Biden Should Act Now and Send Long-Range Missiles and Drones to Ukraine

New York (RichTVX.com) —

The Wall Street Journal recently published an editorial urging President Joe Biden’s administration to respond to the recent MQ-9 Reaper drone incident with Russia by sending long-range missiles to Ukraine. The publication argues that the Russian military’s decision to attack an American drone in neutral airspace indicates the Kremlin’s intent to escalate its aggressive actions. The MQ-9 Reaper drone crashed in the Black Sea near Crimea after being intercepted by a Russian fighter jet. The Wall Street Journal notes that this incident should not be a reason for the US to withdraw support for Ukraine, as the drone was operating in international airspace and Putin aims to make the Black Sea his own.

The editorial contends that Biden now has more reasons to provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs to defend itself against Russian aggression, including tactical missiles and MQ-9 Reaper drones. Previously, the US had hesitated to provide Ukraine with such devices due to fears that they would fall into Russian hands. However, the Russian military’s recent attempts to retrieve the wreckage of the drone from the Black Sea demonstrate that the risk associated with providing these devices to Ukraine is acceptable and outweighed by the benefits they offer. The authors of the editorial further argue that the Biden administration has been shaping its Ukraine policy based on concerns about how Putin would react, but the drone incident is further proof that Putin is willing to take risks he believes he can get away with. The publication concludes by warning that if Russia escalates and shoots down a plane flown by American military pilots, Biden will have to make difficult decisions.
