In one of the largest overnight strikes since the war began, Russia unleashed some 614 drones, ballistic and cruise missiles across Ukraine, killing one, injuring dozens and destroying an American-owned electronics company less than an hour from two NATO borders, officials confirmed Thursday morning. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy said the strike on the private U.S. company, which involved "several" cruise missiles, was "very telling" following President Donald Trump’s attempts to force Moscow to end its invasion.

Apparently, Putin and his Islamo-communist friends and close allies (IRAN and North Korea) dream to ignite a war against America. This Russian-led attack against America is Putin's answer to Trump's peace efforts.

I understand now why Trump posted this ultra anti-Russian post today: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115067056991519965

American companies should be doing business in the USA not Ukraine.

I think Trump will react strongly. Biden and Obama never reacted when red lines were crossed. Trump will react.
He will act with a strong response - there is no other choice. Or America will be disrespected again.

Trump posting this image shows he will respond strongly :

America has businesses all around the world. It’s part of America’s business model since WWII.

This is not a redline. Trump has pretty conclusively said he doesn’t do red lines. This is just another way to try and get America deeper involved. Trump acting strong is Trump staying HIS course no matter what all these mouths around him are yapping about. When and if he is going to change course it will be at his say so and for his own reasons. That’s real strength.

--- "American companies should be doing business in the USA not Ukraine."

More detail.

"Flex Ltd.[2] (previously known as Flextronics International Ltd. or Flextronics) is an Singaporean–American multinational manufacturing company. It is the third[3] largest global electronics manufacturing services (EMS), original design manufacturer (ODM) company by revenue, behind only Pegatron for what concerns original equipment manufacturers. Flex's U.S. corporate headquarters are located in Austin, Texas.[4] The company has manufacturing operations in over 30 countries, totaling about 172,000 employees."

----- Singapore (legal domicile and headquarters)

Blackrock increased its Flex Ltd. Ordinary Shares holdings by 33.793% last June, State Street increased its holding by 38.029% then, and a few other hedge funds did as well.

Interesting point from the site -- "Institutional Ownership 101.82%"

Flex Ltd. Products

The Austin, Texas, subsidiary is one of many in thirty nations. Singapore is Daddy.

The American company made electronics, probably for their drones.

I assume this company was providing some military assistance to the Ukrainian Army.
