🚨 The US is now deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East.
Let that sink in.

The administration that cut off Ukraine’s weapons.
That humiliated Zelensky in the Oval Office. That called him a dictator.

Is now using Ukrainian technology to survive a war they started with no plan.

Here’s the math Iran figured out:

US Patriot missile: $4 million.

Iranian Shahad drone: $35,000.

Iran is flooding the zone with cheap drones until the Gulf states run out of expensive counter-munitions. It’s the same strategy they used against Russia — and Ukraine has been fighting it 250-350 drones at a time, 4-5 days a week, for two years.

Ukraine’s interceptor costs $3,000 each.

The most powerful military on earth is now dependent on a $3,000 Ukrainian quad-copter to survive an illegal war built on a 30-year-old lie.

Zelensky didn’t need us.

We needed him.

1. Zelenskyy is Brilliant, in so many ways.

I admire the Ukrainian people so much.

Slava Ukraini!!

5. I was sceptical of Zelinskyy in the beginning

I thought did Ukraine really elect a comedian to the presidency? I feared he was another trump. He's proven me wrong many times over. I now have great admiration for him.

4. Desperation breeds innovation. And the largest land war in Europe since WWII has transformed warfare.

If the felon hadn't said "fuck off" to Ukraine; if we had continued to coordinate with and supply them, perhaps we would have learned a thing or two.

But Hegseth was too busy making the military manly again to actually evolve.

Ukrainian ingenuity and innovation -- and determination -- is amazing!

A great interview with Stuart Steven's (reporting from Kyiv

9. I just have to ask, doesn't Ukraine, like, NEED these for herself?

Ukraine have such a huge surplus of these drone interceptors that they don't even need a whole bunch of them, is that it?

I have to wonder how Zelenskyy ACTUALLY feels about doing this, or if he isn't basically strongarmed into it?

If Ukraine falls soon, we'll all know what game was actually afoot in this.
