Austin: Missile strikes deep inside Russia will not change the course of the war

[ThirdTerm]

The Biden administration rejected Ukraine's request to use US missiles on targets deep inside Russia. Biden still needs to keep a close eye on Zelensky, who could trigger another world war with his aggressive moves against Russia.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters after a meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine's Defense in Ramstein that Washington's position on the impossibility of using American weapons against targets deep inside recognized Russian territory has not changed. He said that this cannot turn the tide of the war in Ukraine's favor.

Ukraine and its supporters point out that one of Russia's most effective weapons in abundance is guided bombs launched from aircraft over Russian territory. But Austin points out that Russia has moved its entire stockpile of such bombs beyond the range of ATACMS rockets.

Austin also pointed out that Ukraine has its own significant capabilities, including drones, to attack targets on Russian territory, and well beyond the range of Storm Shadow missiles, Reuters reports.

It sounds as if the U.S administrations on both sides are anticipating and hence have accepted that a peace deal will be negotiated after the election.

Does this Austin guy realize what a dangerous game he is playing with a U.S. sourced missile strike inside Russia? Factor in a mentally impaired president with his trembling thumb on the nuclear button and it's a recipe for the freaking end of the world over a crooked little country. Strangely the mainstream media seems unconcerned.
