Rolstop, you are incorrect. The weapons included in the $61b US aid package, which Biden signed into law in late April, can be used against Russian soldiers, but only if they are on occupied Ukrainian territory - including Crimea - which Russia has occupied since 2014.

However, the Biden admin does not want to see them used against Russian soldiers in Mother Russia itself.  I know Ryu hates this restriction and I don't like it either Ryu, but I believe it is in place because they are worried Putin may play the nuclear card as a possible Russian response - one that could result in Russia using tactical nukes against the Ukrainian army via nuclear armed artillery shells or small nuclear armed missiles.

I am as scared of Russia using nukes as I am scared of Microsoft buying Nintendo. Obviously, in theory this is a possibility, but realistically, it's not going to happen.

This war has gone on for more than two years now, so there's plenty of evidence for what Russia says if X happens, and what Russia does when X does indeed happen. The USA is weak.
