May 20, 2024, 05:47 AM

Former U.S. State Department Official Victoria Nuland has called for the Biden administration to facilitate strikes on Russian territory using American weapons. This marks a significant escalation in the conflict, as the Biden administration had previously stated that such actions would never occur. Nuland's statements suggest a shift towards more direct U.S. involvement in the conflict, raising concerns about potential NATO involvement and a broader war. Nuland's call for strikes inside Russia, described as 'fair game,' also hints at a desire for total war and the deployment of U.S. troops in Eastern Europe.
