President Trump, angrily, to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, February 28: “You don’t have the cards! You’re buried there! Your people are dying! You’re running low on soldiers!”
Since that time . . .
In March alone, the Russians suffered an estimated 41,000 combined killed or wounded in action, with 272 Russian tanks, 1,644 artillery systems, and 607 combat armored vehicles destroyed or disabled. (Since the start of the war, Russia has lost an estimated 12,835 tanks and armored vehicles, 305 aircraft, and 22 naval vessels.)
Without anything resembling a manned navy, Ukraine has largely nullified the effectiveness of the Russian navy and is winning the war at sea:
“In May 2025, Ukraine demonstrated another technological breakthrough when two Russian Su-30 fighter jets were shot down over the Black Sea by AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles launched from Magura-7 naval drones. It was the first time that a crewed jet was downed by missiles fired from uncrewed surface vessels; naval warfare continues to evolve over the Black Sea.” . . .
Drones equipped with surface-to-air missiles, machine-gun modules, and FPV drone “carriers” shifted the advantage back to Kyiv. These upgraded drones are relatively sophisticated but still cost-effective, “with costs ranging from $250,000 to $300,000 per unit,” said Kuzan. “This is about five times cheaper than a Harpoon antiship missile and slightly more than the cost of an M982A1 Excalibur shell or a Javelin ATGM.”
Yes, the Russians have largely forced Ukrainian forces back out of Kursk Oblast, the Russian territory that the Ukrainian military seized in a surprise attack in August. But for four consecutive months, the Russians gained less territory than the preceding month. In March, Russia advanced 99 square miles, a land mass roughly the size of the city limits of Sacramento.

Keeps having new cards slipped to them.
So is Ukraine the new Gog and Magog?
National Review?
Neocon Central.
I think there’s a good chance that Zelensky played the FAFO card. Time will tell.
Revel, ZEEPERS.
I think there is a very good chance Ukrainians didn’t want more of their children murdered by those Russian bombers and took any chance they could to destroy them.
Its an interesting tactic when you attack the messenger instead of critiquing the message. Its weak.
Well NR is a pack of TDS lowlifes so there is that.
Taurus, Stormshadow, Sidewinders, Patriot missiles…yes they have the West’s cards to play with. In addition to NATO satellites helping with targeting.
Trump wasn’t wrong because if we stopped providing them these things they’d have no cards.
Z Man is holding black aces and black 8’s if he ever returns to Ukraine.
The messenger has zero creds.
PianoDick knows who has his back.
Leopards don’t change their spots and neither do neocons.
Neocon messenger delivers neocon message.
I always consider the source, that way I don’t waste my time on the National Review just as I don’t waste my time reading the AP.
But it you have the time to consider the content without giving consideration to the source, then you must not have much of a life.
Which I already knew after you took the time to go ad hominem and question my strength.
I have a life and I don’t waste my time going on the offense making ad hominem attacks, but I like Trump am a counter puncher.
Appreciate the back-up bruh.
They’re playing with our chips.
littlepeepee45 is a NeverTrump neocon troll, just so you know.
I’ll be surprised if Zelenskyy survives poking the bear.
sounds like Ukrainians will be marching on Moscow soon. z has a secret weapon; fairy dust.
To quote Alex Jones: “This is not poking the bear. It is hitting it with a baseball bat...”
If they can drone attack a Russian airbase 1000km inside Russia they can surely target Putin in his dacha.
Death to Putin!
Bang it!
