They have to be visible per SALT treaty. General Mike Flynn pointed this out.
“Graham and Blumenthal told him to do it...”
Except it took over a year to plan and get everything in place to spring the attack. No way the Ukrainians would have told the two senators about it or asked for their approval.
That is absurd on its face.
“Like a Pearl Harbor attack in 1944.”
No like the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. Try to keep up.
I know it’s hard for you, but don’t be stupid.
“It’s beginning to manifest that Trump is not in operational control”
No. It has long been evident that Trump is an egomaniac gasbag who talks out his azz most of the time. There. I corrected it for you.
No, on February 21, 2023, Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would suspend its participation in the New START treaty. He stated that Russia would no longer allow US and NATO inspectors access to its nuclear facilities.
I stick to 1944.
Here is what General Flynn had to say!
ATTENTION!
So, it appears Zelenskyy gave the go ahead to attack parked Russian nuclear capable bombers without informing President Donald J. Trump (if true that our President was not consulted nor informed, this isn’t simply a breach of protocol. It’s a geopolitical insult and a warning sign. If Ukraine is willing to conduct strikes with strategic consequences without notifying the White House, we are no longer allies with coordination issues—we are co-belligerents flying blind).
Also given Senator “warmonger” Lindsey Graham’s and Senator “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal’s recent visit, this attack could appear as though it was sanctioned. I pray the Russians have better intelligence than that. IMHO, these two don’t have the sense or common sense to pull something like this off (there will have to be denials though).
FYI, Those bombers that were hit HAVE to be out in full view due to nuclear treaty obligations. Zelenskyy took advantage of that. For instance, they appear to have hidden the drones in containers and were driven on trucks near the airbase. Smart use of deception (see photos below).
However, imagine any one of our big bomber bases having the exact same thing done to them. Very costly U.S. Strategic Bombers can be taken out in the same way by anyone with access to inexpensive drones, delivery trucks, explosives, and a bit of technical knowledge (not good and new tactics will now have to be developed).
People, and especially world leaders, need to realize the global implications to such an operation as Ukraine just pulled off.
Russia will respond. Action, reaction, counteraction. Those are the shifting tides of warfare.
This wasn’t a bold action, it was brash. Ukraine’s short-term win could be the world’s long-term loss.
Despite what is a complete mess right now in Europe, there are still solutions to achieving peace. They are narrowing however and time, as it often does, becomes an enemy instead of a useful friend.

Putin: Russia suspends participation in last remaining nuclear treaty with U.S.
President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia was suspending its participation in the New START treaty with the United States that limits the two sides' strategic nuclear arsenals.

“Wiped out” sounds a little hyperbolic for a number like forty-one.
War is like revenge back and forth. And Russia will get theirs again.
If Putin wants to his job, the Russian people will demand he unleash hell on Ukraine. And, virtually anything Russia would do can now be justified.
I don’t believe anything from Reuters. Flynn is 100% dead on right here as is the US DOD. This is a lost cause. Take your anti American shit elsewhere.
Then Michael Flynn didn’t know that. I was repeating his X past, also posted here.
I trust Gen. Flynn, maybe he’s wrong on this one.
LOL, okay here is TASS, russian news saying Putin is suspending his participation in START
Russia suspends its participation in New START treaty — Putin

That is a big friggin problem. It’s nuke time now!
Murdoch inc
Putin lost long range bombers built in the 80's in a war he started. If Putin is really so deranged that he thinks its "nuke time", we should do everything possible to topple his regime.
He has so many ways to deliver them and far faster than the bombers can deliver them. They have also officially announced that they no longer abide by the old first strike doctrine (May 2024) and have used a low yield tactical nuke in the Ukraine. It’s reality baby!
That's my point. If Putin is willing to go nuclear over losing old bombers in a war he started, it shows he is mentally unstable.
