In a troubling and potentially reckless move, the Biden administration has granted Ukraine gets green light to attack Russian territory with US-made weapons. This major political investment, aimed at helping Ukraine defend its second largest city, Kharkiv, carries considerable risks. President Biden has instructed his team to ensure that Ukraine can use US weapons to counter Russian forces attacking or preparing to attack Kharkiv. Although officials say the policy of banning long-range strikes on Russia remains unchanged, this development clearly increases the role of the United States in the conflict.

Protect your future with precious metals
Ukraine's request for this policy change followed Russia's recent offensive in Kharkiv. The US is now allowing Ukraine greater “flexibility” to defend against attacks near the city, deploying American weapons such as rockets and rocket launchers. These weapons can target Russian missiles, troops massing near the border and bombers launching strikes on Ukrainian soil. However, Ukraine is prohibited from using such weapons against civilian infrastructure or for long-range attacks, and the administration has stressed that US weapons should only target Russian military sites linked to the invasion of Ukraine.
A Ukrainian drone hit a radar station Monday near the border with Kazakhstan, a critical facility for detecting missile threats from Asia. This incident was confirmed by a Ukrainian intelligence officer. The following day, the governor of Russia's Krasnodar region reported the downing of a Ukrainian drone over Armavir, which is home to two radar stations. Despite these incidents, Ukraine did not report any new attacks on Tuesday. Russian media acknowledged a strike in the region that hosts the radar station, but did not provide details on the specific target. A Ukrainian military intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the launch of the drone from Ukrainian territory. On Tuesday, the Armavir governor's office announced via Telegram that air defense forces had destroyed an unmanned aerial vehicle, with no casualties or damage. The extent of the damage from Monday's strike is unknown.
A senior administration official indicated that Washington has expressed concern to Kiev about the recent attacks on three nuclear early warning radar stations in Russia. Military analysts believe Ukraine aims to overwhelm Russia's air defense capabilities by targeting these radar systems, preventing Moscow from concentrating its defenses near the border. Although these radar systems are not directly involved in the current war, the strikes serve a broader strategic purpose.
Prepper Beef: The ultimate survival food
Defense Express, a Ukrainian military think tank, pointed out that the targeted radar system is designed to detect missile threats from the south and east, including China and India. This attack follows a pattern of aggressive Ukrainian drone operations inside Russian borders, even as Ukrainian forces retreat from ground advances in the southeast. Ukraine has significantly increased its production of long-range weapons, with about 200,000 drones manufactured in the first few months of this year compared to 60,000 last year, according to the Ukrainian military's general staff.
As global tensions rise, the international community is watching nervously as Ukraine's escalating drone and missile capabilities provoke further Russian reactions. This reckless offensive, apparently sanctioned by the Biden administration, risks dragging the United States into a possible world war with Russia. Conservatives, who defend a non-interventionist position, must critically evaluate these actions and promote a more measured and moderate foreign policy.
