In a remarkable shift in U.S. foreign policy, US President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use American-supplied long-range missiles, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), to strike targets deep inside Russian territory. The decision comes at a critical juncture, as Ukraine faces escalating threats from a joint Russian-North Korean military campaign in the Kursk region.

According to a recent article on CNN, the US carried out airstrikes targeting two facilities linked to Iranian-backed militias in eastern Syria on Thursday, October 26, 2023. The strikes were ordered by President Joe Biden and were described as “narrowly tailored in self-defense” by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. The facilities have been used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a war on the EU's doorstep. The opponents Vladimir Putin and the Western allies are at odds over how it came about. For Putin, the NATO expansion and the threat it posed to Russia forced the invasion. The Western allies are currently taking massive action against the Russian oligarchs accused of corruption. They would have made their money only with the help of the Russian kleptocracy. However, we must not forget that Ukraine was a highly corrupt state looted by politicians and oligarchs. With the help of the Western allies!

FinTelegram reported that the Western alliance of the U.S. and EU are on the hunt for the luxury assets of the Russian oligarchs. U.S. President Joe Biden warned Russian oligarchs during his State of the Union address, saying that the U.S. will seize much of their wealth in the country. "We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts, your luxury apartments, your private jets," Biden said in his address. "We are coming for your ill-begotten gains."
