Ukraine could be a big win for Trump

Russian President Vladimir Putin is weakened. Now is the moment to push him to end the war.
Pinned: VIDEO: Ukraine’s intermediate-range strike campaign has undermined logistics in Russia’s operational rear. As of May 2026, Ukraine has secured a drone advantage on the battlefield, reintroduced limited elements of mechanized maneuver, and upheld a successful strike campaign against Russia. In this video, ISW’s @KatStepanenko and @georgewbarros explain how the war is entering a new phase as Ukraine's recent successes on the battlefield and beyond are challenging the positional character of the conflict that has dictated the battlefield since 2023.

Orwell fought with a Marxist militia wrongly described by many as Trotskyist (POUM broke with Trotsky and vice versa in rather spectacular fashion). Their leadership was murdered by the Soviet NKVD, which also hunted Orwell. Below is what Orwell wrote *after* returning from Spain in a celebrated essay about defending England from Nazism. Musk is what Pope meant by "a little education is a dangerous thing."

"Over the past six months, during small-team missions to test the technology, images from commercial satellites operated by Colorado-based Vantor have improved the speed and precision of Ukraine’s drone attacks. The rapid delivery to soldiers of geospatial intelligence has shortened by as much as 90% the time it takes to locate and strike Russian assets, according to the technology providers and people involved in the missions." https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/real-time-satellite-intel-is-making-ukraines-drone-strikes-deadlier-than-ever-8c2c909c?mod=hp_lead_pos4
