Russia struck an American business with cruise missiles overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war so far, Ukraine has said.

The Ukrainian air force said some 574 drones and 40 missiles were fired overnight, primarily targeting western regions of the country – far from the battlefield’s front line in the east and south of the country.

The strikes killed one person and injured 15 more and struck a “major American electronics manufacturer”, according to Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine’s foreign minister.

Video footage showed a large fire at the premises of Flex Ltd, a multinational firm headquartered in Texas.

The company manufactures electronic goods including games consoles, laptops and control units for cars and other vehicles.

Like, maybe, oh, drone missiles?

As soon as they said "games consoles" I thought "Drone controllers"

From the article: ...the premises of Flex Ltd, a multinational firm...

It's a korporate factory, not a "U.S." factory.

Trump is gonna hammer down some NASTY economic tariffs and sanctions on Russia,
—————
Do be aware that 19 Sanctions packages have been leveled upon Russia……that has not slowed them down yet…..highly unlikely the 20th will.

Russia’s GDP has increased, manufacturing increased, etc, ….everyone knows the Sanctions have been a failure. There is little President Trump can do, except TRY to get Zelensky to sit down and negotiate territorial concessions..

Sounds like ‘tit for tat’:

Sometimes tit can be bigger that tat.

Foreign companies, mercenaries, etc were warned from day one they will be targets if found to be operating in Ukraine, which is a war zone.

This is nothing new, a few months ago, Boeing’s office was leveled in Kiev. They should have learned from that mistake. In any case, the Neo Con’s are learning a good lesson.

They’re all owned by international bankers who want U.S. protection for their money but those bankers make sure the korporate entities are outside U.S. jurisdiction and tax collection.

The Ukraine startup plant makes drones - and soon, cruise missiles - to strike deep inside Russia. Washington Post.
