This is how you get WW3

That's what concerns me. The Kremlin knows those missiles are useless without the US giving targeting information. We're delivering the missiles, setting them up, pointing them in the right direction, and then telling them "You push this button to fire it -- we didn't do it, you did."

But hey, I guess I'm an asshole for not wanting my homeland to be directly attacked because of the overt and manifest assistance we are providing to kill Russians in Russia.

Or prevent WW3. Hitler could be stopped in Czechoslovakia.

Hitler didn't have 10,000 nuclear warheads atop hundreds of ICBMs and other delivery platforms. The stakes are a tad bit higher here.

You still looking at small part of the picture. Big part of the picture is confrontation of Western World and allies against China, Russia, Iran. The winning strategy could be to weaken enemy now: strike on Russia military/oil infra, and not wait until they will become stronger and will be way more bold in their moves which could lead to WW3 with much higher chance.

Trump restricts missile tech - “Trump is in bed with Putin”

Trump de-restricts missile tech - “Trump is starting WW3”

Will we ever be able to have an objective conversation about Trump’s foreign policy, or is Trump Derangement Syndrome a forever disorder?
