  • Ukraine is benefitting by selling their drone interceptors and training. It’s their best avenue to secure funding for their defense against the ongoing invasion. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Ukraine has no choice but to side with the US, lest they get cut off from weapon imports and intelligence. If Europe wants Ukraine to not side with the US, they need to do more to support Ukraine. But we all know that Europe won’t meaningfully step up its support of Ukraine, so the only pathway left to Ukraine is to sell its interceptor tech to the orange in chief and the oil oligarchies.

    I can’t verify the following, but it makes too much sense not to be true. Allegedly, the EU worked to provide oil and gas to Hungary at even lower prices than Russia is demanding. But because Hungary is the most corrupt country in thr EU, Orban’s benefactors would lose lucrative deals with the Russians, so Hungary stuck with importing oil and gas from Russia.
