Ukraine looking better

 Ukraine is starting to look better.

We first got a hint of this when Trump was suddenly positive about Ukraine.

Firstly Russia. Its economy is in a mess. They started the war with a lot of money courtesy of oil which it is highly dependant on. It has squandered it all. It is now badly in the red and has to cut expenditure even in defence industries. A lot of this is the fault of Putin. He became a billionaire by robbing russians of money. couple this with the crony capitalists there and you get massive corruption. A by-product of this is wasteful expenditure.

Remember how dependant Russia is on oil. Alas for them Ukraine highly developed drones have been blitzing russian oil refineries so much that ordinary russians have to queue for petrol!! Thus they have little oil to export let alone enough for domestic purposes. Remember too they are selling oil to China, India and other countries at much lower prices than the world price.

On the Ukrainian front their drone attacks are overwhelming. They are using brilliant tactics which are highly successful. We also know they have a home made missile which is very good but a leaving for the moment. some suspect if russia attacks their electricity stations then Ukraine will attack Russia's.

If the USA allows Ukraine some tomahawk missiles then it is no wonder Putin is sweating over this.


All in all it is looking better BUT it should be much better. Ukraine has to too much on its own. They have been highly creative but stil lneeds a lot of help.
