CNN: UK to send Ukraine long-range rocket systems.

The U.K. will send multiple-launch rocket systems, or M270 launchers, to Ukraine, U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said on June 1. M270 launchers can hit targets up to 80 kilometers away, giving “a significant boost in capability for the Ukrainian forces,” according to a statement from the U.K. Foreign Office. The decision is “closely coordinated” with the U.S.’ provision of HIMARS to Ukraine, a variant of the M270 launchers. The U.K. will also train Ukrainian troops to use the rocket systems.

That's a serious step up. With those kinds of weapons, Ukraine will regain the advantage in a conventional war.

This is where the US is really taking over. Putin is now in big trouble and he knows it.

Biden is calling his nuclear weapons bluff on mutually assured destruction grounds.

If only US domestic policy was this decisive.
