Biden Authorizes Use of Long Range Missiles Against Russian and North Korean Troops in Ukraine The war in Ukraine has another escalation as President Biden reversed the current policy and has authorized Ukraine to use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to hit targets in Russia, U.S. officials have confirmed. The long-range missiles are called the Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS. According to Washington officials inside the Biden administration, the decision is a response to Russia’s escalation to bring North Korean troops into the war. President Biden’s decision is a major change in U.S. policy, a choice that has reportedly divided his military advisers. The move comes two months before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office. During the campaign Trump promised to limit further support for Ukraine, and negotiate with Russia in an effort to bring the war to an end. North Korea has repeatedly threatened they have long range nuclear missiles that can reach the west coast. #ukraine #russia #northkorea #usa
