“Despite all my respect for every country and, of course, for our partners in Ireland – we need permission to use long-range weapons precisely from those countries that give us this long-range weapon, it depends on them,” Zelenskyy said.
He stressed that this does not depend on a coalition of all friendly partners – it depends on “very specific states”: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
“Today, only these four countries either provide or are capable of providing the long-range weapons that can help us push the Russian Federation out of our territory and save the lives of civilians,” the president said.
Yep, and it seems like we have stopped putting riders on our weapons to Israel where it seems like they’re using them to steal land.
Yet we have them on weapons we give to Ukraine who are <checks notes> trying to get back their stolen land.
The cognitive dissonance my country subjects me to is fucking cruel and unusual.
Israel, via AIPAC, can and has ended political careers. Ukraine doesn’t have anywhere close to that kind of influence.
