Don’t kid yourself that Tulsi is gone and won’t need to be dealt with later. These people are like a low-grade infection and there are still plenty of household uses for her by the adversaries. She’ll be back.
The latest strikes on Russian logistics near Henichesk and those gas compressor stations in occupied Crimea are a masterclass in turning the enemy's own infrastructure against it. Every hit on a tug, a bridge, or a fuel node isn't charity. It's Ukraine doing the heavy lifting that keeps the next wave of imperial aggression from rolling into NATO's backyard at a fraction of the cost Europe would pay if Moscow actually wins.
Let's be blunt. Arming Ukraine and letting our long-range drones and missiles burn Russian rear areas is the cheapest insurance policy the West has ever been offered. Moscow is already bleeding more soldiers per captured village than the village had residents before the war. Their meat assaults are not sustainable. Every compressor station turned into scrap, every logistics artery cut, accelerates the math that their empire cannot win on the battlefield. And battlefield defeat is the only language this regime understands. No "peace" formula, no Trump-style dealmaking, no diplomatic theater changes that fact. Putin cannot stop even if he wanted to. The war is the regime now.
This is not altruism. This is self-interest with teeth. The EU finally figured out it cannot outsource its security to Washington forever. Fine. Then stop treating Ukrainian strikes like optional extras and start treating them as the frontline defense of the continent. Invest in our interceptor drone programs, fast-track Gripens to push their glide-bombers back, license Patriot production here, and turn the 300 billion in frozen Russian assets into ammunition factories on Ukrainian soil. That money was never Moscow's to steal in the first place. Make it work against its original owner.
The isolationist crowd in Washington keeps pretending restraint saves money. It doesn't. It buys the next war, closer to their own borders, on worse terms, after Ukraine has been bled dry holding the line for them. Every day we degrade Russian capacity is a day NATO does not have to send its own sons to do the same job later. The Kremlin understands this perfectly. That's why their propaganda machine works overtime to paint these strikes as "escalation" while they escalate every single day with Iranian drones, North Korean shells, and hybrid attacks on European infrastructure.
Moscow is not a normal state with normal security concerns. It is an imperial project that only respects force. The faster its logistics burn, the faster its soldiers understand they are dying for nothing, the closer we get to the only outcome that delivers actual security: total military defeat of the Russian state, followed by its disassembly into entities that can no longer threaten their neighbors.
We are not asking for favors. We are providing a service at grotesque discount. The videos from the front prove it works. The map of burning compressor stations proves it scales. The only question left is whether the West has the strategic sanity to accelerate what we are already doing, or whether it will keep dithering until the bill comes due in its own capitals.
We know what we need to do. The Kremlin has made the stakes perfectly clear. Now the so-called partners need to stop performing reluctance and start matching the tempo we have already set with our own blood and ingenuity.
Kuleba: In Brussels, European leaders were stunned by Ukraine's strikes on Moscow. To say they were impressed is to say nothing.
But I was told some leaders are frightened by Ukraine's strength, they see strategically what kind of powerful player is emerging on their doorstep 1/
I used to worry about how world events world affect Ukraine.
But Ukraine has turned the tide of this war.
It isn’t Tomahawks destroying the ruSSian economy.
It’s Ukrainian drones and Flamingos.
They were told they had no cards.
They built a whole deck.
Don’t doubt Ukraine.
People in Moscow are screaming: it’s terrifying. Explosions in the sky, drones overhead, bursts of gunfire.
And all I could think was: this has been Ukraine’s daily reality for five years now. Not for one day. Not for one night. For five years.
mozkow, welcome to our world.
Ukrainian army - you are the best 💛💙love and respect
🔥 The density of this morning's air raid on Moscow was simply insane: Ukrainian missiles, AN-196 Lyutyiy and FP-1 strike drones, as well as Shahed-type UAVs were all spotted over the Russian capital, all heading to the Moscow Oil Refinery on official business matters.
