      This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/30/politics/umerov-ukraine-targets-cnntv/index.html) reduced by 83%. (I’m a bot)

      > Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov told CNN the Biden administration is still considering his request to lift restrictions on Ukraine using long-range weapons to strike deeper inside Russian territory and confirmed he'd presented a list of targets in meetings with senior officials in Washington on Friday.

      > Speaking before the meeting between Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Umerov, the US official said many of Ukraine's high value targets in Russia are outside the range of ATACMS. Russia's military has pulled its high value military assets far away from the front line, including the aircraft launching glide bombs that have wreaked havoc on Ukrainian targets.

      > The US has also placed Ukraine at the top of the priority list for air defenses, the US official said, diverting $2 billion in air defense assets to Kyiv that was originally slated to go to other countries.

      Hopefully Washington DC sees the important interests and stakes that are on the line.

      Moscow is weak, but they have nukes and cyber terrorism capabilities. But on the battlefield itself… its like Russians are fighting with dust in their eyes. Can’t even defend the motherland.

      I’m betting a lot of the generals in and around Washington see the sense in agreeing with Ukraine.

      It’s not warmongering to attack the enemy who attacked you first. Sometimes retaliation in kind is the only way to get aggressors to stop. Let them do what they need to do.

      Get off the pot, guys. If you really do value freedom, there may be no better time for Ukraine.

      You were heard, all right–it’s hard to get the green light when the only color Washington sees is red.
