    Well, likely the inaction and inability of the current progressive administration will saddle him with the task of handling the matter. It would not surprise me at all as that is how the liberal-progressive operates.

    The current admin is completely terrified of escalation. There is no way they are going to authorize any US direct strike on Russian soil.

    And that's the problem. They play right into Putin's hands with this. He's always going to use their (and our) better nature against us, which is why you need to stand tall and force him to clarify that position to the world at large. "So, in your opinion Vlad, sending arms to a nation that was unilaterally attacked by its neighbor is cause for Global Thermonuclear War? Would you like to explain that to the rest of the world?"

    I can see Trump removing Ukraine’s life support because he doesn’t like losers. Otherwise - and never mind Trump - the US (and the West) is in no position to dictate to Russia militarily or politically. I predict the war will continue until the Kyiv regime collapses.

    Ukraine has started sinking Russian ships in the Caspian Sea, after destroying Russia's navy in the Black Sea. This might discourage weapons shipments from Iran.

    After bludgeoning Russia's navy in the Black Sea, Ukraine is now going after a new batch of warships

    top russian general running their torture centers has been killed
    Ukraine conflict: Top Russian general linked to camps killed

    General Pavel Klimienko, commander of the 5th Independent Motorized Rifle Brigade, was killed in Ukraine. According to foreign media, his brigade has several locations in Donetsk where torture is practiced, described by witnesses as a "concentration camp."

    Russian brigade created a concentration camp
    At the same time, in April, Klimienko's fighters allegedly tortured Vladimir Frolov, a music teacher with a third-degree disability, who was mobilized despite his poor health. Frolov tried to apply for a discharge from service but ended up in so-called torture cells controlled by Klimienko's brigade. Unfortunately, he died. The family had to bury him in a closed coffin due to severe body damage.

    In August 2024, the Astra site published an investigation revealing the brutal practices of the commanders of the 5th Independent Motorized Rifle Brigade named after Alexander Zakharchenko. Commanders were forcing subordinates into brutal actions through torture and systematically profiting from the war in Ukraine.

    According to sources gathered by "The Insider," in the Donetsk area, particularly in the Petrovsky district, this brigade operates several locations intended for torture, which are described as a "concentration camp with a torture conveyor belt."

    Wait, are you suggesting the US first strike Russian military bases over something that happened months ago and not on US soil?
