The Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. is preparing to escalate the war with Russia by sharing intelligence that would allow Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia itself. Anonymous officials say President Trump has approved the plan and is urging NATO allies to follow suit.
Moscow is already warning of consequences. Russian envoy Vasily Nebenzya told the UN that Russia “will find a response” if the U.S. sends Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv.
This is a dangerous departure from Washington’s stated “defensive aid” strategy and carries grave risk: Russia has repeatedly vowed to treat those arming Ukraine as direct combatants. They have so far been patient as Ukraine uses U.S. weapons to attack them but for how long?
Why take this step if it won’t change the outcome of the war? It only raises the odds of a U.S.–Russia clash and no one needs that!
