Putin's useless morons in the Freedumb caucus tried to cut Ukraine's throat today. They failed miserably.

Black Hornets (nano drone helos with IR capablities) are included with the next round of assistance given to Ukraine to defeat Putin's orcs.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is sending up to $400 million in additional military aid to Ukraine, including a variety of munitions for advanced air defense systems and a number of small, surveillance Hornet drones, the Pentagon announced Tuesday, as attacks in the war escalated to include strikes in Moscow and Crimea.

The package includes an array of ammunition — ranging from missiles for the High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) to Stingers and Javelins. The weapons are being provided through presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to quickly take items from its own stocks and deliver them to Ukraine, often within days."


"The U.S. is also sending howitzer artillery rounds and 32 Stryker armored vehicles, along with demolition equipment, mortars, Hydra-70 rockets and 28 million rounds of small arms ammunition. The Hornets are tiny nano-drones that are used largely for intelligence gathering. Ukraine has also gotten them in the past from other Western allies." AP

NATO Planes Watched As Three Civilian Ships Ran Russia’s Naval Blockade Of Ukraine - Forbes

"A trio of civilian cargo ships—one each from Israel and Greece plus one with Turkish-Georgian registration—ran the Russian blockade in the Black Sea on Sunday and anchored at one of Ukraine’s grain ports on the Danube Delta.

Twenty-two days after Moscow canceled a deal with Kyiv—which had allowed Ukraine safely to export tens of millions of tons of grain—and then threatened to halt maritime traffic to Ukrainian ports, the world has called the Russians’ bluff.

Reports of three civilian ships sailing to Ukraine unhindered may suggest that Russia is either unwilling or unable to enforce such searches at this time,” the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, D.C. noted.

A flock of NATO aircraft carefully monitored the ships as they sailed toward Izmail, a small Ukrainian port just across from Romania on the Danube River. The vessels presumably will load grain in Izmail then sail back into the Black Sea and onward to foreign ports."

Tip o' the hat to those brave captains running Vlad's threadbare blockade. Three one fingered salutes to the Russian navy, such as it is.

Reality sets in.

Senior US officers and the Secretary of Defense have been trying without success to transmit their assessment, but now reality sets in.

How is this for reality? The 4-day war to conquer Ukraine is now 535 days old with 250K dead Russian soldiers and nearly 5K destroyed tanks with Finland and Sweden now in NATO thereby turning the Baltic into a NATO lake. And now Ukraine has all the initiative, leaving the only Russian hope to murder civilians indiscriminately. Your boy, Vladimir, is every bit the master strategist.
