Biden's Approval of Long-Range Missiles for Ukraine Sparks Global Debate
TL;DR
The Biden administration has allowed Ukraine to use US-supplied longer-range missiles, which Ukraine quickly used to strike a Russian weapons depot. This decision raises concerns about potential nuclear escalation, as Russia's new nuclear doctrine allows for a nuclear response to conventional attacks involving support from nuclear powers like the US. While experts believe the risk of nuclear conflict remains low, the situation highlights the ongoing tit-for-tat dynamic between Russia and the US, with each side escalating in response to the other's actions.
