Quote:U.S. Altered Himars Rocket Launchers to Keep Ukraine From Firing Missiles Into Russia
Experts debate whether long-range missiles for Ukraine would deter Putin or widen war

WASHINGTON—The U.S. secretly modified the advanced Himars rocket launchers it gave Ukraine so they can’t be used to fire long-range missiles into Russia, U.S. officials said, a precaution the Biden administration says is necessary to reduce the risk of a wider war with Moscow.

The U.S. since June has supplied Ukrainian forces with 20 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System launchers, or Himars, and a large inventory of satellite-guided rockets with a range of almost 50 miles. Those rockets, known as the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, or GMLRS, have been used to strike Russian ammunition depots, logistics supplies and command centers on Ukrainian territory.

But the Himars launchers have a unique feature intended to prevent them from becoming even more potent battlefield systems. U.S. officials say the Pentagon has modified the launchers so they can’t fire long-range missiles, including the U.S.’s Army Tactical Missile System rockets, or ATACMS, which have a range of nearly 200 miles.

What wars have they gotten us in? Iraq, Afghanistan, then Iraq again were all Republicans.

You must not have counted the votes to go to war, because there were plenty of dem votes. Keep in mind, on the way out of office Clinton told Bush that Saddam was making a WMD. Both Clinton's, once again, said it, when we went to war with Iraq.


You also have Libya that your boy Obama attacked with Hillary because they were going to do whatever was necessary to stop the Gold Dinarii from being added to the currency list.

A country with free water/utilities/medical/school/college/ subsidized gas/ housing and many other perks.... but ole Hilary said humanitarian reasons...

nope, just oil and gold, same as all ways.


Did you know Obama bombed more countries than both the Bush's combined? Bet your ole liberal teacher didn't tell you about that one huh?

My boy? I dislike both parties equally. I'm just tired of people acting like the Democrats are any different than the Republicans. Or Trump is any different than any other President. My point in my response you quoted is that both parties have put us in wars, it isn't something that is a single party.

Trump resided over 6 peace deals in the ME during his term. He was a peace maker. On record as being against war for decades. Had no "donors" that made money off of war.

I have stated it many times, I do not like Trump, but... if any other president in the history (or future) of America is involved with a peace treaty signed between Israel and any Arab country, they would win a nobel peace prize. Obama got one and didnt do anything except get elected.

As much money that’s being thrown around, I would imagine The Big Guy would settle for 2.5%.

Liberals used to hate war. They used to hate the establishment. They used to hate Wall Street. They used to hate the DOJ-FBI. They used to hate money in politics. They used to hate the 1%ers. So what happened?
