A Ukrainian middle-strike drone struck a Russian Yak-40 turbojet passenger aircraft at Belgorod Airport. The Yak-40 is a Soviet-designed passenger jet that is also used by Russian government and military-linked operators. #Ukraine

The Trump White House now must choose: 1) Bigger humiliation than last time, accepting Iran in control of Hormuz and charging tolls, the very thing the US attacked last month to prevent 2) Escalation of uncertain outcome with no strategy and despite depleted stockpiles

Putin is a weak leader. He doesn't understand war and peace. He thinks only in terms of active measures, with no strategic awareness. Putin puppet Trump is a weak leader. He doesn't understand anything about the real world and is lost in his own delusional, malignant narcisism.
