Biden Might Have Just Saved Ukraine
Suck it, Putin.
For almost a year now, Ukraine has been practically begging the US to allow them to use their US-supplied long-range missiles to hit Russian military targets on Russian soil. Kyiv has compared this limitation to fighting with one arm tied behind its back, as it enables Russia to build its military infrastructure on Ukraine’s border, bolstering its canon-fodder approach to warfare and swarming Ukraine’s more potent but smaller force. So, why has the US placed these limitations on Ukraine? Well, Russia recently changed its nuclear doctrine, meaning that if any NATO-supplied missiles were used against them on their territory, they would see it as provocation by NATO and justify a nuclear response against NATO. In short, this limitation was to prevent the Ukraine invasion from spiralling into a global thermonuclear war. So, when Biden lifted this restriction in the wake of Trump securing the presidency, it shocked the international political scene. But does this mean Biden has damned us to nuclear war? Well, I don’t think so. In fact, I think he has just saved Ukraine, and possibly the world, from Russia’s aggression.
