What would that achieve? What's the military strategy? Just petty tit for tat?

Russia uses airfields, staging grounds, installations outside of Ukraine for their attacks since they're relatively safe because of these limits imposed on the provided weapons.

Just petty tit for tat?

As opposed to a strategy that allows one nation to attack another knowing no effective response is possible you mean.

You choose to belittle the idea a nation should expect consequences when they try to seize another nation as petty tit for tat. Rather then a fair response.

Okay but you're just arguing that the tit for tat is fair. Okay, now what? Ukraine hasn't a hope in hell of winning this war. This is all just a face saving attempt for US and NATO.

Bollocks. The Ukraine has every hope of convincing Russia to leave its soil. If it has the support of other nations.

Having those nations allow the Ukraine to use weapons supplied in a way that forces Russia to actually spend resources defending its own inferstructure is the first step to lowering there ability to push everything they have into another nation.

The Ukraine has done a fantastic job of limiting the ability of Russia to over run its nation. While being limited in its ability to respond to the attacker. Forcing Russia to defend its ow borders will make a huge difference in the Ukraine ability to remove Russia fro mits own borders.

It's not tit-for-that to allow them to better fight against their invader. It was a weird restriction to begin with
