They had drones that were covered up in the backs of these trucks. They got close to the targets, opened up these trucks, the drones flew out and destroyed somewhere around 40 major airplanes that Russia uses in their nuclear arsenal.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He seemed to present this as one rare and limited success. &#8220;It was devastating. Then again, <strong>both sides are at fault<\/strong>. <strong>Let\u2019s get this thing over with. And\u00a0President Trump\u00a0is the one who can get this done<\/strong>,&#8221; he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Russian state media also picked up on the provocative comments:\u00a0<em>&#8220;Hundred per cent, there is no doubt, &#8217;cause he [Zelenskyy] can&#8217;t win this war on his own.

We\u2019ve got a lot of money that\u2019s been missing. No telling where it\u2019s gone\u2026,&#8221; the Alabama Senator said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think both of these [nations] have lost close to 500,000 to 700,000 people. It\u2019s devastating to the world,&#8221; he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While President Trump seems more and more willing to cease pushing the warring sides to the negotiating table, amid growing frustration, <strong>there&#8217;s been no mention of halting arms flows to Kiev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone still parroting the fabricated bullshit lie that this war was &#8220;unprovoked&#8221;, here\u2019s a dose of reality:<\/p>\n<p>In February 2014, Senator Chris Murphy stood alongside John McCain in Maidan Square and openly bragged about the US role in toppling Ukraine\u2019s elected president,\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZUzlsMLl11\">pic.twitter.com\/ZUzlsMLl11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Richard (@ricwe123) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ricwe123\/status\/1929622883107770664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The US administration now frames these arms transfers as &#8216;defensive&#8217; in nature, but it&#8217;s also clear that Ukrainian forces are heavily reliant on this Western aid as they mount attacks deep inside Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Without it, Ukrainian front lines would probably rapidly recede, and the Zelensky government would be quickly placed in a situation where it would need to sign on to territorial concessions. But so far, the Ukrainian leader has refused to contemplate giving up land, and is even vocally resistant to ceding Crimea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" class=\"username\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Mon, 06\/09\/2025 &#8211; 19:15<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/sen-tuberville-blasts-zelensky-seeking-lure-nato-war-ukraine-losing\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/sen-tuberville-blasts-zelensky-seeking-lure-nato-war-ukraine-losing<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
