The Joe Biden administration is allowing Ukraine to use long-range Army Tactical Missile System weapons that can strike deep into Russian territory, but they didn’t brief incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz about it.
That’s what the outgoing Congressman turned Donald Trump appointee told Fox and Friends Monday, regarding the current White House countering an influx of North Korean soldiers with improved weaponry on Russia’s side of the territorial dispute by giving Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself his own improved weaponry.
“It’s another step up the escalation ladder and nobody knows where this is going. North Korea is unleashing ballistic missiles, artillery, now tens of thousands of soldiers. The administration responds by lifting this restriction. North Korea sends more soldiers, South Korea is now saying it may get engaged, China is buying oil from Iran for pennies of the dollar. Iran is using that to send missiles and drones to Russia that is then hitting Ukrainian critical infrastructure, so this is a development, but it’s a tactical one,” Waltz said Monday morning.
During the same interview, the soon-to-be National Security adviser contrasted the incoming administration’s approach to that of the outgoing one.
“President Trump is talking strategy here. How do we get both sides the table to the end this war? What’s the framework for a deal and who’s sitting at that table?”
Trump said as a candidate that he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine in a single day. These escalations from Ukraine and Russia will complicate that promise’s fulfillment.
Likewise, the President-elect hailed the smoothness of the transition recently from the Biden administration. But this surprise move, one that will escalate the conflict ahead of a possible negotiated outcome, suggests the change of administrations may offer some more surprises despite the positive rhetoric publicly.

” But this surprise move, one that will escalate the conflict ahead of a possible negotiated outcome. . .”
There is one president who wants peace in the Ukraine, and it AIN’T Biden. The demented old goof might just get us into actual state-level conflict with Russia in order to cement his legacy. What’s Kammy got to say about this? Is she still in Washington? Is she still in the country?

When Trump causes a Putin to withdraw on January 21st, as he said he will, come back then and talk.

Trump is talking about Ukrainian capitulation. You know, what Putin wants. If only Vlad didn’t have that kompromat on Trump. But he does so Trump will never stop kowtowing to Putin.

And trump giving greenlight to Israel for attacking nuclear facilities in Iran doesn’t increase tensions and expand war?!
I hate neocons, but at least they are hawkish in all situations and don’t have double standards, but MAGA support hawkish policies in one case, but wary of it in another case.

has this man Mr. Waltz been fully approved and vetted to be the next National Security Advisor? If not, why would anyone brief him on what is going on?

The same people who have no problem with Israel attacking nuclear facilities of Iran and tell us biden prevents Israel from attacking nuclear facilities of Iran, suddenly become wary of increasing tensions and calling him reckless for letting Ukraine what it wants to do. This double standard is disgusting. In the case of Iran and Israel, they support increasing the tension, but in this case, they are wary of that. Only because Russia has nuclear weapons and Iran hasn’t. It shows they respect nuclear weapons, and if Iran has nuclear weapons, they’ll react to Iran like they react to Russia.

This particular missile system’s GPS-based targeting is 100% dependent upon U.S. cooperation. Someone in the U.S. military set the targets in the system, and prior to launch – allowed those missiles access to the U.S. satellites to guide them to the target. The U.S. military is participating in attacks upon Russian, which goes FAR beyond our traditional proxy war engagement with Russia. IMHO, this is the Biden Administration (whoever is making decisions, that is) seeking to hand Trump as big a mess as possible on its way out. Hopefully, Russia won’t nuke a U.S. base or aircraft carrier in the region to make a point.
