To justify its decision the Biden administration even 'leaked' an intelligence assessment which warned of allowing such:

Intelligence agencies concluded that granting Ukraine’s request to use Western missiles against targets deep in Russia could prompt forceful retaliation while not fundamentally changing the course of the war.

Reality asserts itself like a brick to the face. lmao

I agree. When the Russian intervention began and Western media did a huge crackdown on the truth, the only people I saw allowed to tell the Russian side on mainstream were MAGA crackpots who looked crazy doing it. Can't say there's no censorship, because the narrative is allowed on mainstream media, but presented from the side progressives hate and distrust the most. It's an insidious kind of manipulation.

Oh, absolutely. In February-March 2022 the only "allowed" voices critical of the US empire and its actions were absolute chuds or nutjobs like Russell Brand. I remember those in liberal places used to gang up on folks who were skeptical of the narrative BECAUSE they quoted Brand, of all people. Even a lot of well-meaning people fell into that trap.
