Speaking to Fox News on Friday, Whitaker said: “We’re giving some deeper strike capabilities and most likely the Ukrainians are going to use them and that obviously is much different from what Joe Biden did.”
It is unclear what capabilities or weapons systems Whitaker was referring to. Ukraine has repeatedly requested permission to use U.S.-supplied weapons systems to hit targets farther into Russia.
The Joe Biden administration greenlit Kyiv’s use of American Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles as it left office last year. ATACMS have a range of roughly 190 miles.
Kyiv had long clamored for permission to use long-range Western weaponry far across the border. Ukraine instead turned to its homegrown drones to strike hundreds of miles into Russian territory.
The Neocon Trump Administration’s idiotic quest to escalate our way out of the strategic defeat we earned in Ukraine by re-authorizing long-range strikes into Russia is just as stupid as it is unnecessary. Hoping to force the Russians to let us freeze the conflict with a dumbass ceasefire so that Ukraine can be a constant thorn in our eye for the next century, the Neocon Trump Administration has once again set themselves up for another humiliating failure.
Russia has escalation dominance. They will handle whatever we throw at them. The only thing we can do to end this war is accept the fact that the US/EU/NATO axis of evil has lost. When that happens, and the US taxpayers’ looted treasure stops flowing, the Ukrainians can stop dying for our lost cause.
