‘The idea is really just to disrupt the future of Trump’s presidency’
By J.M. Phelps
The Biden administration’s sudden lame-duck approval of Ukraine using U.S. longer-range missiles to attack deep inside Russia leaves many scratching their heads in disbelief, some even speculating that the outgoing president seems intent on starting World War III – all to disrupt the coming administration of Donald Trump.
With only two months remaining in office, Biden has authorized Ukraine to use Lockheed Martin’s Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) rockets, which have a range of up to 190 miles and are designed to strike deep into enemy territory.
And indeed, for the first time in the 33-months-long war, Ukraine is firing the U.S.-supplied missiles deep into Russia.
In response, Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, has signed a new nuclear doctrine stipulating that any attack on Russia, if that attack is supported by a nation with nuclear weapons, could serve as grounds for a nuclear response from Russia.
In other words, the use of nuclear weapons in the Russia-Ukraine war has suddenly become potentially much more imminent.
Putin’s new nuclear policy came one day after Biden authorized Ukraine to attack Russia with American-made longer-range missiles.
