“Borderline Insane”: Analyst Warns American Military Must Prepare as Ukraine’s Deep Strike Signals China Could Launch Similar Attacks from U.S. Ports in Event of War Over Taiwan

KYIV — In its most daring covert action of the war, Ukraine says it has destroyed or severely damaged more than 40 Russian long-range strategic aircraft in a meticulously planned drone assault that struck four military airbases deep inside Russian territory. The campaign, known as Operation Spider’s Web, marks a stunning escalation in Ukraine’s asymmetric warfare strategy—and what some analysts are calling a historic reversal that could tilt the odds in peace negotiations against the larger aggressor.
The mission—overseen by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) and personally authorized by President Volodymyr Zelensky—reportedly took more than 18 months to prepare. SBU operatives smuggled first-person-view drones into Russia hidden inside wooden mobile cabins mounted on civilian cargo trucks. When activated remotely, the trucks’ roofs opened and the drones launched directly at parked Russian bombers.
“This was our most long-range operation,” Zelensky posted Sunday on X, noting the assault involved only Ukrainian forces. “One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to execution. These are Ukrainian actions that will undoubtedly be in history books.”

Never poke the Bear. Zelensky does not want peace because he knows that as soon as things settle down in the Ukraine, surviving front line soldiers will be looking for him. Zelensky is a dead man walking.
So, he needs to extend the war as long as possible, down to the last dead Ukrainian.
With respect to first person drones being remotely activated. Laughable nonsense. These drones require an operator to be nearby (in km scale) as the radio waves are short distance or if fibre-optic is being used, then again, the operator has to be nearby.
With respect to nuclear capable Tu95s and Tu22 being damaged in numbers (5 Tu95 and 2 Tu22 in actual count) doing this without informing the United States is risky (as it affects the nuclear deterrence capabilities) and if indeed this was done without the U.S.’s knowledge, then the Trump Administration has every reason to tell Zelensky and the Ukrainians to get stuffed as no nuclear power can afford to be tied to a secretive and impulsive regime.
The Ukraine is doomed to defeat, Zelensky is doomed, and Europe is going to be militarily and financially sucked into the NATO-with-the-US quagmire. And thanks to Conman Carney moving us closer to the EU military, we are going to get sucked in too.
This folks, is a classic lesson in Tactics vs Strategy.
