@VanEmmerickKris The Boy Who Cried Wolf, the old fable about a shepherd boy who keeps giving false alarms.
The lesson is:
If you lie too often, people may stop believing you — even when you tell the truth
translated to today's Russia: bring out your dick Putin and we will cut it off
Путин проиграл везде:
в Сирии,
в Азербайджане,
в Молдове,
в Армении
в Украине,
в Венесуэле,
в Иране и на Кубе.
А сейчас он проигрывает еще и в России.
Путин — лузер века!
Russia will lose the war, but Ukraine has not yet won it. Even greater concentration and a further scaling up of efforts are needed.
What is happening now? Ukraine has turned the current phase of the war in its favor. We can now speak not only of parity, but also of the advantages Ukraine has created:
🔹 Ukraine is disrupting logistics to Crimea;
🔹 Ukraine is striking deep in the rear: targeting military infrastructure in the temporarily occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the occupied south, and Crimea;
🔹 Systematic Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil refineries are being scaled up: main oil pipeline infrastructure, refining facilities, and secondary storage sites;
🔹 Ukraine is hitting Russia's shadow export fleet and ports with "direct sanctions";
🔹 Russia's air defense system is being depleted, increasing the operational effectiveness of Ukrainian Defense Forces;
🔹 Ukraine is expanding the scale and pace of its military-industrial complex, and tests of Ukrainian ballistic missiles are underway;
🔹 Ukraine has expanded the kill zone - in some areas to as much as 100 kilometers - limiting Russian advances, disrupting enemy logistics, preventing regrouping, and helping preserve the lives of Ukrainian Defenders;
🔹 The number of Russian soldiers killed each month continues to rise. Current estimates are around 35,000 per month, with the goal of increasing that figure to 50,000;
🔹 Ukraine maintains a technological advantage in the use of AI systems, modern communications, and reconnaissance.
At the same time, these advantages of Ukraine may be temporary - lasting up to six months - since Russia is not ready for negotiations or to end the war and is taking countermeasures:
◾️ Strengthening its air defenses;
◾️ Increasing the scale and intensity of retaliatory strikes;
◾️ Developing new generations of drones and creating countermeasures against Ukrainian Middle Strike capabilities;
◾️ Russian officials have repeatedly stated that they could target not only residential buildings, but also water supply and sewage systems in Ukrainian cities, which could destabilize the Ukrainian rear;
◾️ Russia continues to attack Ukrainian cities and kill civilians on a daily basis;
◾️ Russia continues to target Ukraine's railway transport system;
◾️ Moreover, within six months, Ukraine will face another winter, which may prove even harsher than the previous one;
◾️ The probability of Russia announcing a new mobilization remains high. And we must prepare for this.
The war has not yet been won. The most important thing is not to become overconfident. We must hold out longer than the enemy.
It is necessary to scale up what produces results, rely on statistics and data rather than emotions, avoid confusing tactical advantages with strategic ones, and anticipate future steps in technological innovation.
The rear must be strengthened - both technically and psychologically.
Our strength lies in our unity and resilience.
This is the US House’s Churchill or Chamberlain moment when it comes to helping a democracy and standing up to an invading thug. Tonight we chose Churchill. We are not done yet though. We have two more votes before this fully passes the House. Moral clarity and freedom must win.
I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration.
President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy.
If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.
The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging.
President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.
