To justify its decision the Biden administration even ‘leaked’ an intelligence assessment which warned of allowing such:

Intelligence agencies concluded that granting Ukraine’s request to use Western missiles against targets deep in Russia could prompt forceful retaliation while not fundamentally changing the course of the war.

Reality asserts itself like a brick to the face. lmao

    The wunderwaffen discourse in liberal media has been so tedious. Russia has had this deep strike capability since the start, and however painful, it demonstrably is not enough to buckle a country and magically end the war. So why the fuck would it work the other way around you brainless dipshits?!

      Tbf Russia only aimed at military installations and only escalated towards infrastructure after one year of fighting when Ukraine started doing terror attacks. Liberal media assumes Ukraine would use deep strikes as is western military doctrine - killing as many civilians as possible.

        So, even less effectively from a military standpoint. This shit has never worked - not in ww2, not in Korea, or Cambodia, nor in Vietnam. Fucking fascists are born losers
