O/T:- Betting odds for US Election [The USA Politics Thread]

Well, there's a difference between equipping Ukraine with the ability to defend its territory and equipping them with long-range precision weapons to fire deep into Russian territory. My point is the latter seems like a dangerous escalation, and I don't understand the timing or benefit of it - unless it's to cause as big a mess as possible for the new president to clear up.

If you disagree then fine.

A bit like Russia using Iranian drones and North Korean ammunition then? (not on the same size scale agreed but the hypocrisy from Vlad the Invader is staggering). And the recent escalation by both sides is to give a stronger hand in any negotiations, you always negotiate from a position of strength.
