@shashj The easiest, quickest and most certain way to get rid of Musk is to put him on the cover pages of magazines. Trump cannot stand anyone getting more publicity and admiration than himself. Journalists! It's all up to you.

@FRHoffmann1 Highly interesting - thanks! I assume that nuclear mines, artillery munitions, depth bombs, surface-to-air missiles etc. are no longer available?

@JStein_WaPo @elonmusk @lizzadwoskin @hannah_natanson @jocwapo The most crucial thing is whether Trump promises amnesty to those doing illegal stuff in DOGE.

@ChrisO_wiki And sending the wounded with crutches also serves the purpose of UKR wasting its drones on combat-ineffective troops.

@WarintheFuture @ZelenskyyUa Truly surprised that Mr Ryan takes the thread at face value. What Zelensky is doing is to dupe Trump into a transactional deal.

@MBielieskov As brutal as sounds -and is indeed- is that it's in EUR interest to wear RUS's war machine out in UKR and by Ukrainians, thereby buying time for EUR rearmament. Finally Europeans see RUS for what it is - at immense cost for the Ukrainians.

@MBielieskov Political operatives must keep up hope and give unrealistic scenarios. Analysts don't have that luxury, and they should face the grim reality.

@ChrisO_wiki Hitler also loved black people.

@wartranslated The fastest -and bullet-proof way- of getting rid of Musk is to give him publicity. Trump cannot stand anyone outshining him!

@ChrisO_wiki Well - it's a vehicle, sex partner and meal. All in one.

@ChrisO_wiki I wonder if Surovikin had been a much more effective leader than Gerasimov?

@shashj RUS's core objective is to prevent UKR from 'slipping away' from RUS's clout. Hence, any peacekeepers, tripwires or sec.guarantees will be a red flag and a deal-breaker for Russia. Great piece by Sergey Radchenko:

@DrRadchenko A brilliant, insightful piece by Dr R! Putin inherited USSR's nukes and he believed with them he also gained the prestige and gravity of USSR, which was not the case. Instead, he witnessed the undisputed US hegemony in int'l affairs, driven by the Unipolar Moment.

@shashj US is -indeed- in a self-destruction mode.

@WarintheFuture @HalBrands Insightful analysis as always by Mr Brands. Let's see how high a turnover there'll be among the senior officials, and which faction will prevail in the turmoil.

@RusiAlpo Valko-Venäjä on Venäjälle yhtä tärkeä kuin Ukraina, ja -valitettavasti- sitä Venäjä ei päästä karkuun.
