The US has quietly given Ukraine the go-ahead to launch long-range strikes against targets inside Russian territory, The Times reported on Friday, citing sources. The Pentagon has apparently changed its stance on the matter as it has become less concerned that such attacks could escalate the conflict.
According to a US defense source interviewed by the outlet, the Pentagon is now “not saying to Kiev, ‘Don’t strike the Russians [in Russia or Crimea].’
“We can’t tell them what to do. It’s up to them how they use their weapons,” he said, adding that Washington only demands that Kiev conforms to international law and the Geneva conventions when using US-supplied weapons.
However, the Pentagon has revised the evaluation of threats linked to the Ukraine conflict, particularly on whether providing Kiev with arms might trigger a direct clash between NATO and Russia, the report says.
We’re still using the same escalatory calculations but the fear of escalation has changed since the beginning,” a US official told the outlet, arguing that the calculus had changed due to “brutality the Ukrainians are being subjected to by the Russians.”
Against this backdrop, Pentagon officials are now reportedly “seriously” considering Ukraine’s requests for long-range weapons that could be used for strikes deep inside Russia. “Nothing is off the table,” a senior US defense official told The Times.
Earlier this month, Ukraine launched an attack on two Russian air bases in Ryazan and Saratov regions, both several hundred kilometers from Kiev-controlled territory, using a number of “Soviet-made” drones, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry. The raid “fatally injured” three service members, with another four being taken to hospital.
On Tuesday, following the attack, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that Washington had “neither encouraged nor enabled the Ukrainians to strike inside of Russia.”
The report comes as Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba claimed on Thursday that, while Washington and Kiev agree that Ukrainian forces will not use US-supplied weapons to attack most Russian territory, this does not apply to Crimea.
In September, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned the US that, should it provide Kiev with long-range weapons, this would cross a “red line” and make America “a direct party to the conflict.”

Come on Putin, get your dick out and slam the piano keys? Or maybe you could do something productive, & strike Ramstein?
I am pissed at Putin. If anyone is reading this in Moscow, please put it about, that now would be a really good time to put a really violent man in power.
You see, it’s fine being the greatest statesman of our age, its also great that he’s really cool, but this failure to act appropriately, such as proper balanced responses to UK terror attacks, it just can’t carryon.
Putin must act, or he should be removed, so that someone else can get the job done.

I can’t think of a better way to affirm and impart validity to the original Russian reasoning for initiating this conflict over their security fears by NATO placing missile batteries on the Ukrainian/Russian border. Another thought would be: how better to escalate the matter?
Carl Jones–don’t be angry at Putin; he is doing his job for Yid-man and getting plenty of honky killed

““We can’t tell them what to do. It’s up to them how they use their weapons,” he said, adding that Washington only demands that Kiev conforms to international law and the Geneva conventions when using US-supplied weapons.”
Since when has the US of Ziowhores ever followed international law, or followed any sane morality in their unjustified, illegal, and immoral invasions based on false flags in which they killed their own citizens to get their wars on?
Did the Ziowhore Amerika follow international law when they used illegal depleted uranium rounds in Fallejah? Did the USA whore of Wrathchild banking follow the rules when they nuked the trade towers to start the wars against the Muslims?
Is the USA following international law transferring it’s entire arsenal of W-54 nuclear warheads to Israel then demanding Iran not have a peaceful nuclear power program?
The PentaCON spokesman’s hypocrisy is outstanding and something we have come to expect in the Jewmedia and on the Jewtube, as everything they say is a bald face lie.
(((Typical American poofters))).
USA is Jew Masonic creation ..spreading democracy since 1776….
Always cheering on others to fight (((wars))) from a safe distance 1000’s of miles away….
Anyway…adds more credence to my thesis Putin , NATO and USA are all in (((cahoots)))
……..this has all the credibility of a pro wrestling match. The goal is to wipe out/remove Ukrainians and take over the land mass.
@RAH
i am surely no friend of islamic slave holders .
but what had USA for important commercial
reasons in 18th century to start war with the
northafrican slaveholders ? did they want free
some american seamen ? or was it only big
stick politics Teddy Roosevelt later was famed for ?
surely they did it not out of sympaty for our
european slaves in nortafrican hands .
I don’t understand why Russia is not arming people in Syria – e.g. with some of the U.S. supplied Javelin and Stinger missile systems captured in Ukraine – so that they can attack and drive out the U.S. forces that are illegally occupying Syrian territory.
Although Ukraine has the largest synagogue in the world, Ukraine’s wiki page under religions doesnt state judaism. (((They))) dont want you to know Ukraine is full of jews, keep sending more free sheckles!
