It is insane that Russia couldn't defend itself from a TWO THOUSAND MILE drone attack that took ten hours.

Wait until Ukraine strikes the Yamal Cross. Russia will be hurting big time when that happens.

Russia’s size works both for and against it: difficult to reach, but far too dispersed to defend everywhere.

Nobody can.

Not Russia.

Not Saudi Arabia.

Certainly not the U.S.

The attack the Ukrainians launched on Russian bombers via drones deployed from a box truck could be duplicated anywhere in this country.

There's no defense in place against it.

That means an innocent looking cargo ship could launch tactical nukes on Washington D.C. and New York City from 1,800 miles away.

This is getting a little bit scary.

Don’t start a war without expecting total war.

General Sherman was righter than he could forecast.

And people wonder why the price of diesel is going up so fast. It’s in part because Ukraine is destroying the refineries and depots.
