    If Operation Spiders’ Web is more than just an isolated attack on Russia’s air bases and is continuing to strike deep into Russian soil, then this has serious potential to finally bring Putin to the negotiating table.

    Other than that, I think this will be a bloody war of attrition that Zelenskyy has no chance of winning.

      The EU is bankrolling Ukraine, Russia has no friends and no money. Ukraine will easily outlast Russia. They just need to stay put and keep defending their positions while taking out Russia’s capacity to attack.

        Taco/fElon are Russia’s friends/assets. They and their gop/maga supporters need to be kicked out of the usa government. Hopefully then, usa will return to Ukraine’s side.

            Hilariously true. Anyone who puts actual faith in those guys or relies on them for anything is insane. (Or just desperate as fuck, which Russia may be becoming.)

            I can’t help but think back to when Musk was threatening to cut off poor, remote areas in South America from Starlink over petty shit. Yall want THAT guy to be your friend? Yikes.

      I’m no expert, but I would think that the best way for this to work is to go all-in with the first strike. Every following strike will be SO much harder to succeed.

      Could be a “phase 2” like: Expecting all parked trucks and sheds in a 10 km radius of any military airbase to be inspected, so make traps. (Or any other phase 2 that takes advantage of the reaction.)
