You may recall that Ukraine’s unfunny comedian-in-chief, Zelensky, has been increasingly isolated by a series of unfortunate and inconveniently timed corruption scandals. On Friday, CNN squirted out a story headlined, “Zelensky names spy chief to head presidential administration in big shake-up.” The ‘spy chief’ from the headline is Kyrilo Budanov, pictured below.
... But the highest-profile replacement was that of Zelensky’s Chief of Staff, a person nobody had ever heard of until last month, but who apparently actually ran the country the whole time: Andriy Yermak. He’s out now, saddled with corruption allegations and labeled with the crooked code-name “Ali Baba,” and it probably won’t be long till he flees the country.
On Friday, Zelensky named Yermak’s official replacement, Budanov. ...
Budanov’s ascension was great news for President Trump, but more bad news for the Europeans. EU capitals fear that ‘key decisions’ could be ‘directly brokered’ through a covert CIA–Budanov channel— leaving Europe behind, like the kid who never gets picked for a team in gym class.

Russia has surged ahead in nuclear submarines. Russia, in particular, has demonstrated rapid adaptability to new technologies such as battlefield drones, whereas the US lags far behind.

Drones may just be a new version of guerilla war - a war method of the weak. Just like how a guerrilla soldier with a TOW can take out a stray tank, the drone can hit small targets. Useless against an advancing army using mass tank, helicopter, and infantry, especially after artillery and aerial saturation.

Ever notice Russia and Ukraine takes a break when the rest of the world is preoccupied with a crises other than theirs?
Funny how that works. I haven't heard shit about Russia and Ukraine since Trump remanded Maduro.

I've said this before, but I suspect the things are connected via some phone call between Trump and Putin.
Trump: Listen Vlad, I'm not going to complain too much about your dealing with your own back yard if you'll let us deal with our own back yard.

But Russia and China also have hypersonic missiles, which the US does not. Those things can definitely take out an advancing army.

This pisses me off. Fricken North Korea has them and Iran, broke countries. But Raytheon with insane budgets doesn’t. So much corruption in our military spend. Republicans were showering MiC for years with trillions, those companies are lazy and unpatriotic too used to free money.

Ukraine's government is 99% financed by US money. That makes it a US satrapy. It is financed with some of the money we have been lied to is for Ukraine's 'war effort'.
Money Zelensky & Crooks rip off.
But now DeSantis has drawn the line in the sand. That makes it a MAGA/GOP base election issue.
McConnel.will be pissed. As will the Nazi Ukey Fluffers.
