Hey Putin FAFO

Long overdue. What I don't understand: Why now? What could possibly justify this change now that wasn't already the case months or years ago?

The only answer I can come up with is incredibly cynical—that Trump's win makes continued attrition (at the cost of Ukr lives) no longer a viable strategy.

Putin claimed this was a red line that would indicate US and Europe "are fighting with Russia.”

He claimed missile launches into Russia would require data from Western satellites and that only servicemen from NATO member states would be able to “input flight missions into these missile systems.”
