LIBERATION: There are reports that Ukraine has struck Russia with US-made long-range missiles for the first time. This came after the outgoing Biden administration lifted its restrictions on Kiev’s use of ATACMS missiles on Sunday, having previously refused to do so. What do you make of this latest US-led escalation of the war in Ukraine? How serious is it?
SEVIM DAGDELEN: The outgoing Biden administration is risking World War III in Ukraine. Together with Keir Starmer, who trails after the defeated US president like a poodle, they are both prepared to risk everything in the doomed Ukraine proxy war. Joe Biden and Keir Starmer are irresponsible warmongers who are putting the security of the population at risk so as to avert defeat at all costs.
Britain has announced it is also considering providing Ukraine with similar long-range armaments. Will Germany’s current beleaguered coalition government likely do the same and relent from its current position, through the provision of Taurus long-range missiles to Kiev?
