Russia Hammers Ukraine With Eight-Hour Drone Barrage Overnight
Breitbart ^ | 11/07/2024 | Breitbart London

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Dozens of Russian drones targeted Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, in an eight-hour nighttime attack, authorities said Thursday as Russia kept up its relentless pounding of Ukraine after almost 1,000 days of war.

Lone Russian drones and also swarms of drones entered Ukrainian airspace from various directions and at a variety of altitudes, officials said, in what was an apparent attempt to stretch air defense systems and unnerve city residents.

Ukrainian air defenses “neutralized” three dozen drones, but falling debris caused damage to a hospital as well as residential and office buildings in Kyiv, local authorities said. A fire was ignited on the 33rd floor of an apartment building.

At least two people were reported injured.

I suspect that many international problems will vanish on or by Inauguration Day. He won’t have to lift a finger or utter a word.

It’s not going to be easy to negotiate with Putin.

Trump made some very bold statements/predictions/boats when he was on the campaign trail. While I would guess that Putin knows it was stump braggadocio, I highly doubt he is completely objective about what he heard. He has no intention of just rolling over and giving in. In fact, I’m sure quite the opposite.

Somewhere in this conflict there is a deal to be made which both sides will get “Some” of what they want to save face and lives. Trump is the one that can broker this deal, Biden never talked to Putin. You have to talk to both sides. Both sides must make some sacrifices. That is my opinion.

Exactly.

Trump can talk to Putin and tell him in no uncertain terms, “I can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. It’s your choice.”

And I guarantee you, both Zelensky and Putin have more “respect” for Trump than they every had for Biden. Respect is not exactly the right word, but they know they can’t roll Trump.

Ukraine won’t have DJT bent over a barrel like they did the Bidens.

Cut the funding off, withdraw our troops and equipment. It will collapse.

Sounds like Pooty Pooh is pissed off because Trump won. He’s madder than a college girl gone wild. We’ll know for sure if he busts out in a Che’ Guevara College Kid T-shirt.

Stop sending Ukraine BORROWED money from United States. War and killing will stop faster than delivery of a Jimmy Johns sandwich.

I’m sure Trump will demand an audit. And I believe they will find graft spread all over the Democrat party.

If an audit were to happen, I don’t believe the graft was limited to the democrats...

They’re positioning for Trump stopping the war. Get their best facts on the ground to affect their negotiating position.

The leftists have been perfecting money laundering for a long time, and it gets almost impossible to follow the trail when many of the links are international.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they went to soros for advice how to move it all around and get it to where you want it to go

An audit is a good idea.
The audit should focus on what money we gave YouCrayne was spent on.

Military Summary Channel was saying the other day that Ukrainian air defenses are down to almost nothing, with Russian drones now loitering at will over Kiev. The unverified claim of 3 dozen drones downed is an attempt to mask this, without mentioning the total number of drones, the full scope of damage caused or the freedom with which they are now operating.
