National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said: “There are no changes to our policy at this time. We do not encourage or allow the use of US-supplied weapons to attack Russian territory.”
France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Estonia, Poland, Finland, the Czech Republic, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Canada, and the NATO Secretary General in the same row were clearly in a hurry when they announced the “right” of the Kyiv regime to use Western weapons as they “believe” necessary.” Washington is not going to lead this process of escalation and take responsibility for the risks of transition to global confrontation and the Third World War. For now, at least.
Whether the Biden administration has “thought about it” is a question. But Russian President Vladimir Putin’s call for NATO countries to think about “what they are playing with” in the conflict with Russia, and to remember their “small territory with a dense population” should sober up some “hot heads.”
