Escalation of missiles changes scope of Russia – Ukraine war

Date:

We saw a change of tactics being employed in the war between Russia and Ukraine.

The United States gave Ukraine permission to use long-range American missiles to hit targets in Russia. Ukraine has done so, as well as British cruise missiles.

Russian president Vladimir Putin responded by threatening to use nuclear weapons. Russia since fired a ballistic missile at Ukraine.

Host Jim Niedelman brings back Drue Mielke and Porter McNeil to discuss.

“Putin has made these threats about nuclear war before,” McNeil said. “I think this is Putin propaganda.”

“I think this could be seen- what President Biden is doing- as escalating the war in Ukraine,” Mielke said.
