So those drone strikes on Moscow and mortar hits on Belgorod were not "counter strikes into Russia"?

Those weren't done with us made/designed weapons, so in the context of this... no they don't count.

Idk if you read the article but this is specifically about US provided weaponry

Pentagon spokesman Maj. Charlie Dietz said in a statement that the US “has agreed to allow Ukraine to fire US-provided weapons into Russia across where Russian forces are coming to attempt to take Ukrainian territory.”

And then there's the burning of the recruitment offices... no, wait, that was average Russians lol

Also, the ridiculous notion that they shouldn't when they are obviously need to push Russians back into their own country and keep the line there.

US congressmen and the executive office should have nothing to do with military operations and decisions what so ever, because they are a bunch of slack jawed yokels.

Shout outs to the Iraq war. Gotta be one of my favourite useless power vacuums for petro companies.
