A reminder, given today's Ukrainian drone strikes, that it is becoming borderline-insane that we routinely allow ships *owned and operated by DoD-designated Chinese military companies* to sit in our ports with thousands of containers onboard and under their control.

Trump bragged about spending $1B bombing Houthis while getting Reaper drones shot down and losing two fighter jets to the bottom of the Red Sea while accomplishing nothing and leaking it in Signal, while “you don’t have the cards” Zelensky wipes out 40 bombers deep inside Russia.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the Ukrainian SBU’s “Spiderweb” operation and the main disinformation narrative vatniks have been spreading during the afterfall. While domestic Russian media stays silent, the vatniks and Russian milbloggers have been extremely loud. 1/20

The Vatnik claim that Russia after three years of bombing civilian targets now will bomb more civilian targets in retaliation for Ukraine reducing their capacity to do so. SMH.

With its strike on Russia’s strategic aviation, Ukraine has shown the world that Russia’s nuclear forces—so feared in the West—can and should be destroyed. Pro-Russian commentators rushed to write about an inevitable retaliatory strike, even a nuclear one, but do you know 1/8

After three years of Russia bombing cities and civilian targets, Vatniks now claim Russia will bomb more civilians in retaliation for Ukraine reducing their capacity to do so. SMH.

The russians have brutally shelled downtown of Sumy city with artillery. Just a deliberate attack on civilians. Many are dead. Many are injured. This tells you everything you need to know about russia’s “desire” to end this war.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Ukraine is deterring Putin. Like all bullies, he will now be looking to escalate elsewhere, where he sees no deterrence. Are we really deterring him enough to stop him opening a new front?

Of course they were "de-banked". Once the evidence of their enormous defrauding of Deutsche Bank became public, no bank would do business with them. Yes, Trumpists claim that this was just lawfare against Trump, but real bankers know real fraud when they see it.
