Though of course he would never admit it in public, convicted felon President Trump thought the coordinated Ukrainian drone strike which wiped out a third of Russia’s bomber fleet over the weekend was “badass,” sources tell Axios. “Pretty strong,” one minion said of Donald’s private response. “He thought it was badass,” said another. A third said “from an international perspective, you’ve got a chihuahua inflicting some real damage on a much bigger dog,” which is a pretty lame assessment of Ukraine. By landmass it’s the largest country entirely in Europe and still within the top ten in population – even after depletion due to the Russian attack – though its pre-war economic weight was ranked by some measures around 20th to 25th out of roughly 45 European countries.
“The drone attack didn’t surprise him, because this is what happens when the war continues, but he is concerned that it will prolong the fighting. He wants the fighting to stop, so it disappoints him whenever there is an attack like that,” one Trump minion said to Axios, saying the concern is that the strike was a serious blow to not just Russia’s ability to attack Ukraine, but its nuclear capabilities.
