Applebaum: Putin's war has finally reached Moscow.
Muscovites have lost cell service, struggled to use ATMs and come under drone attacks.
They understand Russia isn't winning. Putin won't fall tomorrow, but it has shifted the mood of Russia's business and political elite. 1/

"Trump gets blamed, but he's an inflatable tube dude at a mafia chop shop. His apathy to governance is mistaken for sway. Governing was never the point. Trump’s casual treason has always made him an ideal vessel for America's going-out-of-business sale."

I can't with these videos of Russians standing in fuel lines whining, "But why are they bombing us? What did we doooooo?"
You invaded a sovereign state. You destroyed the peaceful lives of 40 million people. You leveled our towns and cities. Your scorched-earth bombings turned a once-blooming land into a wasteland visible from space. Most importantly, you are actively killing us right now, and you dare to ask that question?
Life is a boomerang, babe. What karma fails to deliver, our armed forces will. Unless you all pack up and go home.
- Petr Pavel,
President of the Czech Republic 🇨🇿:
"The fact that Ukraine did not fall within three days, as Moscow signalled, but has now been bravely resisting daily attacks for four years, not only on the front line but also in cities and villages across the country, is due to the immense sacrifice and determination of its people to defend their land, families, and homes.
Helping Ukraine defend itself is not only a strategic necessity, but also a moral obligation.”
I couldn't agree more....

ZELENSKYY: Russia will no longer be able to easily and with impunity steal land of Ukrainian people, or any other people currently threatened by Russian ambitions.
Modern technology makes occupation extremely difficult for occupier, perhaps more difficult than it has ever been.
Donald Trump has lost his power over Zelensky. Ukraine is emerging as one of the strongest military forces in the world with its advanced drone technology. Trump is now faced with the humiliating reality that Putin, his friend & idol, will lose the war.
