Ted Snider on the massive risks of signing off on long-range Ukrainian strikes in Russia.
"That benefit is as illusory as the first. Ukraine seems to be throwing everything into holding onto the territory it has seized in Kursk. There are reports that Kiev has made the hard to understand decision to prioritize holding onto Kursk over defending its own territory in Donbas. According to these reports, the best military equipment and the best troops are being sent into Kursk to hold onto land instead of into Donbas to reinforce the crumbling front lines. Now, the risk is being taken to throw in the long-range missiles."

This war has many perspectives and the United States has played a secondary role, which makes me think about many things and wonder if Trump's arrival will have any effect on this or will it become more hostile than it is?

As long as European involvement doesn't increase dramatically, and I'm not sure it can, then Ukraine does not have the means to continue without US support.

So when Trump takes over, the war should end?

I hope so, but I'm not counting on it. It might not be immediate, either, and either side may escalate because they perceive an opportunity to do so.

It would escalate it and then the conflict would never end.

Ukraine is becoming falsely confident, because of what others have promised them. They are hoping to draw everyone into the fight.

That's the really concerning thing. Escalation is their regime's best option.

Best option for whom?

The current administration. Losing the war and resuming elections likely means being removed from power, but elections are suspended until further notice.

Partially. The NATO military-industrial complex also likes having somewhere to sell all their weapons too.

The weapons should go to where they are most needed, not for reckless abandon.

The Biden administration has not given Ukraine carte blanche to launch missiles into Russia. The license comes with boundaries; the missiles can only be fired into the Kursk region of Russia that Ukrainian troops invaded in August.
The United States has given two reasons for their permission to use their missiles to strike the Kursk region. The Biden administration seems to have been tipped in favor of allowing the strikes by the introduction of North Korean troops into Kursk. The hoped for benefit would be deterring North Korea from sending more troops.
Yes, of course there are risks, the whole fing world turning into an ashtray!!! What sort of fing benefits could even start to weigh in against that? Psychopaths are leading our nation behind the Biden creature. When will we start making politicians take a psychopathy examination before taking office?

You are quite right, no war has brought any kind of benefit.

Well, there are benefits if you are looking to remove a population from the land they once occupied. Or if you wanted to wipe out a people. War is a great benefit for those kinds of evil purposes. THEY like it when some people are at war.

It must be beneficial to someone, otherwise it would not be done! There is someone that has great benefit by having wars going on. In the US, the “defense” manufactures benefit greatly when munitions are being expended. Note that THEY are sending munitions as fast as THEY can fake the books to send more.

Perhaps libertarians would not stick their noses in where they do not belong. They may not have gotten involved in the first place.

Most of Europe practised appeasement of Hitler. How did that work out for them? Libertarians are equally cowardly and cannot see a tyrant like Putin for what he is.
