TRUMP SAYS BIDEN'S UKEAIN AIDE IN PLOT TO SPARK WWII AS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN GRANTS PERMISSION FOR LONG-RANGE MISSLES STRIKES WITHIN RUSSIAN TERRITORY

Washington D.C, United States - In a provocative statement on social media, Donald Trump Jr. alleged that the US support for Ukraine is part of a scheme by the Biden administration to initiate a major conflict before his father assumes the presidency in January.

On Monday, President Joe Biden granted permission for Ukrainian forces to utilize American-provided long-range missiles for strikes within Russian territory, marking a significant shift from his previous efforts to reduce tensions. The newfound authorization allows Ukrainian forces to deploy US-manufactured Army Tactical Missile Systems in the Kursk region along the northeastern border between the nations.

This development has sparked concerns that the Biden administration is taking an aggressive stance towards Russia. Trump Jr., who is part of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, claimed that the defense establishment aims to destabilize his father's presidency by escalating the conflict.

"The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives," he tweeted on Sunday.

The authorization allows Ukraine to utilize approximately 190-mile-range US-made missiles with substantial explosive capability. Ukrainian forces have expressed readiness to deploy these newly authorized weapons following extended requests for permission to use American missiles amidst significant military setbacks.

Russia, meanwhile, has been locked in a brutal conflict with Ukraine since February last year, which has claimed numerous civilian lives. Trump, who has committed to ending the conflict, communicated with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian leader Vladimir Putin following his electoral victory.

President-elect Trump claims that he is the only person who can bring both sides together to negotiate peace and work towards ending the war and stopping the killing.

However, no specific details about his strategy for concluding the conflict have been disclosed. Within Trump's five children, Donald Trump Jr maintains the strongest connection to his father's involvement and reportedly holds significant influence in the transition team, particularly regarding the selection of contentious cabinet appointments.
