This is the text from the article which I don’t think implies Kursk only.

“The capability would most likely be used first in the Kursk region of Russia”

Oh true, I first saw this in a NYT article so assumed the SMH one had the below quote:

“The officials said that while the Ukrainians were likely to use the missiles first against Russian and North Korean troops that threaten Ukrainian forces in Kursk, Mr. Biden could authorize them to use the weapons elsewhere.”

Here’s an article from Guardian on the same topic. Seems to suggest that it is just Kursk, source is quotes as AP, NYT and Reuters

I suspect Mr Biden could only watch Ukraine having their life supporting infrastructure being illegally bombed just so many times. The sheer injustice and inhumanity perpetrated by Russia is what I’m reckoning made him act.

A few articles for you.

It’s also a clever move from Biden now that Putins mate is the president elect.

I reckon Trump may have had a hand in this. It sets him up to play the peacemaker card from a stronger hand. “I can stop the missiles.”
If some serious damage can be inflicted on Russian infrastructure, (please drop one on Russia Tonight as they record), Trump would be pleased. He can blame Biden, and ride to the rescue.
Maybe Biden has decided to mark it harder for Trump? Perhaps. But I suspect they are all in.

Either way Fark Putin now.
