An 8% cut is sequestration. Putin must remember it from the 90s in Russia, and wants to see if repeated in the US.
8% cut in each of the next five years is a ~35% total cut. This would end American military supremacy.

Absolutely fair, that's what I meant, but should have been clearer. He didn't say only non-NATO nations.

- Europe must provide most of the aid (probably code for "US will provide less aid")
And on the same day, Gabbard got confirmed. There must be an enormous party at the Kremlin.

After Russian forces blew up the Kalhovka dam, witnesses reported dozens - hundreds? - of floating bodies.
And occupied Donetsk? Kherson region? Luhansk? Nobody knows.
Finally, these are civilian deaths. Tens of thousands of 🇺🇦 servicemembers killed over and above this figure.

Many (most?) deaths occurred in what is now Russian-occupied territory. And the occupiers aren't eager to compile and release information on the people they killed.
In Mariupol, during the siege, people were buried in apartment block backyards.
The death toll in Mariupol alone is -20,000

Finally, this cable goes through Gotland - a strategically important island. Paraphrasing here, but every time the Swedes would wargame an invasion, "whoever could, would immediately take Gotland."
The Suwalki Gap is another, similarly critical, location.

They have discovered that while there is ample technical ability, there is nearly zero political will to react to Russian belligerence. Which means it will continue and grow in scale and scope.

Russia and its allies have been operating in the grey zone of conflict (damaging civilian infrastructure, blowing up military warehouses, killing people, jamming communications, eliciting air defense response times) with 🇪🇺, 🇺🇸, and 🇯🇵 and 🇰🇷 for many years.
And it's getting worse, fast.
