As Putin levels Odesa, Biden hesitates on giving Ukraine the missiles it needs
OPINION>NATIONAL SECURITY
"The Biden administration continues to waffle on whether to arm Ukraine with the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS).
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his war against Ukrainian grain and the Ukrainian people, however, has no such problem in making decisions. He has been leveling the port city of Odesa with a four-day barrage of cruise missiles and drones. He also sent a message to nearby Romania — “Keep your distance!” — by attacking a port in the town of Reni, just across the Danube River, which destroyed a grain hangar.
Any doctor will tell you that attacking the symptom instead of the disease only prolongs the disease.
There must be a two-pronged approach — attack the weapon system and interdict missiles and drones that get through. To do that, Ukraine needs precision deep-strike capability and intelligence to destroy these weapons and the locations where Russian missiles and drones are stored. ATACMS is part of that solution.
....
Which only makes the Biden administration’s indecision more perplexing. What are they waiting for?"

Since this is not LBN, I edited the title of the article as to not attack my President. I believe the intent of the article is to point out the urgency of the situation, with which I wholeheartedly agree.
Give Ukraine the tools it needs for defense.
No one can argue that these missile batteries are an offensive weapon.
Slava Ukraini!
