Has little to do with trump really, majority of deep and middle strike systems are now 'homegrown' so third-parties have little say about their usage.

It’s only now because their manufacturing is ready. They could have done this last year with HIMARS but the demented rapist had to do his putin puppet act.

For me, behind Paywall. I can read the teaser though: "Putin gambled that the West would lose its nerve, and Ukraine would always be held on a short leash by its friends. That leash has snapped"

Go back to Joe Biden. He promised that America would stand with Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, and he sent more than $66bn in military aid. That was welcome. But it came with a crippling condition. In return for American weapons, Washington demanded that Ukraine do nothing to “escalate”.

Basically when the US was sending money Ukraine couldn't attack effectively, then the orange fart of the seal stopped sending money, allowing Ukraine to strike Russian oil refineries and take the war to Putler's doorstep.
