Summary

For the first time, Ukraine launched a drone attack on Russian navy vessels in the Caspian Sea, striking the port city of Kaspiysk, far from the front lines.

Footage shared by Ukrainian authorities shows drones targeting Russian ships, with antiaircraft fire in the background. Russia’s Dagestan governor confirmed one drone was intercepted.

This attack marks another setback for the Russian navy, which has suffered heavy losses in the Black Sea due to Ukraine’s asymmetrical tactics.

Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike capability has enabled recent attacks on key Russian military sites.

Ukraine had better get its hits in before January unless Europe really ups its game between now and then. I’m sure they will fill the American vacuum quickly, but it’s a question of how quickly they can do it.

At least Germany has already agreed to give more military aid to Ukraine

We already started during this year. No sane leader trusted in a coin flip to guarantee our security. A possible Trump presidency was planned for.

Sending US arms to Ukraine is less about Ukraine than it is giving money to the US arms manufacturers. I’m sure those influential military industrial complex fat cats will find ways to keep the cash flowing - even if they have funnel it through someone else.

I’m glad you’re sure, but from other responses, it doesn’t sound like European nations agree with you and they are working to fill the gap.

US arms manufacturers will have billions and billions flowing from Israel (read: USA tax payer)

This will be the Trump response to Ukraine.

If you don’t concede to Russia’s peace demands we will pull out of NATO.

Europe will dry up like grandma’s sense of humor.

They only have 3 months. Remember when trump asked him to make a fraudulent statement against Biden in exchange for aid? This guy remembers.
