I'm sure Putin already knows how Trump will respond.

“(Trump’s) actions have emboldened Putin, who has doubled attacks on Ukraine and escalated against NATO.”

— and NATO continues playing by the rules while Putin, Trump & Netanyahoo break them with impugnity. Isn’t this like fighting with one arm tied behind back or ‘bringing a knife to a gunfight’? 🙄

The ‘coalition of the willing’ get hammered just for SPEAKING OUT against these murderous, lying dictators or their actions! So they continue with their murder & mayhem while they can.

If I were living on a Russian border state and knowing their history, I would be checking all my families emergency air raid procedures and making plans to evacuate if needed. Dirty Trump has dropped NATO under the guise of getting the US out of danger and has put us on the brink of having to turn around and save Europe again. The Antibellum South celebrates their victory! Sissy Speaker Johnson, take a bow!

He was told to paralyze NATO. He has an extraordinary gift for finding the worst possible outcome imaginable.

Good job. Please keep it up

Has this type of option you mention ever been utilized involving other countries’ situations? Option: “extend a no-fly zone into western Ukraine, destroying any Russian objects within 100 kilometers of NATO territory. The details would be complex, but such a policing mission could extend over Ukraine as well as the Baltic and Black Seas.”

Today Russia operated another incursion into NATO airspace over Romania. These drones were not actually flying an attack on Ukraine nor intended to intimidate Poland, or Romania. Why would you fly drones over the most heavily defended airspace instead of using alternative less defended routes? And why bother flying drones over a NATO country you have repeatedly intimidated knowing those drones would be shot down. WHY? Because the whole purpose of flying those drones over Poland (and now Romania) is for the express purpose of getting them shot down so Russians can obtain the electronic air defense signatures of the NATO air defense system.

The actual PHYSICAL retaliation by NATO is not of consequence. What is important to Russia is obtaining the NATO identifying and targeting electronic signatures and weapons control communication systems that co-ordinate NATO air defense systems. This is extremely important as Iran has been probing American electronic warfare systems in its repeated attacks on US ships and bases off of Yemen. In April, Houthi rebels launched a five prong attack on a US carrier using drones, rockets, and even supersonic missiles.

That attack was foiled not as much by physical retaliation like shooting the targets down, but rather by electronic warfare that disabled the attack devices. In the old days US jets spewed out aluminum flack and heat grenades to confuse targeting elements on attacking missiles. Today electronic targeting and control are extremely more sophisticated and can overcome those traditional physical distractions. The moment the Houthis launched, heat signatures were immediately sensed and reported by US satellite surveillance that covers the planet. Combat alarms immediately sounded on the USS TRUMAN, but with incoming less than ten minutes out you don't have time to scramble jets to shoot down incoming. Jets are already in the air including several electronic surveillance piloted planes and large radar drones far off the carrier perimeter.

The main action on the carrier took place below deck in darkened electronic warfare command rooms. Every target was almost immediately identified as to type, speed, and direction. Even though some drones and missiles were dummies meant to confuse US targeting by flying erratic courses. Without going into detail most of the threats were nullified by electronic interference. The few missiles/drones that got thru a very distant outer perimeter were met with physical destruction via a variety of defenses. Anything getting within a mile of the carrier are literally shredded by a wall of millions of metal shrapnel fired from super modern Gatling guns shooting thousands of rounds a second. Something out of science fiction. Much of war today is fought from dark rooms full of monitors with AI assisted response commands operating faster than human thought. The electronic signature of those dark rooms were the actual targets of the drones over Poland.

Trump invoked the Wernher von Braun explanation for Russian drones.…

“I just make them go up, who knows where they come down?”

Thanks, Tom Lehrer

It's all Zelenskyy's fault for being so dang handsome, brave, and beloved.
