to be clear, ukraine went ahead and did this anyway. And then the US lifted restrictions on this kind of stuff (idk if it was completely, but they did do it)
It’s not really arbitrary, it’s just geopolitics being geopolitics, ukraine and the rest of europe showed that russia would bluff, and we’re supporting them more now.
I guess it should make sense coming from a partially republican legislature that doesn’t even believe in the ukraine war to begin with.
they have sent other munitions from other sources fairly deep into russia, i believe the submarine dock attack was with a storm shadow missile, and at least one drone attack, the obvious one being the kremlin bombing, as well other other sourced materials they can find. They’ve been doing it whenever accessible and possible. Oh and obviously the recent offensive into russia itself.
The obvious example is the ATACMs missile, but i believe that was post restriction.
to be clear here, i’m not saying they broke the US restrictions, i’m saying they broke the “taboo” on firing into russian territory.
Ya I’m with you there, they have broken so many taboos (or as the russians call it, red lines), tanks, western help, javelins, hitting oil depos, substations (but that was retaliation I guess), …
What about a kremlin attack? I only know about a staged one with a drone from IDR like 2022?

It’s about atacms strikes deep (+100km) inside russia, what according to you did they do “anyways”?

The submarine dock was in Sevastopol, which is Russian-occupied Ukraine rather than Russia.

They attacked with long range drones rather than American weapons
I know, and that has always “been allowed”.
