Apparently, the primary Russian Navy port near Murmansk for its SLBM capable nuclear submarine fleet was also struck at the same time. I have yet to see any battle damage assessments from that attack.

It looks like the Russian strategic bomber fleet literally may no longer exist as a meaningful threat. They only had 25 to 30 TU 22 variants designed to carry cruise missiles - conventional or nuclear. They were the primary platform launching cruise missiles into Ukraine and would be used to launch nuclear tipped ones against the US and Western Europe.

Thats what I was wonder when I saw the models destroyed. This is a major major set back. Unbelievable they did it in daylight, what an amazing operation.

One of the first reactions over on Telegram by a Russian journalist about the massive and successful Ukrainian strike on Russia's strategic aviation assets.

Early this morning the Special Operations elements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out what may have been the most successful attack on Russian aviation assets since the Luftwaffe caught the Soviet air force on the ground on June 22, 1941. UA is currently officially claiming the destruction of more than 40 aircraft including A-50, TU-95, and TU-22 variants on at least four major airbases.

Details are still emerging, but apparently SOF successfully drove large trucks to areas near major bases from which swarms of drones were launched to attack individual aircraft. Focus seems to have been strategic transport, command and control, and bomber aircraft. Apparently the trucks then self-destructed following the attack.

Video clips indicate that the individual drones were manually flown to targets indicating a very sophisticated communications system was utilized. Below are some initial clips and photos from both Russian and Ukrainian sources. The little thug in the Kremlin will not be pleased.

One example: a quote from an article that Trump said while being interviewed for a story in 2002 for New York magazine, about Jeffrey Epstein: "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

C'mon man.... LOL

If an Epstein association is the standard by which you are making your assertion about Trump's character, you need to include an endless list of prominent professional athletes, Hollywood actors, politicians, and billionaires from all political persuasions.... Furthermore, there are hundreds, if not thousands of photos and videos (mostly liberal democrats) of these same celebrities posing, shaking hands, and kissing Trump's ass long before he ever ran for POTUS... So, is that an indictment on their character as well? Don't answer... That was rhetorical...

As somebody already stated here, you are going to have to try harder than that...

 

[Altitude sickness]

I heard today that Ukraine has been planning this attack for a year. And did not inform the US because the US being involved in taking out 1/3 of the Russian strategic bombers would be seen as a major escalation.

The moral character of Donald Trump - you're kidding, right? Do a search of all of his indiscretion. Even if we allow for some of them not to be true it defies credulity to believe everyone is lying and out to get him.

One example: a quote from an article that Trump said while being interviewed for a story in 2002 for New York magazine, about Jeffrey Epstein: "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

15 years, and they were really close according to many sources. That's not exactly a vote for strong moral character. Either he was complicit and/or accepting, or he was the densest yokel to ever fall off a turnip truck.

I think @Tanks was spot on with his wording.

I will agree with you on any observations from 2002, Im talking about 2025, People can and do change morally , if not personality wise. the man walked away from a multi successful realestate career, for what? his sons are all both hunters, and not druggies, 5 points, his daughters are responsible citizens, 5 points, his wife first lady Melania, is as far as i know is far and away above dr Jill , 10 points. no drunk driving off the chappaqui.,{ SP,} bridge and drowning his secretary. 10 points. You get my drift.

Add some more points for donating 100% of his presidential salary to the tune of $3.2 million over 2 terms

 

[cwpayton]

Hmmm, he cheated on Ivana with Marla Maple (Maples introduced herself as his lover to Ivana when both were brought to Aspen by Trump), Melania with Stormy, stiffed vendors on many of his projects, stiffed customers at Trump University which resulted in a $25M settlement after 3 fraud lawsuits (filed in 2013 before he was in politics).

Not the mention the stolen election claims in 2020 which cost us Georgia Senate seats enabling Democrats to pass budget bills via reconciliation.

we have our opinions , I dont know who he cheated on , certainly not trusting the news to determine that. the first three impeachments failed, Im thinking they will come up with more in 2026. WHAT I do know is I'm more interested in what he does for my country and is he honest about that, not his moral turpitude on houses wives. shall we compare him to joe and jill and his sons to Hunter, was he sleeping with his brothers wife? treachery , treason , betrailer, thats what concerns me. stolen election ! facts are out there.

That- if true- has strategic implications

Not just for a regional war

yep looks like their triad went to an ify dos. if their subs still work. Fantastic.

The post I responded to was not about the moral character of other celebrities. It was about the moral character of Donald J. Trump. Nice try with attempting to obscure that though. I personally find it troubling, based on Trump's own comments, that he was so buddy-buddy with such an absolute low-life for over a decade. Folks that attempt to explain it away or excuse it, well that tells me a lot about their own moral compass.

And those friends/ acquaintances/ passenger lists have still not been released.

Curious, isn't it?

I hold no hope it ever will. Everybody talks a good game... until it's time to ante up.

 

[Scott CWO]

Trump is probably on the list.

 

[cwpayton]

my understanding is Mossad does not want those docus. released, its a national security and embarrassment for other nations as well as past pres. of US.. Personally I have not much interest in them any more as the main character is dead and the sewer rats have fled. what Im more interested in is the proven sex trafficking of 10s of 1000s of children in the us brought in over our border by BIDEN AND JILL ,who sat on a board in Guatemala for some kind of families aid front. This is from the personal interview of the Guatemalan AG. about a month ago, its on utube.
one of our own gov. agencies admitted they have no idea where these children are, but they acknowledged pawning out 30 children to one man at 1 address. Hmmmm, nothing to see here, much easier to criticize the potus for ever thing he does including 25, year old sexual indiscressions or tyst . but I can guarantee u with his age and work load thats not so much a problem in 2025. or is it,

 

[Corey0372]

Trump is probably on the list.

If Trump was caught up with any of Epstein's operations the Biden admin had 4 years to put it out there.

If I'm not mistaken Trump cut ties with Epstein around 2005, banned him from Mar A Lago, and cooperated with LE when Epstein was arrested the first time. Lots of other high profile people did none of those things and remained close to Epstein even after his conviction.

Trump may be on the client list, but he hasn't shown up yet on the lists that have been released. Trump's degeneracy is usually on full display, and adult women seem to be what he's into, not flying to an island to abuse kids.

Ehud Barak was a close friend to and frequent guest of Epstein, that relationship and Ghislaine Maxwell's intel connections is my guess as to why the full story hasn't come out.
