The Ukrainians are now openly discussing shutting off the power to Moscow while the USA has helped Russia over the last few months by slow walking Patriots to Ukraine.
Also, a Pokrovsk update (the narrative finally has shifted) and US oil sanctions are shown to be toothless.

His "sanctions" on Russia are a sham. If he wanted to sanction Russia and countries doing business with Russia, all he would have to do is call for the passage of Graham-Blumenthal. But he wont, so he does not want to.

Btw, the press obsessing about Mamdani seems weird. He seriously underperformed the Democratic vote in NYC compared to recent elections, barely scraping 50%. Moderate Democrats in VA and NJ dramatically overperformed. That seems the real story

Indeed, election perversion operations are being pushed right now.
Though the palpable air of panic is at least something to behold
