Biden giver Ukraine fri bane til at ramme Rusland med ATACMS – Er vi på vej mod 3. Verdenskrig?

Biden har nu givet Ukraine grønt lys til at bruge ATACMS-missiler mod mål i Rusland! Hvad betyder det egentlig for konflikten?

I en markant ændring af Amerikas udenrigspolitik har Joe Biden nu givet Ukraine tilladelse til at anvende de langtrækkende ATACMS-missiler mod mål inde i Rusland. Det er første gang, at USA har åbnet for muligheden for at Ukraine kan angribe dybere ind i russisk territorium, hvilket helt klart vil have stor indflydelse på konflikten. ATACMS-missilerne er i stand til at ramme mål på op til ca. 300 kilometer afstand, hvilket giver Ukraine muligheden for at tage kampen helt ind til hjertet af konflikten.

Biden-administrationen mener, at denne beslutning vil styrke Ukraines position på slagmarken og måske tvinge Rusland til at genoverveje deres strategi. Der er dog en del debat om, hvorvidt dette skridt kan have alvorlige konsekvenser, og nogle kritikere frygter, at det kunne være et skridt nærmere en verdensomspændende konflikt. Marjorie Taylor Greene, en af de mere kontroversielle politikere, har allerede udtrykt bekymring over, at Biden "farligt forsøger at starte 3. Verdenskrig" med dette valg.

Det er dog ikke kun modstandere af beslutningen, der er urolige. Mange analyserer, hvad effekten af ATACMS vil være på slagmarken. Hvis disse missiler bruges strategisk til at ramme kritiske forsyningslinjer eller militære installationer, kan det meget vel ændre dynamikken i krigen. Men vi må også overveje, hvilken slags gengældelse Rusland kunne finde på at lave, hvis de føler sig truet, og dette skaber bare større usikkerhed.

For de, der er nysgerrige på ATACMS, er det værd at bemærke, at disse missiler blev udviklet i 1980'erne og har siden da været en vigtig del af den amerikanske militære arsenal. De er kendt for deres nøjagtighed og rækkevidde. Det bliver derfor spændende at se, hvordan Ukraine vil bruge denne nyvundne kapacitet til at føre krig, og hvilke nye dimensioner dette tilføjer til en allerede kompleks konflikt. Baldersstøt, hendes Twitter-fanbase kender hende som Krigen Mom, placerer sig selv på frontlinjen af debatten om, hvilken effekt disse nye våben kan have – både for slagmarken og for de politiske linjer i fremtiden.
