The enemy is advancing, and we must undermine its ability to make rapid breakthroughs, as it did near Selydove last year, in order to survive in a war of attrition. British drones will help us achieve this.
Anyone calling Operation Spider’s Web a “Pearl Harbor” is either uninformed, blinded by Hollywood myths, or pushing paid propaganda claiming Russia will now recover and win.
There are no signs that Russia's strategic campaign is achieving any goal other than civilian suffering and billions of dollars spent on missile strikes.
Once again, the coalition of rogue states is convinced the West isn’t ready for prolonged campaigns, economic strain, or human losses because even losing a couple of planes causes hysteria. That’s a problem.
