I don't think many people saw this one coming, but it makes sense in a perverse way.
Events in the Middle East have conspired to create a situation in which Ukraine has become an indispensable ally and munitions supplier to Gulf Arab states.
Nobody in the world has as much experience fighting Iranian drones as does Ukraine, and they have become extraordinarily proficient at destroying them before they do any damage, and at a price that cannot be beat.
The Gulf states, having blown through an awful lot of their anti-air magazines, are having to quickly learn how to defend themselves in a better, faster, cheaper way, and have discovered to their surprise that Ukraine not only has the knowledge, but the means to help them.

Ukraine has discovered that it has a product that others need, in the way that Taiwan has a unique advantage because it has a stranglehold on microprocessor manufacture.
It has a stranglehold on drone-fighting technology. Expect Zelensky to use this fact to his advantage in the years ahead, changing the war in Ukraine by changing the battlefield around the world.

That worm is still Little z, but if countries can actually pay Little z for help Ukraine can give others, so be it. Little z needs to pocket what money he can scam, sorry, can.
Wait a minute a week ago Russia was the big winner…
You could say Russia’s a winner too since they get to sell their oil that they really need money from for more money.
Hotair from hotair... Ukies LOST the war and a generation of young men just as globalists/Obamao planned and while US gets some drone data for our Hundreds of millions of tax $$s ripped off... a lousy trade! ...ymmv
Didn’t you hear? US and Russia are allies now, against London and Davos.
It’s the Spanish Civil War all over again. Two great powers choose sides in a minor country and test out weapons and tactics in preparation for a possible future war.
So be it. At least we’d be getting something useful for our money. Unlike under Otto Pen.
Not even that...
What a strange alliance then...
Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets, sources say
Then Ukraine launched a series of drone attacks on Russia’s top export hubs, including Novorossiysk on the Black Sea as well as Primorsk and Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea.
According to Reuters calculations, about 40% of Russia‘s crude oil export capacity was shut down on last Wednesday, marking the most severe oil supply disruption in the modern history of Russia.
Separately, a Bloomberg analysis of shipment data showed that Primorsk and Ust-Luga previously handled about 45% of Russia’s seaborne crude exports.
The barrage of Ukrainian drones has not let up, continuing to evade air defenses and reach deep inside Russian territory. Fresh attacks on Sunday sparked fires at the Ust-Luga port, according to Reuters.
(((PING!)))
To be added to the zeeper follies pinglist,
ping me bro... we need laughter!

And yet, nothing will change. The grind will go on.
