10/10 Ukraine is already fighting smart and asymmetric. It needs to go further and faster.

Europe must act now by transferring frozen assets.

Every day of hesitation strengthens Moscow. The time to strike is now

8/10 Europe must finally step up.

Transfer frozen Russian assets, fund Ukraine’s strike campaign, and boost military aid.

Without this, Ukraine cannot scale asymmetric actions properly

1/10 Ukraine must make sure Russians never feel in control.

It is going more and more asymmetric because playing fair will not win this war where Russia never does.

Reminder: Brown Univ killer is still on the loose because Kash Patel is the most incompetent FBI Director ever.
Brown University killer is still on the loose because Trump and Kash Patel once again failed America. Not only that Trump lied on Saturday claiming killer was in custody. Then on Sunday a person of interest was arrested causing Kash Patel to brag his FBI did it. But turns out arrested wrong person.
