I propose NATO/EU donates 10 long range cruise missiles (without any restrictions on how to use them) for each piece of Russian trash that wanders into NATO/EU airspace, with the first batch delivered based on last night's fuckery. Pretty sure that would be the end of it.

Honestly the most impressive part isn’t the actual strike, but 18 months of planing, sourcing FPVs and explosives, building the container launch pads and network all inside of Russia without anyone noticing or some official leaking it to the press.

Based on what Russia’s political leaders have said for years, striking nuclear assets will result in massive retaliation & nuclear war… no wait, that was also what many western leaders (who support Ukraine) said.

An amazing masterpiece of war-craft by Ukrainians.

Dear Russians, this is not a terrorist attack. This is war.

Ukraine targeted your strategic bombers, not your homes.

Your own armed forces are, on the other hand, constantly terrorising Ukrainian civilians.

Trump asked today, why didn’t Ukraine fight back in Crimea in 2014? As I wrote in my book, The War Came To Us, Ukraine’s decision to not fight against Russia’s invasion was largely influenced by behind-the-scenes pressure from the US. Here’s what then-interim President Oleksandr Turchynov told me:

Trump Is Acting as a Proxy for Putin
His proposal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine isn’t a peace plan—it’s a reward for aggression.

Trump is equating choosing to defend yourself w starting a war. I think every NATO ally should pay heed. Even those w good Trump-relations.
Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

Trump again blames Zelenskyy, not Putin, for the war. If he’s not a Russian asset, he’s the most useful useful idiot in history.

This Trumpageddon is truly the best show ever, at this point I can't even sleep anymore as every episode brings a new constant stream of epic plot twists on the journey toward the inevitable catastrophe.

Slightly over the top though, I mean this couldn't ever happen in real life, could it?

A key reminder: S&P 500 falling 4% three days in a row has not happened since the Great Depression.

Following Black Tuesday in 1929, it took 25 years for the S&P to recover peak-to-peak.
