The post is in the business of war planning?

I suppose no one on this editorial board has ever spoken with a general, nor been in a combat zone. Nor even read the article of war planning

Do they know that Ukraine holds zero interest fo the US? That they are not part of NATO. They are not part of the EU. They are not a democracy. They are not a judeo Christian country

Have these people spoken with anyone of the ranks that they would want to send in to a proxy war?

When the republicans are in charge these people are pro war. When the democrats are in charge they get us into war

Bit nam for instance

They hate that we were in Vietnam nam. Lost 58,000 maimed three times as many yet here they are screaming for war cheering this on

The Ukrainians were never going to win a war against Russia. What is being done with the hundreds of billions we’ve sent them from our bankrupts coffer?

No blood for oil yet when we got back from the desert Clinton increased our dependence on mid east oil by 40%

Perfectly logical and accurate editorial. Bravo.
People who seem to like Russia or Putin or something can’t seem to understand the damage he has done to his own country and people, which is massive.
My own opinion is he doesn’t care. His style of war has always been excessively destructive and at home he eliminates those who might offer him better advice.

“This is the start of a huge new escalation of killing.”

Agree, it’s like demanding that the US surrender after the Pearl Harbor attack.

If you watch the video, you will see that there was little killing in this operation. Empty combat aircraft with no one inside were parked on a runway, and they were blown up by drones.

“Nor can Moscow complain that Kyiv launched these strikes on the eve of a fresh set of peace talks”

Although that’s exactly what Kiev did. What a load.

Putin already was talking peace, but sniffy the clown is a globalist puppet that doesn’t want peace.

Time to flatten Kiev. Hopefully, our two traitors are still there.

Now I hope Ukraine takes out all of Russia’s oil refineries next and ends the war.

It will escalate the war, not drive out Ruzzians from Ukie Territory.
It reminds me when YouCrayne sunk Ruzzian Ships in the Black Sea.
Big PR Victory for YouCrayne, but did nothing to stop Ruzzia taking
more territory. And it still takes more Ukie Territory everyday.

Thanks, Democrats, for sitting on your Obamaholes during the jokster administration of your retarded, crooked, and extremely low IQ president.

“In a spectacular military and propganda coup, Ukraine has carried out an audacious attack on Russia’s airforce, using drones to destroy as many as 40 warplanes at military bases across the country.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said 117 drones were used in the so-called “Spider’s Web” operation by the SBU security service. They were smuggled into Russia hidden in wooden mobile cabins, moved close to the airbases, then launched by remote control.

Over one-third of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers were hit in airfield drone strikes, Ukraine’s Security Service reports
UKRAINSKA PRAVDA

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/06/1/7515088/

Ukraine’s Security Service has estimated the value of the Russian strategic aircraft hit during its 1 June special operation at US$7 billion.

SOURCE: Security Service of Ukraine (SSU)

QUOTE: “US$7 billion. That’s the estimated value of the strategic enemy aircraft assets hit today as part of the SSU’s special operation Pavutyna (Spiderweb).
We have struck 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at their main airbases.”

DETAILS: The SSU has promised to release more information about the operation “shortly”.

BACKGROUND:

• On the afternoon of 1 June, a series of strikes took place targeting Russia’s Aerospace Forces at no fewer than four airfields.

• Sources told Ukrainska Pravda that the operation, which was carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), had hit around 40 aircraft, particularly strategic bombers.

• A source in the SSU told Ukrainska Pravda that the special operation, code-named Pavutyna (Spiderweb), had been in preparation for over 18 months. The plan involved smuggling first-person view drones into Russia, followed by mobile wooden crates in which the drones were concealed.

• Russia’s Defense Ministry has confirmed that military airfields in five regions were attacked by first-person view (FPV) drones. The ministry blamed the “Kyiv regime” for the strikes.

This war seems to have parallels to the us revolution battles. A battle style the us had against a more powerful foe using tactics that the British was not prepared.

"This is the start of a huge new escalation of killing."

Graham and Danang Dick probably gave Zelensky the go-ahead.

You realize that there are still countries that rely on Russia for a good amount of their energy needs.

Interesting that the New York Post editorial board is comprised of mouth-breathing retards.

"an excellent way to push Putin to talk peace" - more like an excellent way to push Putin to exterminate the AFU.
