Good. You don't get to invade another country and expect that they won't hit back. I wish Russia a very getting the fuck out of the country they don't belong in.
So those drone strikes on Moscow and mortar hits on Belgorod were not "counter strikes into Russia"?
Those weren't done with us made/designed weapons, so in the context of this... no they don't count.
Idk if you read the article but this is specifically about US provided weaponry
Pentagon spokesman Maj. Charlie Dietz said in a statement that the US “has agreed to allow Ukraine to fire US-provided weapons into Russia across where Russian forces are coming to attempt to take Ukrainian territory.”
And then there's the burning of the recruitment offices... no, wait, that was average Russians lol
Also, the ridiculous notion that they shouldn't when they are obviously need to push Russians back into their own country and keep the line there.
US congressmen and the executive office should have nothing to do with military operations and decisions what so ever, because they are a bunch of slack jawed yokels.
Shout outs to the Iraq war. Gotta be one of my favourite useless power vacuums for petro companies.
I remember the good ol' days when the Ukraine/Russia war was absolutely not a proxy war between the USA and Russia.

About 3 years too late.
Ridiculous that it wasn't allowed before.
me and most of the developing world have mixed feelings about the war in ukraine. at the very least it's white people's problems. at the limit we're pissed by the west trying to rally us behind a country that stopped black people from leaving when the invasion came and that is receiving many times the amount of help that many of us have received during catastrophes, against a country that, wicked as it can be, never really messed with our internal affairs.
that being said, this is war and russia cannot complain that it didn't knew what was coming. deal with it (spoiler: they will).
wicked as it can be, never really messed with our internal affairs.
When you realize Ukraine is the reason Russia hasn't come for other countries, it'll make more sense.
I get that you're apparently in a nation you classify as developing. The same label can be applied to America in 1200ad or Ukraine/Gaza in 2025 -- in all cases, no ability to prevent colonizers from taking the land if they choose.
Unchecked, we're all at risk. Just, developing countries are at risk of facing a war even more outbalanced than the belligerent invasion of Ukraine or Gaza.
