Reporting from CBS News, “Russia accused Ukrainian forces of staging a daring air raid against an oil depot inside Russian territory Friday morning. The regional governor said two Ukrainian helicopters attacked the fuel facility in Belgorod, about 20 miles inside Russia, and video showed storage tanks in flames. A U.S. official confirmed to CBS News senior national security correspondent David Martin that Ukrainian helicopters did carry out the strike, and anther one a couple days earlier against an ammunition depot in the same area. The official told Martin there was concern in Washington about how Russia might react to the strikes. Ukrainian officials did not claim responsibility for the attack themselves, but as CBS News senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams reports, it was a significant move by Ukraine’s forces.”
Let’s assume this is not a Russian false flag operation. And I like Ukraine’s strategic ambiguity: Maybe they did conduct the strike, maybe they didn’t. Maybe they’ll strike again, maybe they won’t. Whatever the case, it is safe to say that Ukraine has got some big ass balls! They understand the war precisely: Repel Russian forces and go on the offensive! The Russian military has proved to be an absolute disaster. No one predicted the direction of this war, but here we are. Russia is in tactical retreat, and Ukraine is fearless to take the fight to Mother Russia, as exactly should be done. The Ukrainian military knows how to prosecute a counterattack, and it has proved its worth and capabilities ten times over. Now is the moment that the West floods the f***ing zone with weapons and hardware. This is the opportunity that the West must exploit to degrade Russia’s military. Putin needs to be punched in the f***ing face, not merely embarrassed. Russia must be pushed out of every inch of Ukraine — from the Donbas to Crimea. The only way for this war to end is to have Russia leave, having lost control of every region of Ukraine. Then we can talk about reparations! Don’t f***ing p*ssy out NATO et al. Now is the time to knock out Russia while they’re weak. Do it now! This is your chance. Putin started this war, but Ukraine (and the West) needs to f***ing finish it, without mercy!
