Donald Trump was deliberately left in the dark about Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strike in Russia on Sunday, which destroyed nearly a third of the Kremlin’s strategic bomber fleet in a surprise attack.
The large-scale drone attack saw a fleet of drones scattered all across Russia carry out simultaneous attacks on five airbases, wiping out 40 irreplaceable military bombers worth an estimated $7 billion, which have been used to reign terror upon Ukrainian civilians.
“Operation Spider-Web” took over 18 months to plan and was personally overseen by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a source told CBS News.
“Ukraine doesn’t give intel to obvious Russkie mole”
Yeah, no shit
I would be more curious to know if there is anyone downstream of Trump working within the Pentagon/CIA that’s still actively coordinating US intelligence with Ukranian forces.
Like, is the entire US military cut out of Ukrainian operations at the NATO level. Or is some faction within the Joint Chiefs pulling a SpaceX and giving Trump/Hegseth the Elon Musk busy-box while they run things outside his purview?
Why would anyone even consider telling any politicians of foreign nations about a top secret project like that, much less blabbermouths like Donald Trump?
I’d be surprised if Ukraine isn’t feeding Trump false info to see if Russia reacts to it
Dont know about false, but a good mix of low priority targets.
Dantooine. Zelenskyy is on Dantooine.
Between nations that share trust and respect, theoretically, it would give them time to reposition themselves to the coming reality, and perhaps more importantly, give any assets they have in the area a warning to keep their heads down/not step on any toes.
You are confusing nations with people. You can’t trust a nation (or any other organization), you can only trust individuals because an organization can always contain individuals of diametrically opposed behaviors.
And the operation turned out to be a complete success! Looks like a good strategy going forward.
Not one person on this entire site can tell me anyone should trust tRump in ANY situation, let alone one where he has leverage over you and interest in… your stuff. Expect more of this by the way; turns out when you’re a constant asshole to everyone, nobody wants to be around you or rely on you, let alone offer to extend help in your direction. I’m honestly baffled what people fucking expected, only brainrotted simps believe in the real adult world, on the global stage, you can twist everyone’s arms to get your way without consequence forever. And only tRump can’t see this cause that’s been his ENTIRE life: No consequences ever for being the absolute worst person regarding character and conduct.
Ukraine is a sovereign country, they don’t need to tell Don anything.
Exactly. As a courtesy they might give trusted allies a few hours notice, or at least inform them when the op has started. But unless they needed the assistance of an ally in planning and preparing such an attack then informing anybody well ahead of time serves no useful purpose at all.
Ukraine is a sovereign country
NATO to the left of me. Putler to the right.
Ukraine’s a few steps shy of Kurdistan when it comes to sovereignty. They don’t even bother with elections anymore, given how much of the country is contended or outright occupied. So much of the killing and the dying is about changing that.
If it’s been said to a Russian troll once, it’s been said a thousand times now. Ukraine’s constitution doesn’t allow for elections during a state of war.
Hope they don’t end up like Korea, technically in a State of War for 70 years running.
So much of the killing and the dying is about changing that.
What the actual fuck are you saying? Are you implying that Russia is doing Ukraine a favor by initiating the killing so Ukraine can become part of Russia to avoid the killing that Russian could’ve simply not done?
What the actual fuck are you saying?
That Ukraine is occupied territory. It’s as sovereign as the West Bank atm. Pretending otherwise is delusional, not patriotic.
Except it is not occupied territory.
Someone inform Crimea.
Even if he weren’t a Russian simp, why would Ukraine tell anyone? An 18 month long attack is just tooo much invested to risk losing the surprise
Yeah you don’t typically tell the enemy about your secret attack plans
There is nothing anyone should discuss with Cheeto, he is dumb and works for russians. There is absolutely no value in that person, he is a completely worthless useless being.
He’s worse than worthless, he’s actively harmful
Correction… he works only for himself.
That’s what Putin wants him to think
Good. He’d have fucking spilled the beans
He would have literally called Putin and tried to make a ‘deal’ the second he heard any plans
I don’t like this planet anymore 👍
As is appropriate.
I’m trying to recall a disco song from, I believe, the 1970s whose lyrics in the chorus went somewhat like the following - though I might be mistaken:
“That’s the way uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh”
Not totally sure of the relevance, but you’re thinking of K.C. & The Sunshine Band’s 1975 That’s the Way (I Like It).
You do not inform enemy agents of your secret military operations.
LOOK AT THE FIREPLACE! No fake spray gold ornamentation! What the shit?!? Is the Oval Office a reality tv show set? Compare the fireplace from when Zelenskyy visited to Ramaphosa’s visit on May 25:
That’s some heinous Temu-quality decor! stay classy USA
🤡
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 stay classy murica
The u.s is not an ally to any of us, we have to purposely hide things from them or government and treat them as spies for Russia.
I would not tell Krasnov jack shit about any military operation.
Plans love silence.
And it’s never been truer. Doesn’t even matter who sits in White House, strictly Ukrainian business that had to pass through as little ears as possible.
Probably sounds better in Ukrainian but “Operation Spider-web” is still fucking badass
Apparebtly, it is Операція “Павутиння”… it sounds pretty badass to me
