“A coked out dancer just showed how weak Russian defenses are.”
He just wasted a lot of ordinance destroying weapons that weren’t ever going to be used against him. And today he will lose more land, and tomorrow, etc. This was a NATO operation, not a Ukrainian one.
I'd believe that if some TU-160 Backfires/White Swans were taken out.
OR...backchannels comms could have said, any Tu-160 hit, you lose a city...a big one. Russia is serious about its nuclear triad. Everyone is playing with fire today.
