If He Talks Like a Russian Plant and Acts Like a Russian Plant

Then maybe he's a Russian plant.

MAGA podcaster Steve Bannon is calling on President Donald Trump to nix support for Ukraine after it carried out a surprise drone attack in Russia that blindsided the White House.
...
Bannon, one of Trump’s closest confidants, commended Ukraine for executing the attack. However, he was not pleased that it occurred without Trump’s knowledge, as the White House revealed on Monday.

“The White House has to condemn this immediately and pull all support,” Bannon said on his War Room podcast Monday.

Bannon said Kyiv should have notified Trump of the escalation. He said the supposed betrayal, which he claims has brought the United States closer to war with Russia, must have consequences for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"Betrayal"? Really? The Ukrainians are fighting a war against a brutal invader. They are not our proxies, unless Bannon is saying that we are at war with Russia and the Ukrainians are our tools. They don't need our permission to strike back, using their weapons which they have designed and produced.

No, this reads as though Bannon is a mouthpiece for the Russians.

I've been busy with other stuff, so I haven't commented on the Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's long-range bomber force. For one thing, it may take some time to get a good damage assessment, but keep in mind they've previously shot down two A-50s (Russian AWACS), and the Russians don't have a lot of them.

Now the Russians have to contend with the fact that any truck travelling their roads could, in essence, be a Ukrainian aircraft carrier. They will have to protect their bases all the way to the Pacific coast.

And that has its own challenges.

It also has some rather harsh implications for the rest of the world. While it may be difficult to mount such an attack on Diego Garcia (which has a lot of American bombers parked there), there are other places that are close to civilian areas where a bunch of drones could be launched from a truck. Basically, everything from a Geo Metro on up is now a potential aircraft carrier.

From 3-D printed weapons to drones, a lot of things that were once state-only or state-controlled items are now available to anyone with the skills to make and use them. Those skills don't seem to be terribly difficult to acquire.
