Two A-50 early warning aircraft were hit by the “Spider”, along with a Tu-95MS bomber loaded with X-101 missiles — according to still frames from an SBU video.

According to monitoring estimates, more than 10 cruise missiles may have been destroyed along with the aircraft at the airfield.

There was a rumour that Russia was planning a large missile strike prior to this drone strike and Ukraine knew about it. Which would also create a question of how Ukraine knew about the attack coming before the planes were even in the sky. More than 10 cruise missiles destroyed because many of these planes were already equipped with them, does suggest they were about to use them for an attack.

Every single time.

🇺🇸‼️ "Trump asked the Senate not to consider the bill on tightening sanctions against Russia for now," says Senate Armed Forces Committee Chairman.

Knew it. Senate Republicans won't put forth this bill for certain now.

Too Weak Trump.

Ain't it funny how Putin went into hiding after the strike, then suddenly popped up again today, only 2 hours ago gave comments about it and then had a phone-call with Trump, in the same hour we have a comment from the Trump admin that they're telling Senate to not issue sanctions yet, Looooooooool. The coordination is blatant to see.

ok, lol.  

But regardless, Germany could very well be influencing things behind the scenes.  

After senators heard from countries worried about being caught up in 500% sanctions if they trade with Russia — a major energy producer in Europe — Graham said he plans to change the bill to omit levies on countries that have helped the fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Why don’t we carve out for countries who are helping Ukraine? If you’re providing military economic assistance to Ukraine, you get a carveout. So China, if you don’t want to get sanctioned, help Ukraine … that makes sense to me,” Graham said in an interview.

Graham offers Europe-friendly carveout to Russia sanctions bill | Semafor

Graham, we all know how much of a dickhead you are, in this case, I actually need you to be a dickhead, screw this, anyone funding Russia's war machine should be punished, including European countries, I don't care anymore. It has been 3 years now, enough with the half measures, it's time for drastic action. It will hurt us and guess what, it will hurt Russia too, way more than it will hurt us.

Sick of the excuses for funding Nazi Russia. Don't give anyone a carve out.

I also think Trump didn't comment on Ukraine's attack until today as well, until Putin commented on it, Lmfao.

Too WEAK Trump Always Chickens Out

Or in other words: TWEAK TACO 

I'm convinced that his echo chamber genuinely doesn't let information of Ukrainian actions come trough to him and only hears from them through Putin or meetings.

How though? Transnistria borders only Ukraine and Moldova, neither of which would willingly allow Russian troops to pass through.

He is basically saying Russia is trying to interfere in Moldova's elections to try to install a pro-Russian Moldovan who will then allow Russian troops into Transnistria, of course, that still doesn't exactly answer the question of how they get into Moldova, via sky? Ukraine will shoot them down, via sea? Ukraine will blow it up, and only a very tiny part of Moldova touches the sea anyway, Lol.

So it'd have to be an extremely covert op still, like "regular Russians" moving to Moldova via Romania, but oh, they turn out to be Russian military, Lol. Russia did this tactic in Donbas and Crimea but they had direct routes to those, so it'd be complicated still, they'd still have to go through Romania but Romania came extremely close to electing a pro-Russian President recently...So it's not entirely impossible.
