Trump enters office. If he gets us wrapped up in a conflict that requires deployment of US troops, so much the better for the stockholders depending on the Federal Government to get us as involved as possible.

      Trump, while he did it for the wrong reasons, did pull the US military out of foreign wars during his first term. I imagine Raytheon and Boeing and Lockheed definitely do not want that.

        Lol, my dude… You do remember he also ended the nuclear agreement with Iran and then assassinated their most idolized military commander?

        The pretext of Israel’s ethnic cleansing is to rope America into a hot war with Iran. Trump is and has always been great for the mic.

        Such a bad take.

          I recall, yes.

          It feels very odd to watch an American president do correct things for the wrong reasons. It’s much more familiar to watch people like Bush, Obama, and Biden doing the wrong things for reasons that aren’t provided to the public, because the narratives given around US wars are nearly always false.

              No, I’m referring to getting us out of Afghanistan and Syria specifically.

              But you’ve noted, surely, that the US does largely support war with Iran by funneling WMD’s to Israel, right? Unless you voted Green, you explicitly lent your support to it via your ballot.

                No, I’m referring to getting us out of Afghanistan and Syria specifically.

                Oh yeah, how are the people in those two countries doing now?

                you’ve noted, surely, that the US does largely support war with Iran by funneling WMD’s to Israel, right?

                Yeah, it was pretty much guaranteed after the pull out from the nuclear deal…almost like elections have consequences.

                Unless you voted Green, you explicitly lent your support to it via your ballot.

                Lol, it’s a two party system. If you voted green you still lent your support to supporting a genocide, just in an incredibly stupid way.

                We all pay taxes to a government supporting a genocide, some of us just don’t want it to get even worse.

                  I could not care less. I’m more concerned with how people are doing here in the US.

                  Yeah, it was pretty much guaranteed after the pull out from the nuclear deal…almost like elections have consequences.

                  I’m sure feeding WMD’s to the Israelis for use against Iran won’t be problematic for that.

                  Lol, it’s a two party system. If you voted green you still lent your support to supporting a genocide

                  False. The Greens are the only party expressly opposed to helping Israel murder people at will, but you can create whatever justification you like for the support you lend to it.

                    Lol, at least you admit it.

                    I’m sure feeding WMD’s to the Israelis

                    I’m pretty sure you don’t care about that.

                    Again, I think you need to look up what a two party system is.
