U.S. Lifts Key Restriction on Ukraine's Use of Western Long-Range Missiles

After the article Trump denied it

>After this article was published, Trump posted on social media that “the U.S.A.’s approval of Ukraine being allowed to use long range missiles deep into Russia is FAKE NEWS! The U.S. has nothing to do with those missiles, wherever they may come from, or what Ukraine does with them!”

I thought it wasn't like him to take any actual action against Russia.

This is how you get WW3

Or prevent WW3. Hitler could be stopped in Czechoslovakia.

Hitler didn't have 10,000 nuclear warheads atop hundreds of ICBMs and other delivery platforms. The stakes are a tad bit higher here.

You still looking at small part of the picture. Big part of the picture is confrontation of Western World and allies against China, Russia, Iran. The winning strategy could be to weaken enemy now: strike on Russia military/oil infra, and not wait until they will become stronger and will be way more bold in their moves which could lead to WW3 with much higher chance.

That's what concerns me. The Kremlin knows those missiles are useless without the US giving targeting information. We're delivering the missiles, setting them up, pointing them in the right direction, and then telling them "You push this button to fire it -- we didn't do it, you did."

But hey, I guess I'm an asshole for not wanting my homeland to be directly attacked because of the overt and manifest assistance we are providing to kill Russians in Russia.

If that’s what it takes to put old authoritarians under control, I support it.

If the only alternative to World War 3 is to allow Putin to invade whatever country he likes, then World War 3 has already started. It only takes one side to start a war.

Trump restricts missile tech - “Trump is in bed with Putin”

Trump de-restricts missile tech - “Trump is starting WW3”

Will we ever be able to have an objective conversation about Trump’s foreign policy, or is Trump Derangement Syndrome a forever disorder?

We should call Trump Derangement Syndrome something else. Pretending only some people are deranged is asinine.
