Moving forward without us

 

Ukraine doing it without us

 

This is just one of the many ways the United States is being put back into a place where it is non-dominant.  And that's not really a bad thing.

No plan, no prep

 

It's just more and more likely their only plan is Armageddon, egged on by Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and all the other Christian nationalist nutjobs.

There it is

 

Another Russian war crime in Ukraine

 

What's his stance today?

 

Don't get excited.  There's always tomorrow.  And he's not offering any direct US help.

UPDATE 09/25/2025:  Senator Murphy gets it.

Trump graft

 

Peace negotiations.

Russian war crimes in Ukraine continue unabated

 

Low tech, low cost, highly effective

 

UPDATE 06:46 pm:

Ukraine executed a brilliant attack inside Russia that was over a year in the planning, destroying a big chunk of the bombers used to launch cruise missiles at civilian population centers in Ukraine. Financial Times: “Ukraine's security service estimated that its attack caused more than $7 billion in damage, claiming 34% of Russia's strategic cruise missile carriers were hit.”

[...]

“Ukraine has long struggled to target the Russian bombers used to launch mass missile targets against Ukrainian cities, as Moscow has kept them out of range of weapons Kyiv has developed itself as well as those supplied by its Western allies. The use of FPV drones in such a way would mark just the latest stage in the ever-evolving and still relatively fledgling world on drone warfare. The attack was also likely highly cost effective — FPV drones can be bought for a just a few hundred dollars each but the cost of 41 heavy bombers runs into the billions.”

[...]

Zelensky: “Today, a brilliant operation was carried out — on enemy territory, targeting only military objectives, specifically the equipment used to strike Ukraine. Russia suffered significant losses — entirely justified and deserved. The preparation took over a year and a half. Planning, organisation, every detail was perfectly executed. It can be said with confidence that this was an absolutely unique operation. What’s most interesting, and this can now be stated publicly, is that the “office” of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions.”

“Not for a single second did we want this war. We offered the Russians a ceasefire. Since March 11, the US proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire has been on the table. It was the Russians who chose to continue the war – even under conditions where the entire world is calling for an end to the killing. Pressure is truly needed, pressure on Russia that should bring it back to reality. Pressure through sanctions. Pressure from our forces. Pressure through diplomacy. All of it must work together.”

Two bridges were also reportedly blown up in the middle of the night inside Russia which caused two trains and several heavy trucks to crash. Russia called both of the incidents “terrorist attacks.”

Terrorist attacks. What do they call Russia's attacks on Ukraine?

The Russian delegation arrived tonight in Turkey to resume peace negotiations with Ukraine tomorrow.

I wouldn't trust them even if they agree to something.

Multiple media outlets reported that Ukraine did not notify the US about the attack. Given the fact that this extremely high risk operation required the element of surprise with operatives behind enemy lines, there is simply no way that Ukraine can trust the people in the Trump admin to keep something like that a secret from Russia given the fact that this govt at the highest levels is populated by Putin apologists, appeasers, and outright fans.

Protection racket

 

Impeach Trump

Actually, he's right on that question.

He's going to demand ABC fire Terry Moran, isn't  he?

UPDATE 05/05/2025:

Putin's answer to Trump

 

Erroneous, my ass

 

And what kind of government delivers immigration status notification by email, ffs?

Another Trump reversal of a horrible decision

 

America is no more

 

Trump 2.0 - Deliver to Russia

 

Do you think Elon even knew this?

 

UPDATE 01:57 pm:

Marco wants to stop being "Little Marco".   Maybe if he acts like as big a jerk as the rest of them, Trump will stop calling him that.

Blinding Ukraine

 

Utterly despicable.

Susan Collins is concerned

 

But, Susan, you told us Trump had learned his lesson.

Ukraine is very much alive

Ukraine says its forces successfully hit an oil refinery in the Russian town of Kstovo, around 800 kilometres (500 miles) from the front lines in eastern Ukraine. Four drones hit a Lukoil company depot, Ukrainian media said, adding that the facility suffered significant damage.

[...]

Regional governor Gleb Nikitin said that drone debris had fallen over the industrial zone, and that no casualties had been reported at the scene.

  BBC

Unless you count the oil refinery.

It is one of the largest Ukrainian operations of its kind during the war and the second massive drone attack this week. On Friday, Ukraine hit another Russian oil refinery and targeted Moscow during an attack involving a wave of at least 121 drones.

[...]

As the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, the conflict grinds on.

Russia is making regular small advances in the east of Ukraine, edging ever closer to the strategically important city of Pokrovsk, which plays a crucial role as a logistics hub used by Ukrainian forces in the region.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continue to hold on to several hundred square kilometres of territory in Russia's western Kursk region, where they launched a lightning offensive in August.

Meanwhile, despicable as always...
