In Fairness of War, Russia Could Target USA

 It would be considered fair play to attack a weapons shipment coming into a country you are at war with. Israel could attack Iranian shipments coming into Syria.  USA could bomb supply chains in Cambodia that were supplying Viet Cong with supplies.  And Russia could attack US and NATO targets that are supplying weapons to Ukraine which will be used to kill Russians.  This event could significantly expand the war.

But the Biden administration’s new commitment, both in weapons and in timely delivery and training, has prompted a rebuke from Russia, as the Washington Post’sKaren DeYoung reported on Thursday.

“We call on the United States and its allies to stop the irresponsible militarization of Ukraine, which implies unpredictable consequences for regional and international security,” a formal diplomatic note delivered from the Russian embassy to the US State Department warned. 

The Post reported that the note could mean Russia intends to begin attacking weapons supplies coming into Ukraine; thus far, Russian forces have not done so, although they consider weapons convoys legitimate military targets. It’s also not outside the realm of possibility that they could attack weapons depots outside Ukraine’s borders, according to George Beebe, the former CIA director of Russia analysis. 

“There has been an assumption on the part of a lot of us in the West that we could supply the Ukrainians really without limits and not bear significant risk of retaliation from Russia,” Beebe told the Post. “I think the Russians want to send a message here that that’s not true.”
