"We think that we should allow them to neutralize military sites where missiles are fired, from where... Ukraine is attacked," Macron said at a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. "If we tell them (Ukraine) that you are not allowed to target the place from which missiles are fired, we are in fact telling them that we are providing you with weapons but you cannot defend yourself."

Ukraine should be allowed to strike military bases on Russian territory from which Moscow carries out missile attacks against Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said on May 28, Le Monde reported.

“We think that we should allow them to neutralize military sites where missiles are fired, from where… Ukraine is attacked,” Macron said at a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “If we tell them that you are not allowed to target the place from which missiles are fired, we are in fact telling them that we are providing you with weapons but you cannot defend yourself.”

    It shocks me that this has to be stated. It’s like yelling “no hit backs” when you punch your sibling. Yeah. Strike back. Neutralize the attacker. Fuck Russia, fuck Putin, Slava Ukraini.

      Appeasement is at this point an ingrained set of neuron pathways in every human. If only history or game theory could teach us the optimal strategy for when your bigger sibling comes to fuck your day up.

        Appeasement or having Ukraine bleed Russia slowly rather than decisively kick them out. The US would rather keep Russia busy and weakened than back to their usual shenanigans. Sadly it’s the Ukrainians who have to pay the heftier price of this.

      They should be firing every rocket they have into Russia to make room for the new pallets coming in, although the GOP and Hungary are fucking with that process. Every bomb that goes off inside their border is a soldier who doesn’t have to go downrange and a reminder that the citizens can’t ignore of how they’re breaking even with a former vassal. If every russkie south of Moscow is worried about random explosions in their town, public support is gonna turn quick despite the propaganda. Slava Ukraini
