US trying to outdo UK in race to provoke nuclear war in Ukraine

 US trying to outdo UK in race to provoke nuclear war in Ukraine

When it comes to supplying Ukraine with provocative weapons that could trigger nuclear war with Russia, the UK has taken the lead from Uncle Sam.
Tired of playing the poodle to the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, the UK morphed into America’s pit bull in Ukraine.
Starting under former PM Boris Johnson and continuing under successor Rishi Sunak, Britain has led the charge in Europe to line up support, endless weapons, training and intelligence to keep the war going in perpetuity with only Ukrainians dying.
British weapons keep crossing Russian red lines that could lead to wider war. They’ve sent tanks and thousands of shells, many containing depleted uranium which can kill long after the war ends, if ever. To strike Russia, something the US has opposed, Britain has supplied hundreds of long range attack drones, and Storm Shadow cruise missiles with a range of 190 miles. Unlike America, which keep’s Ukraine’s Zelensky on a short lease, the UK gives Mr. Z a blank check to attack Russia directly.
Newbie PM Sunak has assumed the role of Ukraine weapons broker, urging European nations to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighters, capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
US congressional hawks, furious the Brits out weaponizing the US in Ukraine, are demanding the US retake the lead in stoking wider war. A bipartisan congressional coalition has urged President Biden to expedite delivery of Abram tanks, including depleted uranium shells, and Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) that can match the UK Storm Shadow missiles’ 190 mile range. Training of Ukraine pilots on F-16’s will also be expedited.
The only thing off the table for war loving congresspersons is US troops to Ukraine. Dying in Ukraine to weaken Russia and preserve US/NATO dominance in Europe is reserved exclusively for Ukrainians.
The US and UK, battling to see who can most weaponize Ukraine without igniting WWIII, are in a contest neither can win, and the whole world might lose.
