    >Details: During the interview, Zelenskyy shared a summary from the daily presidential briefing he receives from Ukrainian intelligence services. The report stated that Russian satellites had taken images of Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on 20, 23 and 25 March.

    >”We know that if they make images once, they are preparing. If they make images a second time, it’s like a simulation. The third time it means that in one or two days, they will attack,” he said.

    In a better universe that AWACS was being used to provide Ukraine intelligence against the Russian invasion.

    As it is, if Trump acknowledges the destruction and deaths of US servicemen at all it will be in defence of Putin.

  3. Well yeah. Russia is the main beneficiary from this war. They were on the brink of collapse and this is just the lifeline they need to refill their coffers.

  4. Why wouldnt Russia prolong this conflict? I would add fire to both sides if i was Putin, it only makes sense.

    US took satellite photos of Iranian defenses. China took photos of US bases, Russia took photos of Israel and US bases. Are we really discussing this? Zelensky is talking like he isn’t doing the same thing against Russia? Any country with a space program will use their satellites to help their allies. For Russia anyone other than the US and NATO are allies

    And Trump trusts Putin more than the EU as of comments from like a week ago, right? What a compromised motherfucker

    We help Ukraine against them, they help Iran against us. Why is this surprising? I’m not saying we shouldn’t be helping Ukraine, we should be going more. We also shouldn’t start stupid wars that will cause the Russians to do the same.

  8. This is a smart move from Zelensky. He knows Trump is in favor of ending the Ukrainian war as soon as possible and giving Russia whatever it wants to do so (not recognizing that Russia would just request all the heavily defended territory… then just attack when Ukraine loses all its defenses).

    So, instead of attacking the Pedo in Chief directly, he’s consistently making it clear to the American public that Russia is killing Americans with their actions and Russia is trying to undermine the US everywhere.

    Contrary to what many people say, this is causing strife in conservative circles who are getting increasingly mad at Russia. This puts pressure on Trump as Trump’s popularity is tanking and is crushing Republican chances at the mid terms causing the party to turn on Trump. Trump’s efforts to take control of the elections are falling apart and people are voting against candidates he backs.

    It’s said that as they took the images they were saying: All your base are belong to us

    We all know what Zelenskyy is trying to do, and I don’t blame him for it.

    But there’s no chance the US is going to war with Russia over Iran.

    They take pictures of everything. Russian satellites take pictures of everything this is not news.

  12. Just pointing out, Ukraine was invaded by Russia (Russia was an aggressor) and Ukraine is fighting the aggressor.
    Iran was invaded or rather so far attacked by the US and Israel, the US and Israel are the aggressors and which side does Zelensky support? The aggressors. That tells you everything you need to know about morals in the modern world particularly in world politics.It’s not about who’s right or wrong, it’s what’s in it for me.

  13. Had to make sure they knew exactly where those EWACS planes were! Russia didn’t want them to miss.

    While countless billions flow to Russia from Trump lifting oil sanctions against them… as they were tottering on the edge of financial ruin… Kompromat paying off again!

    If I had satellites I would take images at every orbit turn like a data hoarder.

    It’s actually scary how Americans still refuse to see russians as their enemies when russians clearly do.

  16. This guy has been spilling tea on Russia for a few weeks now. Meanwhile in the US, lifts sanctions on Russia.

  17. Why this is a surprise. And it does not even require any intelligence asset to figure this out. US provides intelligence inputs to Ukraine against Russia. Russia provides it to Iran against US. War is war.

  18. Pretty cool that the world taught Russia and Iran how to do this with victory lap articles on how Ukraine was able to strike deep into Russian lines and rely on satellite imagery, etc. What’s even more ridiculous is the US learned nothing about what ukraine accomplished and left an AWACS parked where Iran could destroy it

    Surprise, surprise, not helping Ukraine actually hurts the US. Better to wear down the bear than let him take up side hobbies.

  20. letsridetheworld on

    It’s crazy time that Trump is actually working for Russia now and that American are going to be sent into a meat grinder because the USA will just send off the locations of all the soldiers to Russia who then share with Iran lmao

  21. Unless you declare this before the attack, this sounds like made up intelligence or intelligence provided to them. I do not believe Ukraine has this kind of intelligence capability or network on their own.

  22. That same air base that was used to hide the Americans that killed the 150 students? Am I supposed to believe this is somehow a bad thing?

  23. JellyButterPeanu1 on

    Well duh. America provides Ukraine with intelligence. Russia provides Iran with intelligence. 

  24. Hey at least they confirmed their target as the military base and not a little girls school before shooting.

    Surely Putin wouldn’t do that to Trump! They’re buddies! Trump has a nice photo of the two of them in the White House. /s
