Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US long-range missiles to strike inside Russia
President Biden has authorized Ukraine's military to use U.S.-provided long-range missiles on targets inside Russian territory, senior U.S. officials confirmed to Fox News on Sunday.
The senior U.S. official said the weapons will mostly focus on the Kursk region of Western Russia. The decision was first reported by The New York Times.
According to the official, Biden's decision was spurred by the Russian decision to invite 10,000 North Korean soldiers into the fight against Ukraine in Kursk. A second official told Fox that it is unclear if Biden plans to approve the use of the missiles outside the Kursk region.

Our Take: Joe Biden is a lame duck president, but that doesn’t render him entirely obsolete. Lame duck presidents can, and have, done lasting damage before they leave office.
There are numerous accounts of scandalous pardons and political clean-up jobs during the lame duck period, but there are also damn near treasonous acts conducted by bitter election losers.
Consider Benjamin Harrison and the panic of 1893.
Harrison decided to torpedo the economy to harm his successor, he used friendly media to run doomsday editorials and scare off foreign investment, and he directed the US Treasury to spend the surplus. As a result, the stock market crashed with only eight days left before Harrison left office, and Grover Cleveland was inaugurated. The Panic of 1893 resulted in a severe economic depression that continued through 1897. Cleveland was blamed — an historic injustice considering his predecessor tanked the economy to punish Americans for voting in his opponent.
Notably, Cleveland, like Trump, served two terms with a “pause” in the middle.
Fast forward to 2024, and lame duck Joe Biden is green-lighting attacks on Russia, further provoking a world wide conflict.
Consider:
“It has also been suggested that Kyiv should agree not to pursue NATO membership for 20 years, a stipulation that critics of this plan argue kowtows to Putin.”
Note the framing of the writer here, suggesting that delaying Ukraine’s ability to seek NATO membership is “kowtowing” to Putin. Ukraine joining NATO puts NATO on Russia’s border. This will be unacceptable to Russia, whether in 20 years or 120 years. This is escalation of a massive geopolitical conflict by a lame duck president.
They want war and, just as in Harrison’s day, it appears they want to punish Americans for voting in Trump.
Harming Americans because you lost an election, while holding the most powerful office in the world, is treason.

Moscow Issues Warning of Retaliation if Ukraine Uses Western Long-Range Missiles Against Russian Territory
Moscow has cautioned of an “appropriate response” should Ukraine deploy Western-supplied long-range missiles against Russian territory. This warning came hours after Biden authorized Kyiv to conduct such strikes.
Russia’s foreign ministry issued a statement on Monday, declaring:
“Kyiv’s use of long-range missiles to attack our territory would represent the direct involvement of the United States and its satellites in hostilities against Russia, as well as a radical change in the essence and nature of the conflict … Russia’s response in such a case will be appropriate and palpable.”
According to briefings provided to U.S. media, the missile usage by Ukraine is reportedly restricted to targeting areas such as the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces staged an incursion into Russian territory over the summer. — Badlands News
Our Take: So Putin has come out and reaffirmed that if the US sends these long-range missiles to Ukraine, he will erase Kiev from existence, and likely also nuke London and DC, among other places.
It must be stressed that Vladimir Putin is not the unreasonable actor here. It is the sociopaths in DC who are the unhinged actors, desperate to kill as many people as they possibly can before Trump returns to office.
Meanwhile, other NATO nations—such as Germany—are not endorsing this move.
It's worth noting that Russia has sanctioned President Trump's forthcoming Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and has no plans of lifting those sanctions until the US sanctions against Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, are lifted.
China also imposed sanctions on Rubio back in 2019 for criticizing its handling of Hong Kong protesters. Rubio will be the first Secretary of State to face sanctions by China, undermining the argument that it is the CCP that controls the US government. (It must be another transnational crime syndicate...)
On top of it all, CNN is now openly advocating for the appointment of Hulk Hogan to Rubio's soon-to-be-empty Senate seat.
Please take a moment to absorb that information, and understand that if this happens, TrumpaMania is heading to DC, and will be running wild, brother!
