Arrr, the bigwig NATO leader Jens Stoltenberg be shoutin' for the U.S. to lift the chains on Ukraine's ships, so they can blast those Russian scallywags right in their own waters! Let the sea battles begin, me hearties!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg be arguing that Ukraine should be allowed to use American weapons to strike inside Russian territory, matey. Arrr! He be sayin' that it be hard for Ukraine to defend themselves if they can't use these weapons against them pesky Russians. While Stoltenberg didn't mention the U.S. or the Biden administration by name, it be clear that the U.S. has been blockin' Ukraine from usin' American weapons to target Russia.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy be pleadin' with the U.S. to lift them restrictions, and some lawmakers be supportin' this call. A bipartisan group led by House Intelligence Chairman Michael Turner be askin' the Defense Department to lift the ban on U.S. weapons use, sayin' that Ukrainians be unable to defend themselves because of the current policy.Sources be sayin' that Russia be preparin' for a big offensive in Kharkiv, and if Ukraine could use them HIMARS rocket and ATACMS missile weapons systems provided by the U.S., they may be able to reach them Russian targets. House Speaker Mike Johnson be supportin' this change in policy, sayin' that Ukraine should be able to fight back without U.S. interference. The White House be keepin' mum on the matter, arrr!
