We gave Ukraine all the ATACMS we could' - Biden's former national security adviser Sullivan admitted that no miracle happened after the missile transfer.

' You said that I said we didn't provide them because we were afraid of World War III. I don't think I ever said that about ATACMS. We didn't provide them initially because the Secretary of Defense and the U.S. military told the president that the U.S. did not have enough of them to meet our own basic deterrence needs. They basically said, 'We don't recommend giving them to another country.' Over time, over the course of two years, we started producing more. We produced enough to give several hundred ATACMS to Ukraine. That's one part of the story. The other part is that the perception of escalation in 2022 was different than it was in 2024. And over time, we became more willing to take more risks. We gave Ukraine so many of these systems that we essentially ran out of them to give away. And the idea that ATACMS made a fundamental difference on the battlefield is not supported by the facts. ATACMS decision was over-anticipated'

ATACMS hype was wunderwaffe thinking.
