Love what Ukraine did with the weekend strikes on Russia, I bet the Russians are dumb enough that this might work again.

Otherwise you can bet the Ukrainians are sure to come up with an equally smart and effective plan for their next attack on the Orcs...Putin should quit while he is behind but probably won't as he has t-rump stupidity syndrome. imo

I've been wondering if Putin had a feeling something might be coming so he ordered Krasnov to pubicly criticize him last week. No doubt thinking Zelensky would be naive enough to believe there'd been a falling out & would then loop Trump in on the plans who would, of course, feed them to Putin.

Just my musings, nothing to back this up.

Vladimir Putin held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the KGB. He served as a foreign intelligence officer for 16 years before resigning to pursue a Stalinistic political career. Putin sort of reminds one of Major Wolfgang Hochstetter, played by Howard Caine, in Hogan's Heroes. Hochstetter was a zealous, hot-tempered character who was known for his high opinion of himself and his constant suspicions of Hogan. The difference, of course, is that Hochstetter is an imaginary television character in a television series whereas Vladimir Putin is a vicious, murderous War Criminal who is waging an illegal War of Aggression in Ukraine killing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians.

Really hope they have more drones in Russia already, waiting to attack more military targets.
