    This is missing the important nuance, that the allies just didn’t want certain weapons to be used on russian homeland. AFAIK it was always okay for Ukraine to use other weapons (eg. their own drones), which they did successfully, many times.

    I suspect the allies didn’t want russia to be forced to develop better countermeasures against western weapon systems or didn’t want pics of German tanks on their way to moscow again. It could cause a lot of trouble for everyone.

        Forget german tanks making way to moscow by itself, I’m now shitting myself thinking of the ramifications of the giant-ass hole Israel’d have blown through the caucuses to be beelining it over land!

        The Jewish Homeland argument has gone full irredentism and now we’ve got a revived Khazar Khaganate!

      Nearly everyone on lemmy is missing nuance. That’s kind of the theme here.
