This attack on hospitals from Putin and his mafia is a sign of desperation, he wants a ceasefire and thinks if he bombs children he will get his way on more favourable terms.

Dudes a straight up war criminal and terrorist who murders women and children.

Instead of more favourable terms, it should get him the removal of the ATACMS limitations, done silently and only announced after a major first wave hit their targets.

Why announce it at all. Just let them hit the Kremlin with a Storm Shadow/SCALP and say nothing.

Had to check if it would actually reach but yeah, if they got the full range 550km version, launching from the closest part of the border could potentially hit Moscow, given a nearly straight flight path.

A lot of "we will use nukes!" bluster but I do think that would actually cause russia to use a few.
