Give a barbarian an opportunity to steal and surprise surprise! They go on a looting spree. Ukraine isn't even going to have to waste drones on the remaining warehouses, the Wildberry executives will burn them down themselves to cover up their theft.
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦😂 Wildberries management has begun stealing goods from entire logistics hubs and then recording them as "destroyed by drones", - Babel This particularly applies to valuable items such as jewelry and electronics.
What the reflecting pool farce reveals is how far the current Trump regime has travelled down the road to dictatorship. The flow of information is completely top down now. Trump decides, and everyone is expected to make it happen. There is no longer any room for information to flow upwards.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸“The Reflecting Pool mess is different from other Trump obsessions because it reveals just how immune to evidence and logic his beliefs have become, even when a trusted lieutenant wheels an entire box of supporting evidence into the Oval Office.”
The US military is alarmed by the attitude of the political operatives in the WH. They are trying to get through to the Republicans in Congress that they need to do something to put an end to the stupid use of munitions.
Olga NesterovaAre we trying to be taken over or why is this now publicly available information? One can only guess the “master strategy” behind it all.
This requires a lot of technical and administrative expertise which African nations struggle to acquire as the people they train suddenly acquire options to emigrate to the developed world.

The question becomes one of how much credibility has the Trump regime burnt? Are they actually applying pressure, or just spitting into the wind?

I'm not sure the liberal reputation is completely warranted. There are a lot of traditional conservatives here who reject the extremism that infects so much of "right wing" media. Traditional conservatives get labeled as liberals by the extremists though because they are afraid of them.
The VergeBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
And this folks is why Muscovy's claim of shooting down all drones, but some damage caused by falling debris, is often very accurate.
WarTranslated (Dmitri)Russian air defense forces in Gelendzhik shot down a drone right on the beach. It is reported that at least three people were killed there.
To be fair to the military leadership, they didn't think the attack was a good idea to begin with for this exact reason.

No, Putin is not afraid of Trump. Putin sees trump as nothing more than a chump to be manipulated and played like a cheap fiddle. If Putin was afraid of trump he would be being very very cautious about offending trump, but he isn't.
Anton GerashchenkoLauraLoomer: Vladimir Putin is afraid of Donald Trump: "Vladimir Putin is afraid of Donald Trump. He is. He can pretend like he's not, but Vladimir Putin knows that Donald Trump is the one who calls the shots. He could have been way more aggressive towards Vladimir Putin if he wanted to.
