    Secret modifications: https://english.nv.ua/nation/us-has-modified-himars-to-prevent-ukraine-from-striking-russian-territory-news-50288873.html

    “The United States secretly modified the advanced HIMARS rocket launchers it gave Ukraine so they can’t be used to fire long-range missiles into Russia – a precaution the Biden administration says is necessary to reduce the risk of a wider war with Moscow,” WSJ writes.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      No problem. We’ll just modify and improve on readily available old Soviet technology to strike those airbases deep inside Russia:

          What ever you do, don’t mention the war……

          Ahead of the meeting, the Kremlin reportedly urged members of the Human Rights Council “not to upset” Putin with thorny questions about the war in Ukraine, independent news outlet Verstka said.

          Members of the body were also reportedly urged to avoid the “toxic” issue of Russian troop deaths in Ukraine.

          https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/12/07/putin-denies-kremlin-plans-nuclear-first-strike-in-ukraine-a79632

          I note though that he is beginning to turn down nuclear rhetoric. Perhaps Chairman Xi had a little phone discussion with him.

                A small drone with a couple of incendiary grenades can literally be carried anywhere.

                There are a lot of targets that can be taken out with just that small nudge.

                    He needs to make up his mind. One day he's backing off, the next he is saber rattling. I think once again he's trying to shake western resolve to arm Ukraine.
