Haha, no – CIA would shit their pants. They have not done any bold operations against the Russians since 1980’s if not earlier. I’m sure Ukraine did not even inform their Western partners about this planned assasination, because they would either pressure them to call it off or leak it.

The future of war has arrived. Russians have drones too, but they are behind in this game. If Ukraine can scale this quickly enough, Russia is toast.

I think I wrote about this guy a year or so ago - so happy to know he not only survived all the combat assignments, but has also just been appointed an ambassador to Hungary by President Zelensky. No better way to shame the craven pro-Russian government of that country than sending an actual soldier who also happens to be an ethnic Hungarian and all-around an incredible person.
Hopefully he insists on a ground floor office.
This guy has been through hell - there is nothing he can be threatened with any more.
Any meeting he has with Viktor Orban should be quite something.
Does the fact that the Hungarian President approved his appointment suggest a difference of outlook between the President and Orban?

I think that generally the ambassador is approved no matter what, unless it's a real controversial choice.
The new American ambassador to Greece is a Trump pick and apparently she's said in the past Greeks are freeloaders. So this could be interesting.

It's true that ambassadors are rarely if ever not approved, but Orban's been against helping Ukraine more or less from the beginning while this guy seems to have been at the sharp end of the fighting himself (I didn't know about him before rurik's post) so this appointment has the potential to be, or become, very controversial indeed. I guess time will tell.
It’s been more or less confirmed that Orban has been promised a chunk of Ukraine if Putin were to succeed in carving up the country - so from that perspective also having an ethnic Hungarian who is also obviously a Ukrainian patriot is a good way to undercut Orban’s narrative.

The ship belonged to Russia’s defence ministry, so you can imagine what it was loaded with.

I can't believe Millions have died in this war.
Trumps proposal is that America take over the Donbas and Crimea.

Is Trump trying to bully Ukraine into this rare earth deal?
100% that's what his tantrum and not inviting Zelensky to the negotiations are all about.
He wanted Ukraine to sign away $500bn of assets with no future guarantee of protection.
And threw his teddies out the pram when Zelensky rejected the deal.
Trump dislikes Zelensky bigly. It goes as far back as Zelensky refusing to testify against Hunter Biden.
It's so deep that Trump has unwittingly lost all his leverage over Putin. All of it. But all Trump cares about is getting the American money back. Fuck the rest of the world. We don't exist.
He dislikes Zelensky far more than Putin, all because of an ego.
Don't think I've ever witnessed something like what we saw from the Oval Office yesterday.
I'm surprised that not more of the media angle is turned to what Trump really is about at this point, war profiteering.
JD Vance has the most punchable face and attitude I've ever seen.

I think at this stage no one is surprised any more.
Yeah, I think general feeling is this is what people voted and a good eye opener to see this is what would be like in other side in hands of far right nuts so reep what you sow and see if you can get through it.
In danger of cutting nose of to spite my nose, lost a huge amount of money on Tesla holdings but in a perverse way, nice to see the shit Nazi car marker making huge losses due to their Brand ambessador. Fuck his Tesla, twitter and his shite LLMs.

In many ways the people have never really been surprised at most things.
This feels different in that the opposition isn't even there and many have decided to join in with the crazies.
Honestly, may be the best thing. Europe have slept walked through the last 30 years never mind the last 3.
I don't blame the US for saying fuck you.
However the way Trump has gone about it is totally wrong, and right now Putin is laughing.
The UK scored a massive own goal at the weekend for ignoring the baltic states. They should have been the first ones in attendance to Whitehall.
US, EU and China are all roughly the same size in terms of GDP. It's interesting that the US is trying to take on two of them at the same time. This could be a big opportunity for China in particular, but also the EU.
I thought it was illegal to win territory through war since WW2? Not that there's much power to really stop it.
I didn't think they paid attention to that. You could just call it a buffer zone. Not a bugger zone, which is what I initially typed.
I blame the US.
The notion that it has been all give and none taken is total BS.
I think UK has handled this as best as it can at times. The things it's doing now in a normal world would be unfathomable but crashing the stock market, NATO, the whole Trumptards launching their meme for profiterring and hand holding with Russia is now considered acceptable.
At least,, if some how we get through this then people will at least have a reference point for what things are like under the far right. Maybe we needed a reminder...
The thing the UK got wrong was in 2022 we should have immediately stopped all none essential foreign aid and diverted that to defence spending. Even now 2.5% is way way too low.
Foreign aid is an easy target, why not just make it 0% now would be the question in 6 months.
It’s an easy target, once that is 0%, where do go? Is 3% enough for defence? Cut then into social welfare? Education? Honestly, if Russia hadn’t started this war then would we be even asking for an increase in defense. Putin and his mate Trump have created self fullfilling cycle. It’s madness.
