NEW: The White House is continuing to block the use of the UK made firepower despite giving the greenlight for their own ATACMS to be used on limited strikes on Russian territory.

Multiple sources have confirmed British efforts have yet to convince Joe Biden to give the go ahead for our donated weaponry which has a longer range, but requires US tech for guidance.

PM Sir Keir Starmer has been lobbying Biden for months at the behest of the Ukrainians to relax the block on Storm Shadows - with No10 repeatedly refused to be drawn on Monday whether that goal had been reached.

But privately government figures admit that the American veto on Storm Shadows remains in place.

[Денис Казанський @den_kazansky]

Man without leg, dead and wounded people on the street.

Odessa today. Europe today.

Remember this, when next time somebody will tell you about great russian culture

[Chief Rabbi Of Ukraine Moshe Azman @RabbiUkraine]

My heart is breaking... russian army has hit a residential building in Odesa with ballistic missiles. Bodies of passers-by lie on the road...

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Russians just sent ballistic missiles with cluster munitions warheads to the center of Odesa.

Missles were either North Korean or Russian Iskander.

[Денис Казанський @den_kazansky]

Dead people lie on the streets of Odessa. Russia just targeted a residential area with missiles.

This is what Putin's response to all phone calls and peace proposals looks like

[Денис Казанський @den_kazansky]

The Russian army attacked a residential building in Odessa with a ballistic missile.

There are dead and wounded civilians.

Terror every day. These are selective attacks on civilians

It has long become a staple of popular culture to bring up Neville Chamberlain whenever someone talks about appeasing an aggressor and mindlessly catering to their whims, which inevitably lead to a catastrophic war.

And yes, it’s true to an extent, but in reality, the situation of 1938–1939 was far from being as black and white as it’s often portrayed today. With our hindsight, it’s obvious that Winston Churchill, with his “blood, toil, and tears” approach to standing up to Hitler, had no reasonable alternative.

But, to be fair, Chamberlain also had his own serious reasons for pursuing the policy he did. And when his policy ultimately failed, he had the courage to honor Britain’s allied commitments to Poland and, together with France, declare war on Hitler.

Yes, his policy was a failure and led to September 1, 1939, but to simply accuse him of stupidity and betrayal is a gross oversimplification.

And what do we have today? Once again, Europe faces the largest aggressive war since Hitler.

So, who should we be calling Chamberlain here?

Some are so terrified of taking the initiative or making any bold move that might upset their voters. Others have grown so complacent from decades of peace that they prefer to bury their heads in the sand and worry about gas prices instead of recognizing that totalitarian Russia is waging a war of conquest in Europe and aligning with other dictatorial regimes worldwide to challenge the West.

Still others are outright corrupted by the Kremlin, openly working to undermine efforts to resist the aggressor while salivating over Ukrainian territories.

And in the media, some shamelessly take money for their hysterical cries about a WWIII that is certainly resulting from Ukraine defending itself, while others are so mired in conspiracy theories, infantilism, and petty politicking that they have no qualms about smearing Ukraine, calling it the aggressor and blaming it for the war waged against it.

And all of this is happening in the unique historical circumstances where Ukraine is fighting the aggressor on its own soil, without a single American, French, or German soldier deployed to fight for Ukraine—nor is anyone asking for that.

What Ukraine is asking for is weapons, ammunition, and support to keep its economy afloat. In return, it takes on the task of defeating and containing Russian aggression so that no Western country has to send its soldiers to war.

But oh no, what am I saying���these days it’s all about mass conspiracy theories about a “we must accept Putin's realities, it's all a proxy war orchestrated by the military-industrial complex using Ukrainian Nazis with biolabs and money laundering schemes, where Putin is somehow right because Zelensky once danced in a music video, so this is none of our business, and also fuck Ukraine, just fucking die already, we don’t want WWIII, and Bucha was staged anyway.”

This is the disgrace of our modern world on a historic scale, and we have no right to judge Neville Chamberlain for anything.

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

@RepMTG Putin just launched one of the deadliest attacks on Ukraine killing many civilians.

This is long overdue!

Putin started WW3 by invading Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 while the US is upholding their end of the Budapest Memorandum which Russia has broken!

Facts!!!!!

The most important thing about Xi Jinping ordering the PLA to be ready for a Taiwan invasion by 2027 is this:

Come 2027 (or later), whenever he asks 'Are we ready?' the only possible answer he will receive is 'Yes, sir!’

Luck Putin, he may well launch a war he is not ready for

[Decker Eveleth @dex_eve]

The discussion of escalation is a little treacherous because there is what we see (ATACMS strikes, DPRK troops, etc.) that are the escalations themselves, but we don't know why those decisions are made and we don't see what is happening in the diplomatic channels. Too often we assume that what we can see publicly is the whole story and that can lead us into some very analytically murky waters.

Nobody gives a fuck what Putin wants or thinks. Russia needs to be defeated.
