Pentagon Has Blocked Ukraine's Long-Range Missile Strikes on Russia

Only defeated entity here is US arms industry. Ukrainians are having their own long range weapons FP-1 to FP-5 (Flamingo). This stupid behavior is sending signal to everyone else that US industry is unreliable and should be absolutely avoided.

USA is doing exactly same mistake as Swiss did at the beginning of the war when they refused to allow use of Gepard ammunition in Ukraine. Rheinmetall bypassed them by setting up factory in Germany and European stopped buying weapons from Swiss arms industries as a response https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/foreign-affairs/european-nation...

Putin invaded Ukraine with a view to conquering Ukraine.

As far as can be seen, it seems this remains his goal.

It seems unlikely that being nice to Putin will lead to him giving this up, and more, returning the territory, men, woman and children abducted from Ukraine.

Donald seems totally clueless about how to handle this situation; he seems on the face of it to give up all leverage, and then to pander to Putin.

I remember a British Ambassador writing an assessment of Donald, not a public document but which was leaked, where the Ambassador wrote that Donald "radiates insecurity".

Perhaps what we see here is that insecurity, when faced with an aggressive, violent man, Putin.

Why is the USA so eager to help Russia? Almost makes you wonder what kompromat Putin holds.
