Opinion | Biden's Parting Gift to Ukraine Could Also Help Trump
Briefly

Biden's potential decision to permit Ukraine to use American missiles against Russia might create political challenges for his successor, raising concerns about direct U.S.-Russia confrontation.
With Russia's threat escalating, the rationale for Ukraine to respond robustly grows stronger; if Russia attacks without restraint, Ukraine argues it must also be allowed to retaliate.
The ATACMS missiles, although limited to a range of 190 miles, could effectively target Russian military assets, providing Ukraine a strategic advantage against impending assaults.
Opponents of using NATO missiles highlight that this action crosses a critical threshold, as Putin has explicitly marked it as a red line, potentially escalating tensions significantly.
