WP = nothing but anti American propaganda!!!

Planes in the open per strategic arms treaty with US.

It was brilliant. Kudos to MI-5 or whoever it was.

I doubt the tech is Ukrainian.

[rhinohunter]

… if by “Ukrainian innovation” you mean “CIA black ops” …

[alexander_busek]

Doesn't matter. The burning heaps of scrap metal are Russian.

(BTW: Russia, too, employs a lot of foreign military tech. They are even letting undernourished North Korean grunts die for them. Is that better?!)

Yep.

The sad truth is the NK military is well fed, even pampered by NK standards, while the ordinary civilian population goes without. “Wanna eat? Be a loyal member of our military!”

[TheThirdRuffian]

The Ukrainian special ops people are second only to the Mossad in dirty tricks.

[TheThirdRuffian]

By all accounts, the drones were very simple domestic drones.

Remember Ngô Đình Diệm….. sometimes the deep state needs a change….

Awesome. Then they don’t need anymore help from us.

If Sniffy wants more “mah-ney” (and he always does), let the Euros help him.

We need to wash our hands if this grifter and of Russia.

Something like the ‘elite’ Iraq Republican Guard, elite because they got three meals a day.

Yes, it was a very impressive operation on the tactical level. But what did it achieve at the operational and strategic levels? Not much. Yes, it’s an embarrassment for the Russians. Yes, they lost a dozen bombers (but still have hundreds left). Yes, it may temporarily hamper some operations in the Ukrainian theater, but that’s it.

It was basically a PR stunt. Sure it generated lots of splashy headlines and did good service to the Western “narrative” but what difference does it really make on the battleground?

And at what risk? Did anyone bother to calculate the risk/benefit ratio? I guess we’ll find out when we see the Russian response.

The globalists need a global war to cling to power. That's all they care about.

Whatever you say!

If the WashCompost is gushing, you know something stinks.

Are you talking about the Doolittle Raid?
