President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use American made missiles to attack targets inside of Russia. Below I explain why this is a broader threat than you might suspect.
With North Korea now stationing troops along the Ukraine border, the authorization now threatens two country’s soldiers – and the first missile volley has just fired into Russia. As escalation rises, suspicion of entrance into WWIII is at a fever pitch.
With the missile authorization, Vladimir Putin does not just fear the missiles themselves, but the intelligence apparatus required to support targeting operations inside of Russia. The missiles do not work without precise data analysis from satellite imagery – provided by the United States or European Union.
The Ukraine/Russia conflict has the world watching closely as Donald Trump assumes the US Presidency in two months. Trump has promised to swiftly resolve the conflict between the Zelensky led government and Vladimir Putin. With these new authorizations, a stance of neutrality will be difficult to hedge versus the Russian president.
Will the ultimate deal maker – make the ultimate deal?
