Here we go again, like I've said before, I'll believe it when I see it.  I think this is more likely an internal disagreement about approval, and those who want to supply the weapons trying to put more pressure on Biden.  [url=https://x.com/NBCNews/status/1705234960037138647?s=20]

Totally agree. Like you, I'll believe it when I see it. I also expect that the administration will in advance of doing the deed put in place a public relations campaign to explain why we are doing something Biden explicitly said in so many words we would not do. When we see signs of this being done, ATACMS becomes a possibility. Until then, IMO, it can't happen.

This concern isn't just political in the US. Biden said what he said in order to reassure Russia that the US would not support Ukraine attacking Russia. Whether this definitive explicit statement was advisable is another subject. It was made, and the Russians could regard violating it as destabilizing the "agreement" between NATO and Russia limiting the scope of this war. They need to know that isn't the case, or else they may vastly overreact. This needs to be addressed.
