Brandon Reverses Course in NY Times Op-Ed, Will Deliver Rockets to Ukraine

President Joe Biden announced he will reverse course and send advanced rocket systems to Ukraine in an op-ed published by the New York Times Tuesday evening.
The president was criticized from all angles Monday after he said he would not provide the embattled country with rocket systems capable of striking inside Russia. However, he wrote in the Times on Tuesday that he will.
“The invasion Vladimir Putin thought would last days is now in its fourth month,” Biden wrote. “The Ukrainian people surprised Russia and inspired the world with their sacrifice, grit and battlefield success. The free world and many other nations, led by the United States, rallied to Ukraine’s side with unprecedented military, humanitarian and financial support.”
Biden said the U.S. is committed to seeing Ukraine free, and will act to see it accomplish its goals on the battlefield. He added:
"As President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has said, ultimately this war “will only definitively end through diplomacy.” Every negotiation reflects the facts on the ground. We have moved quickly to send Ukraine a significant amount of weaponry and ammunition so it can fight on the battlefield and be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table."
"That’s why I’ve decided that we will provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine."
Biden also said, “Vladimir Putin did not expect this degree of unity or the strength of our response. He was mistaken. If he expects that we will waver or fracture in the months to come, he is equally mistaken.”
The reversal comes a day after the president was criticized for denying Ukraine access to high-tech, long-range rockets.
MSNBC analyst and former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul was among those who criticized Biden. During an interview with Katy Tur, he called a decision not to arm Ukraine “a losing strategy.”

That’s a shift.

This sounds like a statement from a military government. All that’s missing is the word “glorious.”

Better hope that diplomatic solution is reached in the next few months. It gets cold in Europe.

Tomorrow Biden will announce a new $700 mil security package for Ukraine that includes High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, known as HIMARS, which have a range of about 40 miles. A senior official says they received assurances Ukraine won’t use to strike targets in Russia.

This fricker is determined to provoke Putin to launch some nuclear missiles our way.

I’m sure these “advanced” rocket systems will come with very good instructions. The Russians will probably knock them out as soon as they cross the border.
The left were worried about Trump getting us into a nuclear war.

The rights of Ukrainians to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Pelosi and company must have secured additional laundering centers that need protecting during their visit.

Wouldn't surprise me that FJB declares war right before the election; try to play the unity card.

Its inferior to what the Ukrainians are already using. And only 414 were ever built, so we can’t send many.
I don’t think anyone asked the question, what military aid does Ukraine need in order to win, and built a package around that answer.
Instead, we’re just sending older equipment in dribs and drabs, under the general principle that it will extend the war, and enable the Ukrainians to inflict more casualties than they otherwise would.
