Biden Considering Striking Russia
Timothy Birdnow
Joe Bide is seeking to dangerously escalate with Russia by considering allowing U.S. weapons to be used inside of Russia.
Yes, the crazy old crank is looking to make real war with the world's largest nuclear power.
From the folks who strangled Liberty with Darkness (the Washington Post):
Are American and European cities worth a few square miles of Ukraine?
But then Biden needs a big victory to be re-elected; war is asbolutely crucial to his political fortunes.
And that's all he cares about.

Yes, the crazy old crank is looking to make real war with the world's largest nuclear power.
From the folks who strangled Liberty with Darkness (the Washington Post):
To combat Russia’s advances in Ukraine, President Biden is considering two tough new countermeasures: punishing China for supplying key technology to Moscow and lifting limits on Ukrainian use of U.S. short-range weapons to attack inside Russia.
These moves would represent a significant escalation of Biden’s carefully calibrated policy of supporting Ukraine while seeking to avoid direct confrontation with Russian President Vladimir Putin or his key ally, China’s Xi Jinping. The fact that such moves are being considered now shows the administration’s growing concern about Ukraine’s vulnerability on the battlefield.
[...]
The loudest call for strikes inside Russia came this week from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. "The front line is more or less the border line, and if you cannot attack the Russian forces on the other side of the front line because they are on the other side of the border, then of course you really reduce the ability of the Ukrainian forces to defend themselves,” Stoltenberg told a NATO parliamentary meeting Monday in Sofia, Bulgaria.
"The right to self-defense includes the right to strike legitimate military targets outside Ukraine,” Stoltenberg added. The NATO parliamentary group meeting in Sofia joined him in endorsing "lifting some restrictions on the use of weapons.”
We might be nearing another inflection point in Ukraine. As China leans harder into its partnership with a newly dominant Russia, Biden is weighing whether to deepen his alliance with Kyiv. This would bring new risks, but it would make sense if it could bolster a wobbly Ukraine and rebalance the negotiating table, which is where this war must eventually be settled

He'll start WWIII in all probability Dana. Putin will have to respond in kind.
