Nice.

I also cannot imagine it is to comfortable to be in any Russian defensive line right now.

The key for Ukraine will be determining which troops are set to shoot those retreating from in front of them and to hit those guys first.

Cutting off the land bridge to Crimea will be key to the overall war.

Russia is now smashing Kyiv with drones.
Time to smash Russia with missiles.

US is struggling for more cash...time for Europe to step up and fight Russia...or pay the price later on.
Can't expect the US to do it all.
Germany, France, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Spain etc
Germany owes the world, big time. Time to pay up.
France owes big time the Western Allies who saved it, twice. Time the People of France told Macron a thing or twenty two...and 'marched' to save Ukraine.
The Western Allies need help now, to help Ukraine.
Italy signed up with Hitler, on the side of wrong. Time it stepped up on the side of right, and helped Ukraine.

Bringing the war home to Russia.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/drones-hit-several-buildings-moscow-mayor-2023-05-30/

Well if the bombing of Moscow is terrorism, then surely the bombing of Kyiv etc in Ukraine is exactly the same.
Apparenty the trick is to overwhelm the defences with so many drones at once that the defences can't handle the onslaught.
Like the Apaches did to the invading 'blue coats'. Trouble for the Apaches was that they eventually they ran out of human 'bullets'.


Tis why the massive aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford has now installed 'giant' lasers, ...as with missile defences the ship would be vulnerable to attack by swarms of small drones at once...apparently.
Also, the lasers just keep on working, no need to go into port to re-stock....and are much cheaper.

Ukraine should have attacked Russia in Russia full force as soon as Russia invaded Ukraine, but the peaceful people kept hoping for peace, and hoping to get Putin to stop the insanity. People such as Pope Francis have been demanding peace since the beginning.

And Ukraine can borrow money from the World Bank and they can get in debt for themselves instead of making America go broke supporting them. Certainly the USA supports Ukraine, but Ukraine needs to assume their own debt.

I support making Russia pay to rebuild Ukraine.

Belarus is suicidal, they are idiots. They are just a joke. The world is watching Belarus, and Belarus will be treated accordingly.

I want peace if we can have peace, but if we must fight to the death then Ukraine should have brought the battle to Moscow's doorstep a long time ago.

Salute,

Tony V.

Russia has 300 billion in frozen assets overseas.  Current estimate for Ukraine recon is 400 billion.

75% is not too shabby.

It is a start.

Wagner out and Khardorovs in behind to shoot deserters and otherwise cow the mobiks.

Russia is showing their defensive hands.

Get the minders and the dragooned masses will, retreat, surrender or otherwise melt away.

You have to wonder how many Russian grunts really believe in what they're being ordered to do.

Cubans are signing up to fight for Russia in exchange for citizenship.

#####

Why?
mmm, maybe Cuba is a really bad place to live.
