Trump better watch out, he is becoming much more useless to Putin every day...................Since the election, Putin's key man is Musk..........

(79,889 posts)It was an amazing military operation. In the works for over a year and it remained top secret.
Really really impressive piece of work
Destroyed one third of Russia's bomber fleet deep in Russian territory.
2000 miles from Ukraine.
The entire Russian military caught by total surprise.
Losing a third of a bomber fleet is quite serious.
Yes Trump is losing some of his utility to Putin.
Musk is also out of the loop.
However Trump and Musk still continue to seriously damage the US.
Everything that makes America great is being destroyed.
DENVERPOPS
(13,003 posts)like Pearl Harbor.?????????
Which is nowhere near the truth......Putin has been throwing everything he has at Ukraine for the past couple of weeks. Including punching a drone into the newly built sarcophagus cover in Chernobyl which is a big problem.......
Putin launches most everything at civilian areas of Ukraine......Ukraine launches everything at Russian Fuel Depots and Military installations.
Putin has already proven himself to be an International War Criminal in the Hague, many times over these past years.........

(79,889 posts)The US had not been bombing the hell out of Japan for two years.
So Putin's comparison is totally wrong.
Putin invaded Ukraine, has been bombing them relentlessly for years.
And recently been more savage than usual.
Targeting civilians and critical infrastructure.
Putin is a known war criminal, raping and murdering women and children in Ukraine.
Kidnapping children.
The list of his crimes is endless.
If I were Zelensky my next project would be quite a personal target located at the Kremlin.
Putin is such a coward he probably has not been at the Kremlin for over two years now.
He has a safe little hidey hole somewhere.

(18,457 posts).... was a general in the Russian Air Force.
Ukraine just succeeded in bombing Russian Air Force bombers. Word is thirteen destroyed of the multimillion dollar bombers,... all beyond hopes to repair.
Putin must be pissed that Ukraine's drones are getting beyond Russia's missile defense systems deep inside the country. Five different locations were hit deep inside - Russian air force bases were hit. Beyond the 13 that were totally destroyed many other new and more expensive planes were damaged but maybe able to repair.

Ukraine says it has completed its biggest long-range attack of the war with Russia on Sunday, after using smuggled drones to launch a series of major strikes on at least 40 Russian warplanes at four military bases.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said 117 drones were used in the so-called "Spider's Web" operation by the SBU security service, striking "34% of [Russia's] strategic cruise missile carriers".
SBU sources told BBC News it took a year and a half to organise the strikes.
Russia confirmed Ukrainian attacks in five regions, calling them a "terrorist act"

If lots of russians are talking about it on Telegram, it most likely happened.

(7,315 posts)One gun, with one bullet, placed in front of them. The guy who delivered it, just walked out of the room, closed the door and addressed his new subordinates while a shot went off in the room he just came out of. My understanding is, that it was very motivational.
