Putin is a mass murdering dictator. Trump‘s obsession with "good relationships" with the worst people on Earth, who are delighted to be manipulating him, remains tragic.
For months, some believed that Ukraine didn't "hold any cards." Many of us have refuted that claim, saying an inflection point - due to failing Russian war economy and continued lack of Russian leadership adaptation, but especially due to a continued strong Ukrainian government, military and population support and will mixed with their innovative use of Special Operations, uncrewed systems (various drones), and fiber optic capabilities to counter Russian EW - would soon be felt on the battlefield.
The coordinated and synchronized attack today, which appears to have decimated much of the Russian air fleet that were based over 4000 km from the front line, is showing that Ukraine certainly has many aces in the hole.
The US should immediately fast-track the Blumenthal-Graham bill, and return to supporting Ukraine!
Our allies around the Baltic Sea are not confused about the Russian threat and why Ukraine must defeat Russia. Most of them have lived under Russian oppression. They know what comes next if Ukraine fails. Why is this not crystal clear to the rest of us? @AnnwieAnna
The cowardice checklist, roughly in order: It's none of our business. It's not a big deal. It's too expensive. We have domestic priorities. It would be very difficult. It's unfortunate. We're deeply concerned. There was nothing we could do. It's the opposition's fault.
“It would take less than a day to incorporate ATACMS into their fighting force,” @PMBreedlove told me. “It would bring under fire the entire peninsula of Crimea and, if employed correctly, would make Crimea untenable for Russian military forces.”https://t.co/HyuZcXqXQ1
Dan Rice is correct. Get the M26 cluster munition for HIMARS into the counter-fire fight to destroy Russian artillery and sever the "land bridge" as HIMARS get in range. And the US has huge amounts of these available.

This is BS. If we don’t have enough, why haven’t we increased production? This is about a shortage of political will, not a shortage of ATACMS. DoD has not yet pressed Industry to increase production.
MSNBC. 6 July 23. The battle for the survival of Ukraine will be decided this summer and fall. We must supply UKR with a deep strike capability. ATACMS. Ground launched small diameter bombs. Adequate mine clearing technology. F16 fighter training.
Our refusal to provide ATACMS to Ukraine in effect gives Russia safe haven for these attacks against Ukrainian civilians. I don’t know how the Administration can justify this. At least enable Ukraine to hit the Russian Navy and Air Force in Crimea.
