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.
